Electricity What is electricity? •The flow of charge •Mostly, we focus on the flow of electrons in “normal” matter •With static electricity, we get a good “zap” •But we cannot stand around all day with Fluffy trying to keep the lights on Sources of electric charges •Chemical •Batteries •Mechanical •Generators •Hydro, thermal, nuclear (thermal) •Solar •Solar cells •In every case, the source provides electrons with a “push” that makes it run around in a path (“circuit”) What is “voltage”? •Batteries •1.5V •6V •12V •AC electricity •120V •240V •7500V •115000V •Voltage is the “push” electrons have in a circuit What is a circuit? A circuit has three elements A conductor A potential difference or “voltage” A closed loop An electric circuit is composed of what 3 elements? • Conductor, potential difference, closed loop The “push” is called voltage, and is measured in Volts. The flow of electrons is called current, and is measured in Amperes or Amps. The flow of electrons is hindered by resistance, measured in Ohms. Ohm’s Law Mnemonic Ohm’s Law: Ohm's Law …says that, for many materials under a wide range of conditions, the voltage, V, and current, I, are linearly related, which implies resistance, R, is independent of V and I. When does it not apply? (Most important case) •https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4FpbaMW5sk •https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4jzgqZu-4s Questions When a battery is connected to a complete circuit, charges flow in the circuit almost simultaneously. Why? Examples How does this work? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dLTEOM3qQc& feature=related Electrical Power P= IV “Poison Ivy” Electrical Energy Hand Generator Resistance and Ohm’s Law Resistance is the impedance to the flow of charge Resistance is defined as the ratio of potential difference to current R = V/I Unit is the Ohm, Ω A device is said to obey Ohm’s Law of its resistance is independent of the Voltage Depends on four factors of a material Find Resistance R ∞ Temp R ∞ RHO (ρ) resitivity R ∞ Length R ∞ A-1 (cross-sectional Area) Low resistance Short Fat cold High Resistance Long Thin Hot Diagramming circuits Series Diagram Parallel Circuit More than one path for the flow of charge More room for the flow of charge so Resistance goes down Voltage must stay the same since all charges have the same drop
