ELECTRICITY

ELECTRIC CHARGES • Atoms are composed of three main parts: – Proton, p+, positive, located in the nucleus – Neutron, no, neutral, located in the nucleus – Electron, e- , negative, located outside the nucleus in the electron cloud. • Everything is made of atoms.

ELECTRIC CHARGES • Protons and electrons have a property called electric charge. • An atom has equal numbers of positive and negative charges so they cancel each other out. • Electrons can move from one atom to another atom. This movement is called electric current.

STATIC ELECTRICITY • Some atoms hold their charges more tightly. • Latin word “stasis” which means “stays”. • Static electricity is the temporary building up of charge on an object. • Protons DON’T move. • Only electrons move. • In static electricity, the charges build up and stay – they do not flow.

STATIC ELECTRICITY • When you walk across a carpet, FRICTION causes electrons to move from the carpet to your shoe. This is a build-up of static electricity. You discharge the electricity by touching a conductor.

LAW OF CONSERVATION OF CHARGE • When an object becomes charged, the electric charge is neither created nor destroyed – it just came from another object. • Static electricity is an imbalance in the amounts of positive and negative charges on the surface of an object.

STATIC ELECTRICITY • Another way to generate static electricity is with a Van de Graaf generator. • American physicist Robert Jemison Van de Graaf invented the Van de Graaf generator in 1931. • Van de Graaf generator

STATIC ELECTRICITY • There are three ways to charge on object: – Friction – Induction – Conduction (contact)

STATIC ELECTRICITY • Charging by Friction - The charge is transferred because of rubbing two objects together. - Example: shoes on a carpet - Animation

STATIC ELECTRICITY • Charging by Induction – Involves the charging of one object by another object WITHOUT direct contact. – Example: balloon and rice cereal/electroscope

STATIC ELECTRICITY • Charging by Conduction – Involves the DIRECT CONTACT of a charged object to a neutral object. – Example: Van de Graaf generator

STATIC DISCHARGE • Objects do not hold a static charge forever – objects tend towards equilibrium – they want to be neutral. • When electrons move toward this equilibrium – static discharge occurs. – Humidity – water (a polar molecule) vapor in the air pulls electrons off negatively charged objects, preventing static charges to build up. – Sparks and Lightning - objects reaching static equilibrium

CONDUCTORS • Allow the easy flow of electricity • loosely bound electrons that are free to move from atom to atom • Examples: metals like aluminum, gold, copper and silver.

INSULATORS • Insulators – resists the flow of electrons – hold more tightly to their valence electrons. – Examples: plastic, rubber, glass

VOCABULARY Electric field - the electric force per unit charge; it is radially outward from a positive charge and radially in toward a negative point charge.

ELECTRIC CURRENT • The constant flow of electrons.

ELECTRIC CURRENT REMEMBER: • Conductors let electrons move easily. • Insulators do not let electrons move easily. • A SEMICONDUCTOR has conductivity somewhere between an insulator and a conductor. Devices made of semiconductors, notably silicon, are essential components of most electronic circuits.

ELECTRIC CURRENT There are three parts to an electric charge - Voltage - Current - Resistance

VOLTAGE • Voltage - For electrons to flow there must be a potential difference between two places. • This is called VOLTAGE which is the “push” that causes electrons to flow. • It is electrical “pressure”. • Charges flow from high voltage to low voltage. • Units: Volts, V

CURRENT • Current - the measure of how many electrons per second are flowing through the wire is the amperage. • Units: amps • The number of electrons flowing per second.

current Electrical current is like the amount or volume of water flowing through the hose.

There are two types of current: AC – alternating current DC – direct current

RESISTANCE • Resistance - the tendency for a material to oppose the flow of electrons. • Different materials have different amounts of resistance to the flow of electrons. • Unit: ohm, R.

RESISTANCE EXAMPLES: • gold, silver, and copper have low resistance, which means that current can flow easily through these materials. • Glass, plastics, and wood have very high resistance, which means that current cannot pass through these materials easily. • Resistance

RESISTANCE • Thin wires provide more resistance than do thick wires. • Resistance in wires produces a loss of energy (usually in the form of heat), so materials with no resistance produce no energy loss when currents pass through them. • Resistance also depends on temperature, usually increasing as the temperature increases. •

ELECTRIC CURRENT

OHM’S LAW • In a material, the current (I) is directly proportional to the voltage (V) and inversely proportional to the resistance. • Ohm’s LAW OR

ANALOGY Water in a Hose DC in a Wire Electrical Units pressure voltage (V) Volts, V volume current (I) Amps, A friction resistance (R) Ohms, R Charge, Current, and Voltage review

PRACTICE What is the current produced with a 9 -volt battery through a resistance of 100 ohms? I = ? R = 100 ohms V = 9 volts

BATTERIES TWO TYPES: 1. Dry Cell – the electrolyte is not really dry; but is a paste. – Standard AA, C, D type batteries, electrolyte is a paste. The “+” terminal is carbon. 2. Wet Cell – the electrolyte is a liquid (car battery) – In a car battery, the electrolyte is sulfuric acid.

VOCABULARY 1. Dry Cell – a type of chemical cell, commonly used today, in the form of batteries, for many electrical appliances. It uses a paste electrolyte, with only enough moisture to allow current to flow. 2. Wet Cell – An electric battery is a device consisting of two or more electrochemical cells that convert stored chemical energy into electrical energy using a liquid electrolyte

BATTERIES Batteries have three parts. - A cathode (+) - An anode (-) - An electrolyte. The cathode (positive) and anode (negative) at either end of a traditional battery) are hooked up to an electrical circuit.

BATTERIES • The chemical reactions in the battery causes a build up of electrons at the anode. • This results in an electrical difference between the anode and the cathode - an unstable build-up of the electrons. • The electrons wants to rearrange themselves to get rid of this difference. They do this in a certain way. Electrons repel each other and try to go to a place with fewer electrons.

ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT • They provide a pathway for electrons to flow. Four Parts: 1. Energy Source 2. Load 3. Wires 4. Switch

ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT OPEN CIRCUITS – pathway is broken.

ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT CLOSED CIRCUITS – pathway is complete.

SERIES CIRCUIT • Provides only one path for the electrons to follow. 1. A break in the circuit stops the flow of electricity to all other parts of the circuit. 2. With multiple light bulbs (more resistance) the current reduces and the lights become dimmer. 3. Ammeters should be wired in series.

SERIES CIRCUIT RULES 1. The same current flows through each part of a series circuit. 2. The total resistance of a series circuit is equal to the sum of individual resistances.

a. What is the total voltage across the bulbs? 6 V b. What is the total resistance of the circuit? 3Ω c. What is the current in the circuit? 2 A d. What is the voltage drop across each light bulb? 2 V e. What happens to the brightness of each bulb in a series circuit as additional bulbs are added? Why?

PARALLEL CIRCUIT • The different parts of the circuit are on separate branches. • A break (like a burned out light bulb) in the circuit does not stop the flow to the remaining devices. • Multiple light bulbs will remain the same brightness since the resistance is not decreasing as it does in a series circuit. • Each pathway can be separately switched off without affecting the others.

PARALLEL CIRCUIT • Household circuits – Wired in parallel, with a standard of 120 volts. • Voltmeters are wired in parallel.

HOUSEHOLD CIRCUITS • Many appliances draw electricity from the same circuit. • If the wires get too hot due to too much electricity, a fuse can blow or circuit breaker can flip. • Circuit Breaker – a piece of metal bends when it gets hot and “flips” the breaker to the off position. • Fuse - a piece of metal melts when it gets hot and causes a break in the circuit.

PARALLEL CIRCUIT • The more paths the LESS the resistance. – Water example again: added pipes coming from a large tank will allow more water to flow out that a single pipe. – Therefore as resistance decreases, current increases; they are inversely proportional.

PARALLEL CIRCUIT RULES 1. Voltage is the same across each component of the parallel circuit. 2. The sum of the currents through each path is equal to the total current that flows from the source.

a. What is the voltage across each resistor? 12 V b. What is the current in each branch? 6 A and 4 A c. What is the total current provided by the battery? 10 A

CIRCUITS Series and Parallel Review Question: What is the major difference between a series circuit and a parallel circuit – in your own words – put in your notes.

SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMS • All circuit drawings need at least the following: – Power supply, wire, resistors, switches, other items include connectors, meters, etc. • There is a set of standard symbols used to represent these items in a diagram of the circuit.

SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMS

SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMS • Draw a parallel circuit. Include a power source, wires, several resistors (light bulbs) and a switch.

LIGHT BULB Electricity flows through the circuit. If the bulb is broken, so is the circuit.

TRANSPORTING ELECTRICITY A transformer is a device that increases of decreases alternating current generated by a power plant so it can enter homes safely.

VOCABULARY Lightning Rod - a metal rod or metallic object mounted on top of an elevated structure, such as a building, a ship, or even a tree, electrically bonded using a wire to interface with the through an electrode, engineered to protect the structure in the event of lightning strike.

ELECTRICAL POWER • The rate at which electrical energy is transferred by an electric circuit. • Use Joule’s Law: Power = current x voltage. • Unit: watt, W • A kilowatt hour is what the power company uses to determine how much electricity or energy you used. • Energy used = Power (k. W) x Time (hours). • E= P x t • To find cost, you would multiply the energy by the amount per kilowatt hour.

ELECTRICAL POWER PRACTICE 1. 105 V are used to power an appliance that needs 15. 0 amps. What is the power used? V = 105 V P = ? I = 15. 0 amp P = I x V = (15. 0 amp)(105 V) = 1575 W = 1. 575 k. W

ELECTRICAL POWER PRACTICE 2. How much energy is used when this appliance is used for 30. 0 days, 24 hrs a day? E = ? Time = 30 days x 24 hours/day = 720 hr P = 1. 575 k. W E = Power x time E = P x t = (1. 575 k. W)(720 hr) = 1134 k. W hour

ELECTRICAL POWER PRACTICE 3. If the power company charges 8¢/Kw-h, what is the cost of the energy above. Cost = Energy x price per k. W hr E = 1134 k. W hour Cost = ? Price = $0. 08/k. W hr Cost = E x price = (1134 k. W hr)($0. 08/k. W hr) = $90. 72
