What do you Think? (p598) p142 Record in your notebook
Usually, when you need electricity, all you have to do is plug an appliance into the wall How is the electricity that you use generated? Make a list of energy sources Compare with a partner

Part A p143 1.) Where does electricity come from? How does it get to your house? All Sacramento county households get their electricity from SMUD (Sacramento Metropolitan Utility District) and natural gas from PG&E (Pacific Gas and Electricity) Ask for a copy of your most recent SMUD bill. Make a copy and bring it to class.

List what appliances are needed in your house:

How many physics students does it take to light a light bulb?
Using only the items in the bag, make the light bulb glow. Draw a picture in your notebook Explain what you think is happening

Electricity model: Section 1 DQ: How does electricity work?
p145 1. Electricity is created when electrons move from one place to another. Electricity can also be created when work is done to move a magnet within a coil of wire (generator) 2. Electrons move to places with less negative charge (opposite charges attract, similar charges repel) 3. Energy can be transferred from one type to another. 4. Power companies (like SMUD) get electricity from different sources (hydro, gas, solar, wind, geothermal) 5. For an electric current to exist in a circuit, the circuit must form a closed loop. Switches are used to open/close a circuit. Metals conduct easily. Other materials do not and act as insulators. 6. A fuse burns out if the current becomes too large 7. As the energy output of a circuit increases, the energy needed also increases

Investigation 2: The Electron Shuffle Part A: Modeling a Simple Circuit
Volunteer to be the battery: Volunteer to be the light bulb (how do we know when the bulb is “on”?) Everyone else is an electric charge (electron)in the circuit Arrange yourselves into a complete circuit Round 1

p146 Round 1 (record in your notebook) Round 2: add vocals The battery (source of beads) gave each unit of charge (student electron) a certain amount of energy (one bead).The charge then gave that energy to the light bulb (dancing student) who converted the energy into light, The charges (student electrons) continue back to the battery to get more energy and repeat the process. 1 volt battery means… 1 amp means… The battery announces “the battery voltage is 1 volt which equals one joule of energy for each coulomb of charge” Any student receiving a block responds “one coulomb of charge receiving one joule of energy” Teacher says “please move along, one coulomb per second is one ampere (amp) of current” The light bulb says “I just received one joule of energy from that coulomb of charge”

This is the ELECTRON SHUFFLE
This is the ELECTRON SHUFFLE. What are the variables that we could change? p146 Round 3 Voltage=3 volts means… (battery gives each charge 3 joules of energy) Current=1 amp means… ( coulomb of charge moves by every second) Record what happens Round 4 Voltage=1volt means… Current=2 amps means… Record what happens

On your own p608 #9 Record how the electron shuffle would change under the following conditions:
a.) there is a 5 volt battery b.) current is 3 amps c.) there is a two volt battery d.) the current is increased to 5 amps e.) the two-volt battery is replaced with a four-volt battery f.) the current increases from 2 amps to 3 amps

Part B: Modeling a series circuit
Now we need 2 light bulbs. 1a.) Describe what will happen if we put 2 bulbs in our circuit, one right after the other. In order to have any light in the second bulb, an electron (student) must keep some of the energy from the first bulb (so less energy goes to the first bulb) to give to the second. This is called resistance. How much energy goes to the first bulb depends on the bulb. For now, half of the energy will go to the first bulb, and half to the second bulb.

Part B (p608) P147-8 2a.) Since the brightness of a bulb depends on how much energy is used up in the bulb during a given time, how would the brightness of each of the 2 bulbs in the series circuit compare with the brightness of a single bulb hooked up to the same battery? 3 A) 4 light bulbs in series result in… B) two light bulbs and a 3-volt battery C) two light bulbs, but twice as much current D) two different kinds of light bulbs in series Get a stamp

Electricity model: Section 2
p145 Electricity model: Section 2 8. Electrical power is the speed that energy is transferred. Power is measured in Watts (W) 9. Electric potential or voltage is the potential energy per unit of charge, and is measured in volts 1 volt=1 joule/charge 10. Current is the amount of charge per unit of time that flows past a point and is measured in amperes (amps) 1amp=1 charge/second 11. Resistors are electronic devices (like light bulbs) that resist the flow of electric charge 12. In a series circuit there is one path for current to follow. The sum of the voltage dropped at each resistor is equal to the total voltage supplied to the circuit (2 light bulbs in series: each gets ½ the voltage and are therefore ½ the brightness)

Investigation 3 Series and Parallel Circuits (p614-617)
What do you see in the picture? Turn and share 2 things that you see with your neighbor What do you think? When one light bulb in your house goes out, can the other light bulbs remain on? Can a circuit be set up to allow this? Record your ideas in your notebook… Share out

Investigation Part A; Modeling a parallel circuit
Back to our electron shuffle model… Round 1: Set up a series circuit. What happens again when we put a second bulb into this series circuit? Draw a picture of this circuit. Round 2: Now we are going to make a parallel circuit. At a certain point, a junction, electrons will have to choose which light bulb to give their energy to. Draw a picture of this circuit.

Round 2 (2 bulbs in parallel): jan-jun go to bulb one jul-dec bulb two
The battery announces “the battery voltage is 1 volt which equals one joule of energy for each coulomb of charge” Any student receiving a bead responds “one coulomb of charge receiving one joule of energy” Teacher says “please move along, one coulomb per second is one ampere (amp) of current” The light bulb says “I just received one joule of energy from that coulomb of charge” Record in your notebook: 1 volt battery means… (battery gives each charge 1 joules of energy) 1 amp means… (1 coulombs of charge move by every second) 3.)Record what happens: The battery: The electrons: The light bulbs:

p149 4a.) The battery provided each coulomb of charge with one joule of energy. How much energy did each light bulb get from each coulomb of charge? Each light bulb receives one joule (bead) for each coulomb of charge (from each student electron) that passes through the light bulb.

4b.) The charges left the battery at the rate of one coulomb per second. What was the current through each light bulb? (1)(1)/2= Because the current divides equally among the light bulbs, each light bulb receives an equal share of the coulomb of charge . 2 bulbs means each bulb gets one half.

Round 3 (3 bulbs in parallel): jan-apr bulb one, may-aug bulb two, sep-dec bulb three
The battery announces “the battery voltage is 1 volt which equals one joule of energy for each coulomb of charge” Any student receiving a block responds “one coulomb of charge receiving one joule of energy” Teacher says “please move along, one coulomb per second is one ampere (amp) of current” The light bulb says “I just received one joule of energy from that coulomb of charge” Record in your notebook: Draw a picture of this circuit

4c.) The battery provided each coulomb of charge with one joule of energy. How much energy did each light bulb get from each coulomb of charge? Each light bulb receives one joule (bead) for each coulomb of charge (from each student electron) that passes through the light bulb. (same amount as the last round)

4d.) The charges left the battery at the rate of one coulomb per second. What was the current through each light bulb? (1)(1)/3= Three bulbs means each bulb gets 1/3 per second (different amount of current than the last round)

Continue recording in your notebook:
p150 Round 4 Voltage=3 volts (battery gives each charge 3 joules of energy) Current=1 amp (1 coulombs of charge move by every second) Round 5 Voltage=1 volt (means…) Current=2 amps (means…)

p150 How does a parallel circuit change under these conditions? (1 volt and 1 amp) 7a.) 4 bulbs in a parallel circuit (the current passing by each light bulb would be…) (1)(1)/4= One fourth (1/4) coulomb per second or one student passing by every 4 seconds

7b.) three light bulbs and a 3 volt battery (3)(1)/3=
p150 How does a parallel circuit change under these conditions? (3 volt and 1 amp) 7b.) three light bulbs and a 3 volt battery (3)(1)/3= Three times the charge means three times as bright Each light bulb receives 1/3 of a coulomb of charge per second=1 ampere

7c.) 3 light bulbs and larger current (2 amps) (1)(2)/3=
How does a parallel circuit change under these conditions? (1 volt and 2 amp) 7c.) 3 light bulbs and larger current (2 amps) (1)(2)/3= Each light bulb would still get the same amount of energy per charge (student) passing by, and 1/3 the larger current, but there is twice as much current, so each bulb would get 2/3 amps each

7d.) 4 light bulbs and 6 volts (6)(1)/4 =
How does a parallel circuit change under these conditions? (6 volt and 1 amp) p150 7d.) 4 light bulbs and 6 volts (6)(1)/4 = Each light bulb would receive six joules of energy for every coulomb (student) that passes and each light bulb would receive ¼ the current of 1 amp (one student would pass by every 4 seconds)

7e.) 3 bulbs that are not identical
How does a parallel circuit change under these conditions? (1 volt and 1 amp) p150 7e.) 3 bulbs that are not identical Each would get the same amount of energy per charge (student), but different amounts of charge because they are not identical (the number of students passing by per second would vary)

p145 13. In a series circuit current flows along one path. In a parallel circuit the current flows along parallel paths. 14. The voltage drop across each branch is equal the total voltage 15. The sum of the current in each branch equals the total current

Section 4 (p623) p151 What do you see in the picture? Turn and share 2 things that you see with your neighbor What do you think? What determines the brightness of a bulb? What determines how much current flows in a circuit? Record your ideas in your notebook… Share out

p152 investigation Today you will use the phet simulation: Circuit Construction Kit (in place of the lab in the text book) All parts should be completed today (before our next class meeting) CU (p626) PtoGo (p ) 1-4 CDP

p145 16. Voltmeters are used to measure voltage (which is measured in volts or V) 17. Ammeters are used to measure current (which is measured in amps or I) 18. Resistance is directly proportional to the voltage dropped and inversely proportional to the current 19. Resistance is measured in ohms or Ω 20. Ohm’s Law: voltage=(current)(resistance) V=IR and I=V/R and R=V/I

p153 PtoGo (p629) 6. Your hair dryer has a resistance of 9.6 ohms and you plug it into the bathroom outlet. Assume household voltage to be 120 volts, and that different parts of your house are connected in parallel. a.) What current will it draw? I=V/R=120V/9.6=12.5 amps b.)Suppose that your brother has an identical hair dryer and plugs it into a parallel part of the circuit. What current will the two hair dryers draw? Parallel circuits have the same voltage drop and the same current…12.5 amps amps=25 amps total c.) If the maximum current the circuit breaker in the system can handle is 20 amps, what do you think will happen? The circuit breaker will “break” when the current exceeds 20 amps

p153 PtoGo (p629) 8.) A 12 volt battery is hooked up to a 3 ohm resistor. The current through the resistor is I=V/R=12/3=4 amps

PtoGo (p630) p153 9.) A 2 ohm resistor has 4 amps of current running through it. The voltage drop (or potential drop) across the resistor is V=IR=(4)(2)=8 volts

Section 5 electric power: load limit (p631-643)
What do you SEE in the cartoon? Use what you see, and your prior experience to answer the questions What Do You Think in your notebook What do you think is the function of a fuse or circuit breaker? Exactly what conditions do you think make a fuse blow or a circuit breaker trip?

Investigation 1.) Watch the following demonstrations on youtube
p154 Investigation 1.) Watch the following demonstrations on youtube Balloon fuse Electricity review 1a.) what happens to the light in the video when the fuse blows?

Teacher demo: when you plug a hot plate, a lamp with a 100 watt bulb, and a heater into a power strip and turn them all on at the same time, the power strip will turn itself off. p154 2a.) Why do you think that the fuse blew? b.) Why did the circuit require multiple appliances to blow out the fuse? c.) Explain why the fuse behaves the way it does.

Below are the appliance ratings:
Voltage Power (Watts) Current (Amps) Hot plate 120 800 Lamp with 100 Watt bulb 100 heater 300 4.) Copy the table into your notebook. 5.) Calculate the current for each appliance I=P/V 6.) Find the total current and total power used above. The current rating on the power strip was 10 A. Did the total current of the appliances exceed that rating? CU (p638) 1-4 PtoGo (p ) 1-13 CDP

p157 Electricity model: Section 5 20. Power is the rate at which energy is delivered to an object or a load in a circuit. Power is measured in watts. One Watt is one joule of energy supplied in one second of time (1 W= 1 J/s). For a circuit, the power can be calculated by multiplying current and voltage (P=IV) 21. When the flow of electric charge, or current, occurs easily in a material it is called a good electric conductor. When the material does not allow charge to flow easily (or not at all) it is called an insulator. 22. Fuses and circuit breakers are used as safeguards to protect the circuit from too much current and prevent electrical fires from starting. A fuse consists of a wire that will melt when too much current flows through it, thus opening the circuit. A fuse must be replaced when blown (to make a closed circuit). A circuit breaker is a switch that opens when too much current flows through it. A circuit breaker must be reset when tripped for current to resume flowing. 23. The power (and current) drawn by a circuit depends upon the voltage of the circuit and the resistance of the circuit. Decreasing the resistance of a circuit increases the power (and current) for a fixed voltage.

Section 6 CVR in Parallel and Series: Who’s in control? (p644-659)
What do you see? Many electrical switches are operated manually (by hand), and many others are automatic, turning appliances on and off in response to a variety of conditions. List at least 3 different kinds of automatic switching devices in the picture. What are the conditions that cause the on/off action of the switch?

p158 Investigate Today you will use the phet simulation: Circuit Construction Kit (in place of the lab in the text book) All parts should be completed today (before our next class meeting) CU (p654) 1-3 PtoGo (p ) 1-13 CDP

p157 Electricity model: Section 6 24. Switches are used to control the total circuit or part of a circuit. 25. Energy and charge are conserved in a circuit. Using these principles and Ohm’s Law results in the following relationships for series and parallel circuits: Series: Parallel: Vtotal = V1 + V2 + V3 etc. Vtotal = V1 = V2 = V3 etc. Itotal = I1 =I2 =I3 etc. Itotal = I1 + I2 + I3 etc. R total = R1 + R2 + R3 etc. 1/Rtotal = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 etc. 26. For any junction in a circuit, the current flowing into the junction must equal the current leaving the junction. 27. The energy consumed in the parts of a circuit is equal to the the energy supplied by the power source 28. Adding resistance in parallel decreases the circuit resistance and increases the circuit current and power.

Magnetism model p155 The direction of a magnetic field outside a magnet is from north to south (that is why a compass points north) The earth’s magnetic field is caused by currents in the earth’s core and changes over time. All magnetic fields are produced by moving electric charges (electromagnets use electricity). The field is perpendicular to the wire. Changing the magnetic field changes both the current and the voltage. A moving charge is deflected when it crosses magnetic field lines. This force can be used to do work. The magnetic field is strongest near the center 5. A generator converts energy into electricity. A motor turns electricity into mechanical energy. 6. Faradays law

p163 Temperature model driving question: what does temperature really measure? 1. Measures the movement (speed) of molecules (more energy=more speed) 2. As the molecule speed increases, the molecules spread out taking up more space. This is what happens in a thermometer. 3. Centigrade (celsius), kelvin, farhenheit 4. Absolute zero is when molecules stop moving and therefore take up zero space (impossible!)

Section 8: Energy Consumption (p678-680)
What do you SEE in the cartoon? Use what you see, and your prior experience to answer the questions What Do You Think in your notebook What do we use hot water for? Most American homes use more energy to heat water than all the other energy uses combined. There are 2 main types of water heaters. A big tank of water that is heated by a gas flame (and kept hot until you want to use it) and “instant” water heaters that use electricity through an immersion unit to heat water only when you want to use it. Which type do you have at home? Which do you think is more efficient?

Energy model: Section 9 p163
17. Heat may be transferred by conduction, convection, or radiation. Conduction occurs when two objects are touching each other. Convection occurs through the movement of a fluid. Radiation occurs when the warmer object emits electromagnetic waves in all directions and the cooler object absorbs some or all of it 18. 2nd Law of Thermodynamics. Heat flows from hot to cold, increasing the disorder by making molecules move faster (entropy) rd Law of Thermodynamics. We can never reach absolute zero because it is impossible for molecules to stop moving.
