1. Electrical Energy in Circuits and Conductive material
By: Dejah T., Melany P., Hayley B.

2. Electrical Energy
Energy made available by the flow of electric charge through a conductor.

3. Current
The rate at which charge flows through a circuit is known as the current.
I total = I1 + I2 + I

4. Parallel Circuits more than one path.
Rules: -Two or more paths for current flow
-Voltage is the same across each component
-Sum of currents through each path = total current from
source
-TOTAL RESISTANCE = 1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R
-If one path broken, current flows through others

5. Series Circuit ONE path for current to flow
Rules: -Same current flows through each part
-Total resistance = sum of individual resistances Voltage applied = sum of individual voltage drops.
-Voltage drop across a resistor is directly proportional to the size of the resistor.
-Circuit is broken = no current will flow.

6. Conductors
materials that permit electrons to flow freely from particle to particle.
