10 Electric current is a flow of negatively charged particles (i.e. electrons). Electric Current + - e - Note that electrons go from negative to positive By definition, current is the rate of flow of charge and it has the same value at any point in this circuit e -
11 Charge (Q) As we said, electricity is when electrons move around a circuit and carry energy with them. Each electron has a negative CHARGE. Charge is measured in Coulombs (C). We can work out how much charge flows in a circuit using the equation: Charge = current x time (in C) (in A) (in s) Q You need to learn this equation!! I T
12 Example questions Charge (C) Current (A) Time (s) ) A circuit is switched on for 30s with a current of 3A. How much charge flowed? 2) During electrolysis 6A was passed through some copper chloride and a charge of 1200C flowed. How long was the experiment on for? 3) A bed lamp is switched on for 10 minutes. It works on a current of 0.5A. How much charge flowed?
13 Example questions Charge (C) Current (A) Time (s) ) A circuit is switched on for 30s with a current of 3A. How much charge flowed? 2) During electrolysis 6A was passed through some copper chloride and a charge of 1200C flowed. How long was the experiment on for? 3) A bed lamp is switched on for 10 minutes. It works on a current of 0.5A. How much charge flowed? 90C 200s 300C
14 Basic ideas Electric current is when electrons start to flow around a circuit. We use an to measure it and it is measured in, named after Andre Ampere. Potential difference (also called ) is how big the push on the electrons is. We use a to measure it and it is measured in, a unit named after Alessandro Volta. Resistance is anything that resists an electric current. It is measured in, named after Georg Ohm. Words: volts, amps, ohms, voltage, ammeter, voltmeter
15 More basic ideas If a battery is added the current will because there is a greater on the electrons If a bulb is added the current will because there is greater in the circuit
16 Resistance Resistance is anything that will RESIST a current. It is measured in Ohms, a unit named after me. The resistance of a component can be calculated using Ohm s Law: Georg Simon Ohm Resistance = Voltage (in V) (in ) Current (in A) You need to learn this equation!! I V R
17 Resistance Resistance is anything that opposes an electric current. Resistance (Ohms, ) = Potential Difference (volts, V) Current (amps, A) What is the resistance of the following: 1) A bulb with a voltage of 3V and a current of 1A. 2) A resistor with a voltage of 12V and a current of 3A 3) A diode with a voltage of 240V and a current of 40A 4) A thermistor with a current of 0.5A and a voltage of 10V
18 Understanding Resistance What happens inside a conducting material? The following model of a metal wire could help: Electrons Ions At normal temperatures, with no current flowing, electrons hurtle around continuously. What happens if you connect a battery?
19 Using a battery to push a current Apply a voltage: Negative Electrons Ions Positive This time we can see that the electrons are accelerated from negative to positive. This is an electric current and happens because the voltage pushes the electrons.
20 Required Practical 6 Factors affecting Resistance Task: Investigate how these factors affect resistance: 1) The length of the wire 2) The size (cross sectional area) of the wire 3) The material the wire is made of ( resistivity ) 1) Increase length 2) Increase area 3) Decrease resistivity
21 Resistors, bulbs and diodes
22 Required Practical 7 I-V graphs Voltage on powerpack/v Current/A Voltage/V

Bulb Current increases in proportion to, provided the temperature doesn t change As voltage increases the bulb gets and increases A diode only lets current go in one it has very resistance in the other direction Words resistance, high, voltage, hotter, direction
24 LDRs and Thermistors
25 Two simple components: 1) Light dependant resistor resistance DECREASES when light intensity INCREASES Resistance 2) Thermistor resistance DECREASES when temperature INCREASES Resistance Amount of light Temperature
26 Using Thermistors in circuits A V 1) What will happen to the resistance of the thermistor when it gets hotter? 2) How will this affect the brightness of the bulb and the reading on the ammeter?
27 Using LDRs in circuits A V Here s a circuit that has been left in a room. Will the lamp come on when the room is light or dark? Explain your answer.

43 Resistors in Series and Parallel 3A 6V 12V In SERIES, the total resistance is given by the sum of the individual resistances: R Total = R 1 + R 2 What is the total resistance in this circuit? 3A In PARALLEL the total resistance is less than the resistance of the individual resistors as the current has more routes to flow through. What is the highest value the resistance of this circuit could be?
44 Equivalent Resistance What is the resistance of this resistor? If all three resistors are the same, what is the total resistance? 9V 3A Equivalent resistance is the idea of replacing all of the resistors in a circuit with one resistor of the same value. The above circuit becomes this: 9Ω

62 The National Grid Electricity reaches our homes from power stations through the National Grid, a system of power cables and transformers connecting us to power stations: Power station Step up transformer Step down transformer Homes If electricity companies transmitted electricity at 240 volts through overhead power lines there would be too much loss by the time electricity reaches our homes. This is because the current is. To overcome this they use devices called transformers to step up the voltage onto the power lines. They then the voltage at the end of the power lines before it reaches our homes. This way the voltage is and the current and power loss are both. Words step down, high, power, low, high
63 2.5 Static Electricity (Physics Only)
64 Static Electricity Static electricity is when charge builds up on an object and then stays static. How the charge builds up depends on what materials are used:
65 Short Static Experiments Try the following quick static electricity experiments: 1) Rubbing a balloon on your jumper and sticking it to the wall 2) Charging a plastic rod by rubbing it with a cloth and then holding it near the water from a smooth-running tap 3) Charging a plastic rod and trying to pick up small pieces of paper (or someone else s hair!) with it 4) Rubbing a balloon on someone else s head you might want to ask their permission first Can you explain what you saw in each of these experiments?
