Current The amount of charge that passes a point in
space in a given amount of time Units are Amperes
1 Ampere = 1 Coulomb/second No current flows unless there is a voltage
difference across the circuit

Resistance A property of a material that hinders the flow of
current through it Units are Ohms (Ώ) Insulators
Current cannot flow through High resistance
Conductors Current flows easily Low resistance

What is a circuit? There must be a voltage source (e.g. battery)
Provides the potential difference to drive the charges Charges must move around a complete loop

Roles of the Battery Provides energy
Converts chemical potential energy stored in bonds to electrical potential energy
Pumps the charge from the - to + terminal Does work against the electric potential
Maintains a potential difference across the external circuit

Anatomy of a Light Bulb The base of the bulb is
electrically isolated from the sides
Current has to flow through the thin filament which has moderately high resistance
The filament heats up until it glows because of the resistance
The glass globe contains a vacuum so that the filament doesn’t react with the air and burn out

Electricity and Circuits Electric Cell
– a device that is a source of electric current
because it has a voltage (potential difference)
between _the terminals (the positive and
negative ends. The charge is separated
chemically to produce an electric potential
difference.

Battery Battery – a combination of cells put
together to produce a _higher voltage_.
The size of the battery corresponds to
___how much energy it holds______ (this is NOT the
same as voltage)!

Building Circuits -3 components A source (this really means a source of
electrons) A load (this is what is causes charge to “build
up” in a circuit) Examples:
A wire (this creates a closed loop between the load and the source so that electrons can “flow”
![Page 14: Electricity and Circuits Moving Charges. Current The amount of charge that passes a point in space in a given amount of time Units are Amperes 1 Ampere](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d835503460f94a68b03/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Current and Circuits Conventional Current
The direction positive charges would flow in the circuit Yes, we do know NOW that it is really electrons that move
through a wire! Ben Franklin thought it was positive charges that flow and his
convention stuck Conventional current moves from the positive terminal of
the battery to the negative one. In the real world electrons move from the negative terminal of
the battery through the external circuit to the positive terminal
![Page 15: Electricity and Circuits Moving Charges. Current The amount of charge that passes a point in space in a given amount of time Units are Amperes 1 Ampere](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d835503460f94a68b03/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Inside the Wire Without an electric field,
electrons move randomly Motion is collisional (bumper cars!) In any given period of time as many electrons
cross through a cross sectional area going one way as going the other
No net current
![Page 16: Electricity and Circuits Moving Charges. Current The amount of charge that passes a point in space in a given amount of time Units are Amperes 1 Ampere](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d835503460f94a68b03/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Inside the Wire With an electric field
Motion is still collisional (bumper cars!) Motion in the direction of the field is favored In any given period of time more electrons go
through a cross sectional area going with the field than going the other way
Net current created Current is the same everywhere in a series circuit
No place where charge builds up in the circuit

Turning on the Switch Electric Field is felt everywhere at close to the speed
of light Charges start moving in response to the electric field
(move to lower potential) everywhere at once Actual drift velocity of electrons is slow (1 m/s) Light bulb lights immediately because electrons
within the filament start to move

Series and Parallel Circuits Series circuits have
a single loop Parallel circuits
have several possible loops Current is split
between the loops Overall resistance
is lower because there are more paths for current to flow through

Potential Changes in the Circuit
Battery increases potential Potential drops inexternal circuit
Potential drops across eachdevice in the circuit
Potential gain in battery = - Potential loss in circuit
Going through a wire makes little change in potential
