good imagination and a pile of junk.-Thomas Edison

Review:Ohm’s Law
I = V / R
Georg Simon Ohm (1787-1854)
I = Current (Amperes) (amps)
V = Voltage (Volts)
R = Resistance (ohms)

How you should be thinking about electric circuits:
Voltage: what pushes the current through the circuit (in this picture it would be equivalent to gravity)
![Page 5: Do Now (10/14/13):](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/5681354a550346895d9ca7b4/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Resistance: friction that impedes flow of current through the circuit (rocks in the river)
How you should be thinking about electric circuits:

The Central Concept: Closed Circuit

Series and Parallel Circuits
![Page 12: Do Now (10/14/13):](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/5681354a550346895d9ca7b4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
CircuitsCan either be series or parallel.
![Page 13: Do Now (10/14/13):](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/5681354a550346895d9ca7b4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
20.1 Series and Parallel Circuits
In series circuits, current can only take one path.
The amount of current is the same at all points in a series circuit.
![Page 14: Do Now (10/14/13):](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/5681354a550346895d9ca7b4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
SeriesCurrent only takes one path for electrons
Current flows through every part of the circuit
![Page 15: Do Now (10/14/13):](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/5681354a550346895d9ca7b4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Lights in a Series
![Page 16: Do Now (10/14/13):](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/5681354a550346895d9ca7b4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
SeriesIf you add a resistor (like another light):Total resistance goes UP since all the current has must go through each resistor.
![Page 17: Do Now (10/14/13):](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/5681354a550346895d9ca7b4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Adding Resistors to Series:Current in the circuit will go DOWN (lights will dim)
If you remove a light bulb or one burns out—all go out!
![Page 18: Do Now (10/14/13):](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/5681354a550346895d9ca7b4/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Current in Series
Current is the same at all points
Use Ohm’s Law to find current using resistance and voltage
![Page 19: Do Now (10/14/13):](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/5681354a550346895d9ca7b4/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Voltage in Series
Voltage is reduced by each resistance – voltage drop
![Page 21: Do Now (10/14/13):](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/5681354a550346895d9ca7b4/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Calculating Voltage Example A 6 V battery is connected to a
series circuit. If the current is 2 A, what is the voltage across a 2Ω resistor?
![Page 22: Do Now (10/14/13):](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/5681354a550346895d9ca7b4/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Resistance in SeriesAdd up all resistors to get totalTotal resistance will go up because all of the current must go through each resistor.
![Page 23: Do Now (10/14/13):](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/5681354a550346895d9ca7b4/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Adding resistances in series
Each resistance in a series circuit adds to the total (or equivalent) resistance of the circuit.
Rtotal = R1 + R2 + R3...Total
resistance(ohms)
Individual resistances

20.1 Voltage in a series circuit
Each separate resistance creates a voltage drop as the current passes through.
As current flows along a series circuit, each type of resistor transforms some of the electrical energy into another form of energy
Ohm’s law is used to calculate the voltage drop across each resistor.
