 ELECTRICITY: RELATIONSHIP
Lesson 1 BETWEEN CURRENT AND VOLTAGE

Electricity plays an essential role in how your home operates. Whether watching TV,
powering heating and cooling systems or charging a cell phone, we rely on our home‟s electrical
system to provide us with power when and where we need it.
By understanding the basics of how electricity is distributed around your home, you can
keep this important system properly maintained and in safe working condition.
You have learned a lot about electricity from Grade 3 to Grade 7. You have learned about its
sources and uses; what materials make good conductors of electricity; what makes up an electric
circuit; and how electrical energy is transferred or transformed into other forms of energy.
In this module, you will learn more about electricity. There are three quantities that you
should be familiar within the study of electricity. These are electric current, voltage, and resistance.
You will use the relationships among these quantities in learning about circuit connections. You will
also learn that some of the safety precautions you have been warned about can be explained by the
relationships among voltage, current, and resistance.

What’s In

Difference among current, voltage and resistance

The concepts of electricity can be traced back from the nature and structure of atoms.
Atomic components: neutrons, protons and electrons; specifically the negatively charged electrons
play a vital role in the electrical nature of matter.
Early understanding of the circuit connections which is composed of battery (source of
energy), load (consumes / uses energy provided by the battery), switch (turns the circuit on and off)
and connecting wires (provide a path for the charges to flow). The arrangement of these
components completes a simple circuit. Electric charges, known as current, are pushed through a
wire when energy is provided by a voltage source battery or dry cells). This amount of charges that
pass a point in a circuit per unit of time is the magnitude of electric current. Thus, electric current,
I is equal to the rate at which electric charges move. Hence:

where: q = amount of charges in coulombs

q
I = t= time in seconds
I=current in ampere
t

The unit ampere (A) is named after the French Physicist, Andre Marie Ampere who
contributed in the field of electricity and magnetism. An instrument which is used to measure its
magnitude is the ammeter. Figure 1 shows an ammeter:

This electrical device is connected in a circuit as shown below; with its positive terminal is
connected to the positive terminal of the voltage source, while its negative terminal is connected to
the negative terminal to the negative terminal of the energy source (Figure 2):

Figure 2 Ammeter connected in a circuit

https://itsi.intelligentpractice.co.za/read/science

Current or electric charges flow through the wires with the help of a voltage source. Dry cells
or batteries be it dry or wet cells convert chemical energy to electrical energy to perform the work to
push charges in mobile through wires. These batteries are used in various electrical loads (flashlight
bulbs, remote control and many others)
Dry cells provide the voltage source in a circuit. Its symbol and unit are both represented by
uppercase V. Voltmeter measures its magnitude. As shown in the following figure, the negative
terminal of the voltmeter is connected to the negative terminal of the energy source. Likewise, its
positive terminal is connected to the positive of the voltage source. Below is a voltmeter.

 What’s New

Resistance
Electrical quantities are of many, previously mentioned above were current and
voltage. Somehow, these two quantities are affected by other electrical quantities.
Magnitude of these may increase or decrease depending on the amount of the other
quantity.

What is It

Resistance (also known as ohmic resistance or electrical resistance) is a measure

of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit. Resistance is measured in ohms,
symbolized by the Greek letter omega (Ω), named after George Simon Ohm.
The larger resistance, the greater the barrier against the flow of current. When the
potential difference is applied to a conductor, the current starts flowing, or the free electrons
start moving. While moving, the free electrons collide with the atoms and molecules of the
conductor.
Due to collision or obstruction, the rate of flow of electrons or electric current is
restricted. Hence, we can say that there is some opposition to the flow of electrons or
current. Thus, this opposition offered by a substance to the flow of electric current is called
resistance.
The resistance of conducting material is found to be directly proportional to the
length of the material, inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area of the material,
depends on the nature of the material and it depends on the temperature.

How is current affected by the resistance of the load in a circuit? Do activity 2 to find
out.

What’s More

Lesson 2 OHM’S LAW

You have discovered that voltage and resistance both have an effect on the current flowing
in a circuit. Other factors being constant, an increase in voltage results in an increase in current. On
the other hand, an increase in resistance results in a decrease in current.

In 1826 Georg Ohm discovered this relationship and developed a mathematical law of
electric current. This is now known as Ohm's Law.

One way Ohm's Law can be stated is: "a current flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to
the voltage, given the temperature of the conductor remains constant".

Their relationship is illustrated in the following:

10
Three Relationships

By simple transformation of formulae, two other equations can be

written:
R = V/I and I = V/R.

Putting these into words Ohm's Law states that:

1. Voltage equals resistance multiplied by current

2. Resistance equals voltage divided by current
3. Current equals voltage divided by resistance

Ohm's Law Examples

1.) A 3-V potential difference is applied across a 6 Ω resistor. What is the current that flows into the
resistor?

Solution: Ohm's law states the potential difference across a resistor is resistance times the
current so we get

2.) An electronic device has a resistance of 20 ohms and a current of 15 A. What is the voltage
across the device?
Solution: resistance, current, and voltage are related together by Ohm's law as V=IR. Thus, the
voltage of the device is obtained as

3.) A current of 0.2 A passes through a 1.4kΩ resistor. What is the voltage across it?

Solution: using Ohm's law, V=I RV=IR, we have

 Activity 3
Ohm's Law: Practice Problems

Let us check your comprehension by solving the following exercises:

PROBLEM SOLUTION

1. An alarm clock draws 0.5 A current when

connected to a 120 V circuit. Find its
resistance.

2. A sub-woofer needs a household voltage

of 110 V to push a current of 5.5 A
through its coil. What is the resistance of
the sub-woofer?

3. An electric heater has a coiled metal wire

which draws a current of 100 A. The
resistance of the wire is 1.1 ohms.
Calculate the voltage that must be
established to it.

Lesson 3 SERIES AND PARALLEL CONNECTIONS

Electrical components such as bulb, a connecting wire, an energy source when connected
properly allow electrons to flow. The net flow of electrons in such a connection is called electricity.
When a bulb is connected through a circuit, you will see the bulb shine bright if connected to a fully
charged dry cell. The brightness of the bulb shows that there is a net flow of electrons. Depending
on how the connection is done, the brightness and the net flow of electricity in the circuit can be
affected.
The two basic ways to connect electrical components are the series connection or parallel
connection. But most commonly, they are combined.
In a series circuit, all components are connected end-to-end, forming a single path for
current flow. In a parallel circuit, all components are connected across each other, forming exactly
two sets of electrically common points.

Electrical Safety Devices

Many of the energy services around the house use electricity. It is extremely important to
have various safety devices to protect from fire and electrocution.

Circuit breakers
Circuit breakers are electrical safety devices that protect electric circuits from overload
electric current conditions. They do the same job as fuses but are not destroyed when activated.
During overload conditions a circuit breaker will open the circuit to prevent overload, and potential
damage, like fires. Circuit breakers contain a switch to return to the closed position after they have
been flipped.

Fuse
A fuse is an electrical safety device that protects an electric circuit from excessive electric
current. Fuses are destroyed during overload conditions. When reasonable to do so (and
economically sensible), circuit breakers are used instead because they are not destroyed during
overload conditions. It's cheaper to install fuses than circuit breakers, but since fuses need to be
replaced and circuit breakers don't, fuses have a higher operational cost.
Fuses are designed to allow current through the circuit, but in the event that the current
exceeds some maximum value it will burn out the wire so that there is no longer a circuit. The
current that will cause a fuse to blow is called the current rating. Fuses also have a voltage rating;
this is the maximum voltage difference that the fuse can block. Once a circuit is open (broken), an
applied voltage exists at the ends of the fuse, and if this voltage exceeds the voltage rating of the
fuse, the air in the fuse may ionize and start conducting again, therefore leaving the circuit without a
safety system.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters

Ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI‟s) are built to detect any anomaly within the electric
system and react in rapid time to cut off the power. A GFCI works by comparing the output current
on the neutral side to the input current on the hot side for any leaks (that could be caused by human
interference). They are designed to detect even the smallest difference, even as low as 4 milliamps.
When detecting an anomaly, the GFCI will trip or interrupt the circuit within 10 milliseconds, cutting
off the power and preventing a tragedy from occurring. The GFCI does not need to be replaced
after every electric fault.

Tamper Proof Receptacles

This device is aimed at parents of toddlers or young children that will become curious to
those „weird holes in the wall‟. A tamper-proof receptacle (or tamper-proof outlet) prohibits an
electric current from flowing through an electrical wall outlet unless all slots are activated
simultaneously. For young children who might be wandering around the home with a fork or hairpin,
they will be unable to shock themselves by inserting it into a slot.

Surge Protectors
As the name suggests these electrical safety devices protect your home and appliances
against sudden spikes in electrical current.

 What I Have Learned

1. Charges can flow continuously in a complete circuit. The flow of charges

known as current can be affected by voltage and resistance. Using Ohm‟s
Law, the relationship can be illustrated. It (Ohm‟s Law) states that the
current is directly related to voltage and inversely related to resistance
2. A series circuit is a circuit in which two components share a common node
and the same current flows through them. However, in a parallel circuit,
components share two common nodes.
3. Electrical connections are protected by using safety devices such as fuses
and circuit breakers. Such devices prevent the circuit from overloading
and short circuits, the most usual cause of fire in homes.
