  has a potential difference of 120 V. In Europe,
  it is 240 V. What would be the power output of a
  100W 120 V light bulb if it was connected to a
  240 V system? What would happen to the light bulb?

  talking about electrical energy consumption
  _____________________
• One ____________ is the energy transformed by
  1000 W in one hour (3.6x106J).
• A typical charge by an energy company for
  consumed energy is roughly ____________. That
  means that for 7 cents you can buy enough energy
  to lift 360 kg a vertical distance of more than 1
  km!

  of 4.0 h a day. If the television set is rated at
  80 W and energy costs 0.07per Kw-h, how much
  would it cost to operate the television for 30
  days?

  usually have much greater ____________ than wires
  and batteries.

  1.5-volt battery and three 1 ohm resistances
  (bulbs) in series?

18
Voltage in a Series Circuit

  as the current passes through.
• As current flows along a series circuit, each
  type of ___________transforms some of the
  electrical energy into another form of energy.

  across each resistor.

  is not the same at all points in a parallel
  circuit.

21

• Sometimes these paths are called ____________.
• The current through a branch is also called the

  the current always has to go somewhere.
• The total current in the circuit is the sum of
  the currents in all the branches.

  must equal the current flowing in.
• This rule is known as ___________________.

Voltage Current in a Parallel Circuit

• In a parallel circuit the __________ is the same
  across each branch because each branch has a low
  resistance path back to the battery.
• The amount of ___________ in each branch in a
  parallel circuit is not necessarily the same.
• The resistance in each branch determines the
  current in that branch.

  draw huge amounts of ________________.

28
Resistance in Parallel Circuits

• Adding resistance in parallel provides another
  path for current, and ________current flows.
• When more current flows for the same voltage, the
  total resistance of the circuit
  ______________________.
• This happens because every new path in a parallel
  circuit allows more current to flow for the same

1. If you know the total resistance and current, use
   __________________ to calculate voltages or
   voltage drops. If you know the resistance and

   law as R V I, if you know the current and the
   voltage drop through the resistor.
3. Use _______________ and _______________ as
   necessary.

Example 4

• A bulb with a resistance of 1O is to be used in a
  circuit with a 6-volt battery. The bulb requires
  1 amp of current. If the bulb were connected
