Circuit –
This is where electrons are moving in a closed and continuous pathway.
There are 3 components to a circuit:
1.Source of electrons
2.Pathway through which to travel
3.Source of energy “push” or “pressure” to move electrons

Series Circuits
• The electricity in this type of circuit only has ONE PATH to follow.
• If the circuit is interrupted, the flow of electricity will STOP.
![Page 10: Chapter 11.3 Electric Current upload/1220_A006N.jpg](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649f4a5503460f94c6c63e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Types of Circuits
Series – resistors lie along a single pathway in the circuit. Amount of current is the same anywhere in the circuit. (same amount of current to do work; work done at the resistors) Resistance is additive. All resistors are affected.

Req = R1 + R2 + R3 etc….. Req – resistance equivalent
If resistors are added, all lights would get dimmer.
If resistors were taken away all lights would get brighter.
What would happen if 1 light burnt out? Hint: Each resistor acts like a switch

Parallel Circuit
![Page 12: Chapter 11.3 Electric Current upload/1220_A006N.jpg](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649f4a5503460f94c6c63e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Parallel Circuits
• The flow of electricity has MORE THAN ONE path to follow.
• If the flow of electricity is disrupted, the electricity may be able to find another pathway
![Page 13: Chapter 11.3 Electric Current upload/1220_A006N.jpg](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649f4a5503460f94c6c63e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Types of Circuits
Parallel- current flows through many pathways & resistors lie on different pathways. Each pathway only draws the current it needs, the current is split, but the voltage is the same through out.

Sources of energy for electrical current
•Electrochemical Cells – aka “Batteries”
Chemical reactions can be transformed into electrical energy
Chemical Energy Electrical Energy

Wet Cells e.g. car battery
Electrodes – plates made out of: lead (Negative electrode) and
lead oxide (Positive electrode)
Liquid Conductor (Electrolyte Solution) Electrodes are immersed in electrolyte Sulfuric Acid.

Chemical reaction between lead, lead oxide, and sulfuric acid
release e-s
www.tiscali.co.uk/.../ images/c00011.jpg
Electrons move from negative lead electrode to positive lead oxide electrode
through the sulfuric acid electrolyte

Dry Cells - similar to wet cells, but electrolyte is “Dry” (not water)
e.g. Zinc electrode
Carbon electrode
Ammonium chloride electrolyte
Wires are connected to electrodes to conduct electrons “from” and “back to”
the battery.

Types of Current
DC – Direct Current, electrons flow in one direction
AC – Alternating Current, electrons flow in one direction first, then in the opposite direction
American homes use AC electricity that changes directions
120 times per second
![Page 19: Chapter 11.3 Electric Current upload/1220_A006N.jpg](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649f4a5503460f94c6c63e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Current – rate at which electric charge flows through the wire.
Measured by counting the number of electrons passing by a specific point in the circuit in one second.
Current Symbol - Measured in amperes (amps) Amperes Symbol - A
![Page 20: Chapter 11.3 Electric Current upload/1220_A006N.jpg](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649f4a5503460f94c6c63e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Voltage – amount of electric energy available by potential difference to move electrons.
More Voltage = More Work
Remember (w = f d)
Voltage Symbol - V
Measured in volts - V
![Page 21: Chapter 11.3 Electric Current upload/1220_A006N.jpg](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649f4a5503460f94c6c63e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Resistance – force opposing the flow of electrons in the current
Good conductors = low resistance
Poor conductors = high resistance
Resistance
Long wires > Short wires
Thin wires > Thick wires
Hot wires > Cool wires
> Means greater
than

Power Equation
• P = I × V
• Power (watts) = current (A) x voltage (V)
• Watts is the information that you typically associate with a light bulb
![Page 24: Chapter 11.3 Electric Current upload/1220_A006N.jpg](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649f4a5503460f94c6c63e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Ohm’s Law
I = V/R
V = R
R = V /
I = current
V= voltage
R= resistance
![Page 25: Chapter 11.3 Electric Current upload/1220_A006N.jpg](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649f4a5503460f94c6c63e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Remember Ohm’s Law V = IR
For a series circuit, since the current is the same throughout the circuit,
then:
V = V1 + V2 + V3 + etc….
V = IR1 + IR2 + IR3 + etc..
V = IReq
Req = R1 + R2 + R3 + etc…
(Req = Resistance equivalent)
