What is
Electricity?
Electricity is used to
operate your cell
phone, power trains
and ships, run your
refrigerator, and power
motors in machines like
food processors.
Electric energy must be
changed to other forms
of energy such as heat,
light or mechanical in
order to be useful.

• Everything we see is made up of tiny little
parts called atoms. The atoms are made of
even smaller parts called protons, electrons
and neutrons.
• Sometimes electrons can be moved away from
their atoms.
• As we have seen in our study during the
first quarter, matter is composed of
atoms, which are composed of protons
(p+), neutrons (n0),
and electrons (e-).
• The protons are positively charged and are
found “locked” in the nucleus with the
neutrons.
• The electrons are negatively charged and are
moving around in the electron clouds,
and are not “locked”
into position.
• Neutrons have no charge.

to attract.
Example
of Static
Electricity
When you unexpectedly
brushed your skin against
the surface of the metal,
the electrons from the
metallic surface
transferred to your skin.
Static Electricity is not
always weak all the time.
Lightning is a very powerful
static electricity.
• If you have ever experienced the discharge of
static electricity as you walk around on carpet
in your socked feet and then get shocked
when you touch something, then you know
that charge can be transferred.
• Anytime objects touch each other, there is a
transfer of electrons, as the electrons in the
outer energy levels of an atom, are held less
tightly, and can be torn away.
• If there are enough extra electrons accumulating,
then the object starts to get “charged” up and has
a noticeable difference in charge.
 
• If the charge dissipates quickly, no accumulation
can occur.
How Electric Current is Produced
• The current is defined as the rate of charge
movement or the movement of electrons
through an area over a given amount of time.
• Electric current is the flow of electrons
through a complete circuit of conductors. It is
measured in amperes.
• Current is used to power everything from our
lights to our trains.
• The faster the movement of electrons the
higher the current.
• Sometimes the flow of electrons is slowed down
by any number of factors. These factors include:
1. Materials – what the electrons are moving through

2. Temperature – how warm or cold the materials are

3. Length – how far the electrons need to move

4. Cross section – how wide the area is the electrons are


trying to move through
Current Electricity
• Unlike static electricity, the electrons in
current electricity are continuous and
flowing.
• Produces an electric current that comes
from a source that flows through
conduction along a pathway to a device.
• Can be carried over long distances

Answer the
Inquiry Lab on
page 243
In order for a current to flow, the
circuit must be closed; in other
words, there must be an
uninterrupted path from the
power source, through the circuit,
then back to the power source.
The Uninterrupted Path
ELECTRIC CIRCUIT

If one from the following is removed


then the device will not work.
Will the electricity from a
battery run out after some use?

• As the electrons flow, some of them are changed into heat


and light energy.
• The longer you use heat and light, the more electron will be
taken away from the battery.
Electricity can be considered as
electrons in motion

Two Types of Circuits

Parallel Circuit Series Circuit


Series Circuit
If one bulb is
removed, the series
circuit will not work.
Series Circuits
1. Series Circuits - Circuit (or portion of) in which
there is a single conducting path without
junctions for electricity to follow
• All bulbs / resistors / components in series will
have the same current. This is because the
current can only flow as fast as the slowest
(most resistant) component will allow.
• Series circuits require all elements to conduct,
no broken parts, or the current stops.
• Below is a list of advantages and
disadvantages of series circuits (notice some
may be both)

• Advantage of series circuits:


1. Good for regulating current (all parts have
same current)
2. Good for reducing current on individual
parts
3. Current stops if a component breaks
• Disadvantages of series circuits:
1. All parts have same current
2. If one part breaks, the whole circuits fails
Parallel Circuit
If one bulb is
removed, the parallel
circuit will still work.
Parallel Circuits
2. Parallel Circuits - Circuit (or part of) where
components are connected across common
points and provides separate conducting paths
for electricity to follow
• Below is a list of advantages and disadvantages of parallel circuits (notice
some may be both)
 
• Advantages of parallel:
1. Parallel circuits do not require all elements to conduct
2. One part can malfunction and the rest will continue to work
3. Potential difference does not change for all components when
one component fails

 Allows for standardization of products


 Allows manufacturers to regulate current through a product by resistors
 Home wired in parallel
 
• Disadvantages of parallel:
 
1. Current will change if one component fails
2. Current different in all components
