Understanding Static Electricity and Circuits

1) The document provides an overview of key concepts in electrostatics and basic electric circuits. It defines terms like charge, voltage, current, resistance, and different types of circuits. 2) Key concepts explained include how static electricity is generated through friction, conduction, or induction; the difference between conductors and insulators; and Ohm's Law relating voltage, current, and resistance. 3) Electronic circuits are represented using schematics with standard symbols, and there are discussions of series and parallel circuits.

STATIC ELECTRICITY
Charge comes in two types,
positive and negative; like
charges repel and opposite

CONDUCTOR & INSULATORS


Conductor: Charge flows freely


an object with one type of charge
produces the same type of
charge on a conductor.

INDUCTION
When a charge (either + or –) is
brought near a neutral object, the
electrons and protons are pushed
in opposite directions.

ELECTRONIC CIRCUITS
● For electrons to flow
continuously, there must be a
complete circuit in which
electrons return to their source.

SERIES CIRCUIT
● is one with all the loads in a row.
Like links in a chain.
● only ONE path for the electricity

● Circuit components in series
