Direct Current and Alternating Current Currents in electrical circuits may be constant or may vary with time When currents vary with time they may be unidirectional or alternating When the current flowing in a conductor always flows in the same direction this is direct current (DC) When the direction of the current periodically changes this is alternating current (AC) Resistors, Capacitors and Inductors Resistors provide resistance they oppose the flow of electricity measured in Ohms () Capacitors provide capacitance they store energy in an electric field measured in Farads (F) Forumlae: Capacitors in Series: (1/CTOTAL) = (1/C1) + (1/C2) + (1/C3) Capacitors in parallel: CTOTAL = C1 + C2 + C3 ..... Inductors provide inductance they store energy in a magnetic field measured in Henry (H) Check for Understanding What is voltage? How is voltage generated? (3 ways) What is current? Resistance Resistance: the tendency for a material to oppose the flow of electrons Changes electrical energy into thermal energy and light Ex: lightbulb filament Resistance is measured in Ohms (Ω) What Affects Resistance? Household Circuits: Fuse: a small piece of metal that melts if the current becomes too high Circuit Breaker: contains a small piece of metal that bends when it gets hot bending causes a switch to flip and opens the circuit Ohm’s Law The current flowing in a conductor is directly proportional to the applied voltage V and inversely proportional to its resistance R V = IR I = V/R R = V/I Power Law Power is the measure of how much work can be done in a given amount of time. Did you know? 1. W = V x I 2. W = I2 x R ? 3. W = V2 / R ? Lets see!! Sinusoidal Quantities Length of time between corresponding points in successive cycles is the period T Number of cycles per second is the frequency f f = 1/T Circuit Symbols Key Points Let’s Compare Series and Parallel Circuits Series Circuits Parallel Circuits _______ path(s) for current _______ path(s) for current Current ________________ Current ________________ Voltage ________________ Break in circuit _______________________ Voltage ________________ Break in circuit _______________________ Adding resistance in parallel Adding resistance in series ______________________ _______________________ Let’s Compare Series and Parallel Circuits Series Circuits Parallel Circuits 1 path(s) for current multiple path(s) for current Current is the same at every Current can be different in each branch point Voltage drops at each resistor Voltage same across each resistance Break in circuit stops all current Break in circuit does not affect other bulbs Adding resistance in series Adding resistance in parallel decreases total current (dimmer light bulbs) increases total current Group 1: inside/outside micrometers Group 2: vernier callipers Group 3: dial gauges Group 4: depth gauges Group 5: tone generator
