Electric Circuits

•Conductor forms closed loop from/to battery•Charges lose PE

Page 8: Current Electricity. Why did the electron cross the road? Or, why do electrons move in the wire when terminals are connected?

Potential Difference (voltage)

•Change in PE as charge moves in circuit

•Variable - V•Unit – volt

Page 9: Current Electricity. Why did the electron cross the road? Or, why do electrons move in the wire when terminals are connected?

Current

•Rate charges move•Variable - I•Unit – Amp (A)

Page 10: Current Electricity. Why did the electron cross the road? Or, why do electrons move in the wire when terminals are connected?

Resistance

•Caused by internal friction

•Variable – R•Unit -

Page 11: Current Electricity. Why did the electron cross the road? Or, why do electrons move in the wire when terminals are connected?

Example

•60 W bulb•100 W bulb

•Which has more resistance?

Page 12: Current Electricity. Why did the electron cross the road? Or, why do electrons move in the wire when terminals are connected?

Which wire has greater resistance?

•Longer vs. shorter

•Thicker vs. thinner
