    4. Predict what will happen if a discharging

    metal sphere to the charged dome.

    When the discharging metal sphere is brought near the charged dome,

    sparklingoccurs.

    An electric currentflow.

    5. Predict what will happen if hair of a

    student is brought near to the charged

    dome. Give reasons for your answer.

    The metal dome attracts the hair and

    the hair stand upright.

    This is because of each strand of hair

    receives positive charges and repels

    each other.

    6. The flow of electrical charges produces electric current.

    Electric Current

    1. Electric current consists of aflow of electrons

    2. The more charges that flow through a cross

    section within a given time, the largeris the

    current.

    3. Electric current is defined as the

    rate of flow of electric charge

    4. In symbols, it is given as:

    where I = electric current

    Q = charge

    t = time

    (i) The SI unit of charge is (Ampere /Coulomb/ Volt)(ii) The SI unit of time is (minute /second/ hour)

    (iii) The SI unit of current is (Ampere / Coulomb / Volt) is equivalent to

    (Cs // C-1s // Cs-1)

    (iv) By rearranging the above formula, Q = (It /t

    I/

    I

    t)

    4. If one coulomb of charge flows past in one second, then the current is one ampere.5. 15 amperes means in each second, 15 coulomb of charge through a cross section of a

    conductor.

    6. In a metal wire, the charges are carried by electrons.

    7. Each electron carries a charge of1.6 x 10-19 C.

    8. 1 C of charge is 6.25 x 1018 electrons.

    - 4 -

    I = Q

    Each second, 15 coulombs of charge cross theplane. The current is I = 15 amperes. Oneampere is one coulomb per second.

    Electric Field

    a) An electric field is a region in which an electric chargeexperiences aforce.

    b) An electric field can be represented by a number of lines indicate both the magnitude and

    direction of the field

    c) The principles involved in drawing electric field lines are :

    (i) electric field lines always extend from apositively-chargedobject to a

    negatively-chargedobject to infinity, or from infinity to a negatively-charged object,

    (ii) electric field lines nevercross each other,

    (iii) electric field lines are closerin astrongerelectric field.

    EFFECT OF AN ELECTRIC FIELD ON A POLYSTYRENE BALL

    1. Place the polystyrene ball between the

    two metal plates.

    2. Switch on the E.H.T and displace the

    polystyrene ball slightly so that it

    touches one of the metal plates

    Observation:

    The polystyrene ball oscillated between thetwo plates, touching one plate after

    another.

    Explanation:

    When the polystyrene ball touches the

    negatively charged plate, the ball

    receives negative charges from the plate

    and experiences a repulsive force.

    The ball will then move to the positively

    charged plate.

    When the ball touches the plate, the

    ball loses some of its negative charges

    to the plate and becomes positively

    charged.

    It then experiences a repulsive force.

    This process continues.

    EFFECT OF AN ELECTRIC FIELD ON A CANDLE FLAME

    C)

    1) Switch of the E.H.T and replace the

    polystyrene ball with a lighted candle.2) Sketch the flame observed when the

    E.H.T. is switched on.

    Observation:

    The candle flame splits into two portions in

    opposite direction. The portion that is

    attracted to the negative plate is very much

    larger than the portion of the flame that is

    attracted to the positive plate.

    Explanation:

    The heat of the flame ionizes the air

    molecules to become positive and

    negative charges.

    The positive charges are attracted to the

    negative plate while the negative

    charges are attracted to the positive

    plate.

    The flame is dispersed in two opposite

    directions but more to the negative

    plate.

    The positive charges are heavier than

    the negative charges. This causes the

    uneven dispersion of the flame.

    Conclusion

    1. Electric field is a region where an electric charge experiences a force.

    2. Like charges repeleach other but opposite charges attracteach other.

    3. Electric field lines are lines of force in an electric field. The direction of the field

    lines is frompositive to negative.

    Q = It

    I = Q/t

    = 5 / 10= 0.5 A

    Q = It

    I = Q/t = 300 / 120

    Ideas of Potential Difference

    (a)

    (b)

    Pressure at point P isgreaterthan the pressure

    at point Q

    Water will flow fromPto Q when the valve is

    opened.

    This due to the difference in the pressure of

    water

    Gravitational potential energy at X isgreaterthan

    the gravitational potential energy at Y.

    The apple will fall fromXto Ywhen the apple is

    released.

    This due to the difference in the gravitational

    potential energy.

    (c) Similarly,

    Point A is connected topositiveterminal

    Point B is connected to negativeterminal

    Electric potential at A is greater than the electric potential at

    B.

    Electric current flows from A to B, passing the bulb in the

    circuit and lights up the bulb.

    This is due to the electric potential difference between the two

    terminals.

    As the charges flow from A to B, work is done when electrical

    energy is transformed to lightand heatenergy.

    The potential difference, Vbetween two points in a circuit is

    defined as the amount of work done, Wwhen one coulomb of

    charge passes from one point to the other point in an electric

    field.

    The potential difference,V between the two points will be

    given by:

    where W is work or energy in Joule (J)

    Q is charge in Coulomb (C)

    potential difference supplied by the dry cells is

    shared by all the bulbs / resistors.

    V = V1 + V2 + V3 where V is the potential

    difference across the

    resistor. The current in the circuit equals to the

    sum of the currents passing through the bulbs /

    resistors in its parallel branches.

    I = I1 + I2 + I3 where I is the total current

    fromthe battery

    3 If Ohms law is applied separately to each bulb /

    The electrical components in our household appliances are connected in a combination of series andparallel circuits. The above figure shows a hair dryer which has components connected in series andparallel. Describe how the circuit works.

    Suggested answer

    The hair dryer has three switches A, B and C

    When switch A is switched on, the dryer will only blow air at ordinary room temperature

    When switches A and B are both switched on, the dryer will blow hot air.

    As a safety feature to prevent overheating, the heating element will not be switched on if the fan is

    not switched on

    The hair dryer has an energy saving feature. Switch C will switch on the dryer only when it is heldby the hand of user

    The body of the hair dryer must be safe to hold and does not get hot easily

    JPN Pahang Physics Module Form 5Teachers Guide Chapter 7: Electricity

    Characteristics Explanations

    A low resistivity Energy loss during transmission is reduced

    Max load beforebraking is high

    Stronger and long lasting

    A low densityMass or weight reduced. Can be supported by transmission

    tower

    Rate of expansion Cable will not slag when it heated during transmission

    Cable A is chosen because it has low resistivity, high max load before breaking, low

    density and low expansion rate.

    (c) (i) If one bulb is burnt the others is still be lighted up

    (ii) Each bulb can be switch on and off independently

    (d) (i) Pt = mc

    (2000)(t) = (1.5)(4200)(100-28)

    t = 226.8 s

    (ii) No heat is lost to the surroundings and absorbed by the kettle
