Title: Explain briefly where electricity comes from.


1
S-66 Students will investigate the properties of
electricity and magnetism?
  • Explain briefly where electricity comes from.

2
Chapter 20 Electricity
  • SPS10 Students will investigate the properties of
    electricity and magnetism.
  • Investigate static electricity in terms of
    friction, induction, conduction
  • Explain the flow of electrons in terms of
  • -alternating and direct current
  • -the relationship among voltage, resistance, and
    current
  • -simple series and parallel circuits

3
20.1 Electric Charge and Static Electricity
  • What produces a net electric charge?
  • What determines whether an electric force is
    attractive or repulsive?
  • What determines the strength of an electric
    field.
  • What are three ways in which charge is
    transferred.
  • How does static discharge occur?

4
20.1 Charge and Statics What produces a net
electric charge?
  • Electric Charge a property that causes protons
    and electrons to attract or repel each other
  • Two types
  • Positive - protons
  • Negative electrons
  • An excess or shortage of electrons causes atoms
    to be charged
  • That causes objects to be charged

5
20.1 Charge and Statics What determines whether
an electric force is attractive or repulsive?
  • Electric Force force of attraction or
    repulsion between electrically charged
    objects
  • Like charges repel (positve-positive,
    or negative-negative)
  • Opposite charges attract
    (negative-positive)

6
20.1 Charge and Statics What determines the
strength of an electric field?
  • Electric Field the space around a charged
    particle where it will push or pull another
    charge
  • Depends on
  • Amount of charge
  • Distance from the charge
  • Drops off rapidly (square of the
    distance)

7
20.1 Charge and Statics What are the three ways
in which charge is transfered?
  • Static Electricity charges that are not moving
  • Law of conservation of charge the total amount
    of charge stays the same
  • Remember that charge is caused by
    protons and electrons

8
20.1 Charge and Statics What are the three ways
in which charge is transfered?
  • There are three ways that charge is transffered
  • Friction
  • Two uncharge objects rub against each other
  • Electrons are pulled off one object and placed on
    the other
  • Contact
  • A charged object comes in contact with an
    uncharged object
  • The charged object loses charge until they both
    have the same charge

9
20.1 Charge and Statics What are the three ways
in which charge is transfered?
  • There are three ways that charge is transffered
  • Induction
  • Electrons in an object are attracted or
    repelled by a charge
  • This causes a temporary charge in a
    neutral object

10
S-67 Students will investigate the properties of
electricity and magnetism?
  • What are the two types of charges?
  • What are the two basic charged particles?
  • How does a charge form?

11
20.1 Charge and Statics How does static discharge
occur?
  • Electrons will flow if there is a conducting
    pathway
  • Static discharge when a pathway between charged
    objects is formed
  • Shocking yourself on a doorknob
  • Lighting bolt

12
20.2 Electric Current and Ohms Law
  • What are the two types of current?
  • What are some examples of conductors and
    insulators?
  • What factors affect electrical resistance?
  • What causes and electric current?
  • How are voltage, current, and resistance related?

13
20.2 Current and Ohms Law What are the two types
of current?
  • Electric Current the flow of charge
  • Two types
  • Direct Current
  • Flows in only one direction
  • Electricity from batteries
  • Alternating current
  • Changes direction in a regular pattern
  • Has frequency (usually 60 Hz)
  • Household electricity

14
20.2 Current and Ohms Law What are some examples
of conductors and insulators?
  • Electrical conductor material that charge flows
    through easily
  • Metals
  • Graphite
  • Salt solutions
  • Electrical insulator material that charge does
    not flow through easily
  • Plastics
  • Rubber

15
20.2 Current and Ohms Law What factors affect
electrical resistance?
  • Resistance opposition to the flow of charge
  • Resistors use up the energy in electricity
  • Measured in Ohm (W)
  • Three factors affect resistance
  • Thickness thicker objects have less resistance
  • Lenth longer objects have more resistance
  • Temperature resistance increases with
    temperature

16
20.2 Current and Ohms Law What causes an
electric current?
  • Voltage (Potential Difference) difference in
    potential energy between two points
  • Units are volts (V)
  • Produced by sources of electric energy
  • A potential difference placed across a loop of
    conductor will result in a current
  • Current is measured in Amperes or Amps (A)

17
20.2 Current and Ohms Law How are voltage,
current, and resistance related?
  • Ohms Law current is equal to potential divided
    by resistance
  • V potential difference in volts (V)
  • I current in amps (A)
  • R resistance in Ohms (W)

    a 7 A current to flow through a 14 W toaster?

V(7A)(14W)
19
20.2 Current and Ohms Law How are voltage,
current, and resistance related?
  • How much current would flow through a 96 W light
    bulb when it is plugged into a 120 V source?
  • Fill in the equation
  • Answer

VIR

20
S-68 How are voltage, current, and resistance
related?
  • A toaster is plugged into a 120 V wall outlet.
    How much current will it draw if it is a 47 W
    resistor?

21
S-69 What factors affect electrical resistance?
  • What three factors determine the resistance of an
    object?
  • How does resistance change as each factor changes?

22

  • How do series and parallel circuits differ?
  • How do you calculate electric power?

23

  • Electric Circuit complete pathway
  • Circuit diagram show the path and devices in
    the pathway

  • Battery of cells
  • Resistor
  • Light bulb
  • Switch

24
20.3 Electric Circuits How do series and parallel
circuits differ?
  • Series Circuit
  • Has only one pathway for current
  • If one device is disconnected they all stop
    working
  • Parallel Circuit
  • Has more than one pathway for current
  • Devices dont affect other devices
  • Household circuits are parallel

25
20.2 Current and Ohms Law How do you calculate
electric power?
  • Power is equal to voltage multiplied by current
  • P power in watts (W)
  • I current in amps (A)
