Electric Charge
•Electric charge is a property of protons and electrons.
•Protons have a positive charge. Electrons have a negative charge.

Electric Charge•Two charges that are the same push away
from each other. Two charges that are different pull toward each other.
•If a proton and an electron come close together, they attract each other.
•Attraction (pull) and repulsion (push) between electric charges is known as interaction between charges. The interaction between charges is called electricity.

Electric Charge•This is different from the
interaction between magnetic poles, which is known as magnetism.
•The terms “positive” and “negative” were given to charges by Benjamin Franklin in the 1700s.

Electric Force•Electric force is the attraction or
repulsion between electric charges.
•A magnetic field surrounds a charged object. An electric field is a region around a charged object in which electric force occurs.
![Page 9: Electric Charge and Static Electricity](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061501/56814097550346895dac312d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Electric Force•Suppose one charged object is placed in
the electric field of a second charged object. The first charged object is either pushed or pulled -- repelled or attracted.
•The strength of an electric field depends on how far away the charged object is. The farther away a charged object is, the weaker the electric field is.
![Page 11: Electric Charge and Static Electricity](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061501/56814097550346895dac312d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The strength of an electric field is represented by how close the electric field lines are to each
other.
![Page 12: Electric Charge and Static Electricity](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061501/56814097550346895dac312d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Static Electricity•Most objects usually have no charge.
However, objects can become charged.
•If an object loses electrons, it has more protons than electrons. Therefore, it has a positive charge.
•If an object gains electrons, it has more electrons than protons. Therefore is has a negative charge.

Transferring Charge•An object becomes charged when
electrons move from one place to another place.
•Charging by friction is when electrons move from one uncharged object to another object by rubbing. For example, a girl charges by friction when she runs her socks on the carpet.
![Page 16: Electric Charge and Static Electricity](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061501/56814097550346895dac312d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Transferring Charge•Charging by conduction is when
electrons move from a charged object to another object by direct contact. You can charge yourself by conduction when you touch a charged object.
•Think: carpet > socks = friction
•Then: socks > feet = conduction
![Page 17: Electric Charge and Static Electricity](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061501/56814097550346895dac312d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Transferring Charge
•Charging by induction is when electrons move to one part of an object due to the electric field of another object. There is no touching in charging by induction.
![Page 18: Electric Charge and Static Electricity](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061501/56814097550346895dac312d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Transferring Charge
•You can find out if an object is charged by using an instrument called an electroscope.
![Page 19: Electric Charge and Static Electricity](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061501/56814097550346895dac312d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
When the object is uncharged, the leaves hang down, but if a charged object gets close, the leaves repel each other and
spread apart.
![Page 20: Electric Charge and Static Electricity](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061501/56814097550346895dac312d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Static Discharge•Charges may build up as static
electricity on an object. But the charges do not stay on that object forever.
•The loss of static electricity as charges move from one object to another is called static discharge.
![Page 21: Electric Charge and Static Electricity](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061501/56814097550346895dac312d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Static Discharge
•A static discharge often produces a spark. For example, there may be a tiny spark when you touch a metal doorknob. Lightning is another example of static discharge.
![Page 22: Electric Charge and Static Electricity](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061501/56814097550346895dac312d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Electric Current
![Page 23: Electric Charge and Static Electricity](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061501/56814097550346895dac312d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Flow of Electric Charges
• Electric current is the flow of electric charges through a material. The charges must flow continuously, or without stopping.
• The rate of electric current through a wire is how much charge passes a place in a certain amount of time (One coulomb per second = 1 amp).
• The unit used for the rate of electric current is the ampere. The name can be shortened to amp or A.
![Page 24: Electric Charge and Static Electricity](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061501/56814097550346895dac312d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Flow of Electric Charges
•A current needs a path to follow. An electric circuit is an unbroken path through which electric charges flow. An electric circuit is always a complete loop with no breaks in the loop.
•If an electric circuit is complete, charges can flow continuously. If an electric circuit is broken, charges will stop flowing.
![Page 25: Electric Charge and Static Electricity](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061501/56814097550346895dac312d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Conductors and Insulators•Any material that an electric charge can
go through easily is called a conductor. Metals are good conductors. Silver, copper, aluminum, and iron.
•In a conductor, atoms contain electrons that are bound loosely. These electrons, called conduction electrons, are able to move throughout the conductor.
![Page 27: Electric Charge and Static Electricity](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061501/56814097550346895dac312d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Conductors and Insulators•Any material that an electric charge
has a hard time going through is called an insulator. Rubber, glass, plastic, and wood.
•The rubber coating on an electric cord is an example of an insulator; allowing electrons to flow though the copper wiring inside, but preventing the electrons from flowing into your hand.
![Page 28: Electric Charge and Static Electricity](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061501/56814097550346895dac312d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Voltage•Charges need energy to flow through a
wire. The energy that makes charges flow is called electrical potential energy. A battery for example, creates an electrical potential energy in an electric circuit.
![Page 29: Electric Charge and Static Electricity](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061501/56814097550346895dac312d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Voltage•Voltage is the difference in electrical
potential energy between two places in a circuit. Another name for voltage is potential difference. The unit of measure of voltage is volt, which is abbreviated as V.
![Page 30: Electric Charge and Static Electricity](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061501/56814097550346895dac312d/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Voltage•An electric circuit needs a source of
energy to have voltage. A voltage source creates a potential difference, or voltage, in an electric circuit. A battery is an example of a voltage source. An electric generator is also a voltage source.
![Page 31: Electric Charge and Static Electricity](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061501/56814097550346895dac312d/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Resistance•Resistance is the measure of how
hard it is for charges to flow through a material. The unit for resistance is the ohm the symbol Ωstands for “ohms.”
•How much current there is through a circuit depends on how much resistance there is. The more resistance there is, the less current there will be.
![Page 32: Electric Charge and Static Electricity](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061501/56814097550346895dac312d/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Resistance•How much resistance there is in a wire
depends on these four factors:
- material the wire is made of
- length of the wire
- diameter of the wire
- temperature of the wire
![Page 33: Electric Charge and Static Electricity](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061501/56814097550346895dac312d/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Resistance•If an electric charge can flow through
one or more paths with varying resistances, it will flow through the path with the least resistance.
![Page 36: Electric Charge and Static Electricity](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061501/56814097550346895dac312d/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Bird on an Electric WireThe bird has more
resistance than the wire.

Ohm’s Law•Current, voltage, and resistance are
related to one another. The relationship among resistance, voltage, and current is summed up in Ohm’s Law.
![Page 39: Electric Charge and Static Electricity](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061501/56814097550346895dac312d/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Ohm’s Law• Ohm’s Law states that the resistance of most
conductors does not depend on the voltage across them.
• Changing the voltage in a circuit changes the current but will not change the resistance.
• Ohm concluded that conductors and most other devices have a constant resistance regardless of the applied voltage.
![Page 40: Electric Charge and Static Electricity](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061501/56814097550346895dac312d/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Ohm’s Law•The equation for Ohm’s Law is:
•The units in the equation are:
•Ohms (Ω) = Volts (V) ÷ Amps (A)
CurrentResistance =
Voltageor R=V/I
![Page 41: Electric Charge and Static Electricity](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061501/56814097550346895dac312d/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Ohm’s Law•You can rearrange Ohm’s Law to find voltage with this equation:
•Voltage = Current X Resistance
•or
•V=IR
![Page 42: Electric Charge and Static Electricity](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061501/56814097550346895dac312d/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Features of a Circuit•Circuits have devices that are run by
electrical energy.
•A circuit has a source of electrical energy.
•Electric circuits are connected by conducting wires.
![Page 45: Electric Charge and Static Electricity](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061501/56814097550346895dac312d/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Features of a Circuit•Radios, appliances, and light bulbs are
examples of electrical devices. All these devices resist the flow of electrical energy. As a result, electrical devices are known as resistors.
![Page 46: Electric Charge and Static Electricity](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061501/56814097550346895dac312d/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Features of a Circuit•Sources of electrical energy in a circuit
include batteries, generators, and electric power plants. When you plug a radio into a wall socket, the source of electrical energy is your local electric plant.
![Page 47: Electric Charge and Static Electricity](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061501/56814097550346895dac312d/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Features of a Circuit•Conducting wires complete the path of
an electric circuit. Wires allow charges to flow from the energy source to the electric device and back to the energy source.
![Page 48: Electric Charge and Static Electricity](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061501/56814097550346895dac312d/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Features of a Circuit•Often, a switch is placed in an electric
circuit. With a switch, you can turn a device on or off by opening or closing the circuit.

Series Circuits•A series circuit has all the parts of the
circuit connected on one path.
•An example of a series circuit is a circuit with a battery and two light bulbs connected by a single wire.
![Page 54: Electric Charge and Static Electricity](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061501/56814097550346895dac312d/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
![Page 55: Electric Charge and Static Electricity](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061501/56814097550346895dac312d/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Series Circuits•Suppose a series circuit has two light
bulbs. If one burns out, the second bulb goes out because the circuit is broken when the first bulb burns out.
![Page 56: Electric Charge and Static Electricity](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061501/56814097550346895dac312d/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Series Circuits•If you add resistors to a series circuit,
the resistance of the circuit increases.
•This can be shown as:
•RTotal=R1+R2+R3...
•Remember, Resistance is measured in Ohms and uses the symbol Ω.
![Page 57: Electric Charge and Static Electricity](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061501/56814097550346895dac312d/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Series Circuits• In a series circuit, the current throughout the
circuit is constant.
• This can be shown as:
• ITotal = I1 = I2 = I3...
• Where current is represented by the letter I in the equation, but is measured using the units amperes or amps, and uses the units A.
![Page 58: Electric Charge and Static Electricity](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061501/56814097550346895dac312d/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Series Circuits•Also, in a series circuit, as bulbs are
added in line, all of the bulbs become dimmer.
•Each bulb adds more resistance to the circuit, therefore, for a constant voltage, when resistance increases, current decreases.
![Page 59: Electric Charge and Static Electricity](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061501/56814097550346895dac312d/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)

Series Circuits•An ammeter is an instrument used to
measure current.
![Page 61: Electric Charge and Static Electricity](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061501/56814097550346895dac312d/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Parallel Circuits•A parallel circuit has more than one
path for current to take. There are separate branches in a parallel circuit. Each resistor may be on its own branch.
![Page 62: Electric Charge and Static Electricity](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061501/56814097550346895dac312d/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
![Page 63: Electric Charge and Static Electricity](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061501/56814097550346895dac312d/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Parallel Circuits•Suppose a parallel circuit has two light
bulbs, each on its own branch. If one light bulb burns out, the other light bulb will stay lit. The second bulb stays lit because it is on its own branch.
![Page 64: Electric Charge and Static Electricity](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061501/56814097550346895dac312d/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Parallel Circuits•Because the voltage source (battery)
provides constant voltage, the only factors that can change in a circuit are resistance and current.
![Page 65: Electric Charge and Static Electricity](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061501/56814097550346895dac312d/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Parallel Circuits•In a parallel circuit, when more
branches are added, the overall resistance decreases, meaning that the current will increase.
•Think blowing through one straw versus blowing through 2 straws. Two straws allow twice as much air through, but your lungs are only capable of blowing so much at a time.
![Page 66: Electric Charge and Static Electricity](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061501/56814097550346895dac312d/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Parallel Circuits• The major disadvantage of a parallel circuit is
that as you add more things in parallel, the current draw on the source goes up with each new branch. If the source cannot supply the current that is demanded by the multiple resistors of the circuit, the voltage will (must!) decrease. This could be bad, as some devices, notably motors, do not like to run at low voltage and can actually be damaged if voltage decreases too much.
![Page 67: Electric Charge and Static Electricity](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061501/56814097550346895dac312d/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)

Parallel Circuits•A voltmeter is a device used to measure voltage, or electrical potential energy difference.
![Page 69: Electric Charge and Static Electricity](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061501/56814097550346895dac312d/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
