1 Circuits Ch. 35 in your text book Objectives Students will be able to: 1) Draw schematic symbols for electrical circuit components 2) Calculate the equivalent resistance for a series circuit 3) Calculate the equivalent resistance for a parallel circuit

2 Electrical Schematic Symbols Wire Capacitor Resistor + - Battery Switch

3 Circuits Circuit - path or trip around something In order for a circuit to be created, electrons must have a complete path that lets them return to their starting point. What happens when a water pipe is disconnected or if an oil pipe gets broken? What happens if there is an unattached wire in a circuit? Unlike fluids, electrons will only flow if they have a complete loop in which to travel

4 Circuits Open Circuit circuit that does not make a complete loop + - Closed Circuit circuit that does make a complete loop Short circuit a circuit that has an unintended path through which all the current flows short

5 Example: Circuits
