Static Electricity and Atomic Structure
Do Now:
1. Which of the two boxes A and B show an element.
2. How can the particles in box B be separated?
3. What kind of separation system is used when you make tea?
4. Explain why box A shows a solid and why box B shows a gas You must refer to the arrangement of both
Sentence starter: Box A shows a solid because… Box B shows a gas because…
Atomic Structure
All substances are made of atoms. These are often called particles. An atom is electrically neutral - has no overall electrical charge. However, each atom contains even smaller particles called electrons.
• Each electron has a negative charge.
• If an atom gains an electron, it becomes negatively charged.
• If an atom loses an electron, it becomes positively charged.

Label the diagram of this atom and complete the table, explaining whether it is positive,
negative or neutral.
Repulsion and Attraction
Two charged objects will:
• repel each other if they have like charges (they are both positive or both negative)
• attract each other if they have opposite charges (one is positive and the other is negative)

Session 2
Do Now:
Correct the following statements
1. Electrons are found in the nucleus
2. Protons are negative
3. Neutrons are found in shells
4. Like charges attract
Electrons can move from one substance to another when objects are rubbed together. You may have done this with a party balloon: if you rub a balloon on your sweater, you can get the balloon to stick to the wall or to your hair. This is because of static electricity.
Moving charges
When you rub two different materials against each other, they become electrically charged. This only works for electrically insulated objects and not with materials like metals, which conduct.
Transferring electrons to an object gives it a negative charge
Jumper and balloon example
Electrons transfer from the jumper to the balloon so…
- the balloon is negatively charged up
- The jumper is positively charged up
Q1 What happens when you charge up plastic and place it near a stream of water?
(Watch youtube video in the powerpoint to help you with this question)

diagrams to support your points

powerpoint/video and you can use the information below as well. All answers are found
on powerpoint/video
Some particles carry an electric charge (like protons and electrons). When it comes to wires,
these particles are electrons. We get an electric current when these electrons move from place
to place. Current is just a flow of charge, and in wires, this is a flow of electrons. These
electrons come from a battery/cell/power pack and for a current to flow you need a complete
path for the electrons to pass through (also known as an electric circuit).
KEY POINT: Current is a measure of how much electric charge flows through a circuit.
The more charge that flows, the bigger the current.
Current is measured in amperes. The symbol for ampere is A. For example, 20 A is a bigger
current than 5 A. The word ‘ampere’ is often abbreviated to ‘amp’, so people talk about how
many amps flow.
A device called an ammeter is used to measure current. Some types of ammeter have a pointer
on a dial, but most have a digital display. To measure the current flowing through a component
in a circuit, you must connect the ammeter in series with it.

You can measure how current changes and the brightness of the bulb changes when more
bulbs are added to a series circuit. The more bulbs that are added to a circuit, the lower
the current will be. The more bulbs that are added to a circuit, each bulb will have a
lower brightness.
The current is the same everywhere in a series circuit. It does not matter where you put the
ammeter, it will give you the same reading.
Current is different at different points in a parallel circuit. Current is shared between
branches in a parallel circuit. The current at each branch should add up to the current
coming from the cell.
Try for yourself – See if you can work out what the readings should be at each Ammeter.

Potential Difference 1
Do Now:
1. 1. If a circuit has no cell, what’s the problem?
2. Draw the symbol for an ammeter
3. Draw a circuit with a cell, lamp and ammeter
What is potential difference (pd)?
Another word for potential difference is voltage/volts/V (named after Italian physicist
Alessandra Volta, who invented the first electric battery).
PD is the force at which electricity moves through a conductor, such a metal wire. The greater
this force, the greater the PD. For example, an AA battery exerts a PD of 1.5 volts while your wall
socket exerts 240 volts. The AA battery will not harm you, but the socket will because more
energy is being transferred into you. If I added batteries together, I can increase the voltage. So
if one AA battery has 1.5V, two AA batteries have 3V. Voltage adds up.
How can we measure Potential Difference?
Attach the ends of the voltmeter terminals to two different points on a circuit. For example, If I
want to measure the PD across a bulb, I must touch the voltmeter pins on either side of the bulb
as follows:

Do Now:
1. Potential Difference can be measured by a……………………..
2. The units of PD are …………………
3. The total voltage of three 9V batteries is…………….
Difference in PD between series and parallel circuits?
PD stays the same even when it branches out into different wires.
However, PD only goes down when it goes through components.
Parallel = voltages all the same
Series = add voltages together
How can we calculate Potential Difference?
Therefore, using this formula triangle, we can make the following equations:
(Tip: cover the letter your seeking the answer for. If I want to know what V is, I cover it and all I
see now is I and R. So the formula will be V = I x R
Voltage (V) = Current (I) x Resistance (R)
Current = Voltage ÷ Resistance
Resistance = Voltage ÷ Current

Stretch: What is wrong with this circuit
In a series circuit, if a lamp breaks or a component is disconnected, the circuit is broken
and all the components stop working. Series circuits are useful if you want a warning that
one of the components in the circuit has failed. They also use less wiring than parallel
circuits.
The current is the same everywhere in a series circuit. It does not matter where you put
the ammeter, it will give you the same reading.
If you put more lamps into a series circuit, the lamps will be dimmer than before because less current will flow through them.
You might think that the current gets less as it flows through one component after another, but it is not like this. The current is not used up by the components in a circuit. This means that the current is the same everywhere in a series circuit, even if it has lots of lamps or other components, as shown below.
41
In a parallel circuit, there is more than one loop or branch. In a parallel circuit, if a lamp
breaks or a component is disconnected from one parallel wire, the components on
different branches keep working. Unlike a series circuit, the lamps stay bright if you add
more lamps in parallel. Parallel circuits are useful if you want everything to work, even if
one component has failed. Therefore, our homes (and things like Christmas lights) are
wired up with parallel circuits.
When two components are connected in parallel, the current is shared between the
components. The current is shared when it reaches the branches, then adds again where
the branches meet.
The four rules you must know are that
In a Series circuit :
• Current is the same everywhere
• Potential difference is shared between components
In a Parallel circuit:
• Current is shared between branches
• Potential difference is the same in the cell and the branches.

8. Des uses the following circuit to find the resistance of a lamp:
Brightness of bulb Current Voltage Resistance
bright 3A 12V 4 Ω
dim 2A 6V 3 Ω
(a) Complete the table of results to find the two missing resistances.
(b) How does the brightness change with the voltage through the bulbs?
The lower voltage gives a less bright bulb.
