Notes Electricity Smith 2014 Types of electric charge Protons w/ ‘+’ charge “stuck” in the nucleus Electrons w/ ‘-’ charge freely moving around the nucleus in orbits Conductors Allow the easy flow of electricity loosely bound electrons that are free to move from atom to atom metals like aluminum, gold, copper and silver Insulators – resists the flow of electrons hold more tightly to their valence electrons: plastic, rubber, glass Interactions between charges Like charge repel Opposite charges attract Static Charge Latin word “Stasis” which means “Stays” Objects are typically “Neutral” w/ the same # of protons and electrons They can become “charged” by gaining or losing electrons – NOT PROTONS! – They stay in the nucleus! The buildup of these charges is “Static Electricity” In Static Electricity the charges build up and STAY; they don’t flow as they do in electric currents Transferring Static Charge Friction – transferred from rubbing i.e. get shocked after walking on the carpet Conduction – transferred by direct contact w/ another object – hair standing on end w/ Van de Graff machine
Induction – the force field of a highly negatively charged object pushes the electrons away from nearby objects causing them to become + charged, they then are attracted to each other. i.e. statically charged balloon attracts small pieces of torn up paper Static Discharge Objects don’t hold a static charge forever – objects tend toward equilibrium – they “want” to be neutral When electrons move toward this equilibrium – static discharge occurs Humidity – water (a polar molecule) vapor in the air pulls electrons off negatively charged objects, preventing static charges to build up Sparks & Lightning - objects reaching static equilibrium Circuits Circuit Measurements Electric Current - Flow of electrons through a material Electrical Potential – Similar to potential energy (lifting something higher against the force of gravity gives it greater potential to do work, increasing its potential energy.) When given the opportunity, objects will move from higher potential energy to an area of lower potential energy Electrical potential is related to their electrical fields and not to height – as electrons build up on one side they “want” to flow to an area w/ less potential Voltage Voltage – causes current to flow through an electrical circuit Volt – unit of measure to measure this potential A Voltage Source (battery or generator) is required to maintain the electrical potential in a circuit. Electrical Current Electrical Current is measured in Amperes Amount of Electrical Current ( amps) depends on more than just Voltage, it depends on the Resistance found in the circuit.
Electrical Resistance the opposition to the flow of electricity – measured in Ohms – symbol is the Greek letter Omega Electricity will take the path of least resistance The greater the resistance, the less current there is for a given voltage. a. Longer wires have greater resistance than short wires b. Thin wires have more resistance than thick wire c. High conductors have less resistance than insulators Series Circuits – provides only one path for the electrons to follow 1. A break in the circuit stops the flow of electricity to all other parts of the circuit 2. With multiple light bulbs (more resistance) the current reduces & the dimmer the lights become Parallel circuits – the different parts of the circuit are on separate branches A break (burn out light bulb) in the circuit doesn’t stop the flow to the remaining devices Multiple light bulbs will remain the same brightness since the resistance is not decreasing as it does in a series circuit. Each pathway can be separately switched off w/out affecting the others Household circuits – Wired in parallel The more paths the LESS the resistance As resistance decreases, current increases
