Electric Current Electrical current is the flow of electrons. Unlike static electricity, charges are in motion. Two types of Current I. Direct current.

ELECTRICITY Static Electricity Static electricity is when a charge is built up on an object. The charges do not move. This is usually caused by friction.

How do we describe current electricity?

Electric Current The flow of electrons through a conductor.

Electric Current Examples Electric hair straightner. Hair dryer Microwave Cell phone Cell charger

Conductor A material that easily allows electrons to flow through it.

Conductor Examples Copper wire All metals Water

Insulators A material that does not allow electrons to flow through it.

Insulators Example Plastic Rubber Glass Wax Air

Alternating Current The electrons alternate or change direction of flow. The abbreviation is AC.

Alternating Current Electricity from a wall plug. Electricity from a generator.

Direct Current The electrons flow in one direction. The abbreviation is DC.

Direct Current Batteries

Voltage Measure of the potential energy available to the circuit. The unit of measure is Volt and the symbol is V.

Voltage Car battery – 12 volts D cell battery – 1.5 volts House circuit – 120 volts except for the clothes dryer = 240 volts.

Current The flow of electrons in a circuit that carries energy. The symbol is I and the unit of measure is ampere (A).

Resistance The property of materials to resist the flow of current. The symbol is R and the unit of measure is Ohms (Ω).

Resistance Resistors Potentiometers

Series Circuit Current only has one path to flow

Parallel Circuit Current has two or more paths to follow

Charges Opposite charges __________ Like charges __________

Charges If Balloon B is Negative Balloon A is ____ Balloon C is ____

Charges If Balloon B is negative Balloon A is _____ Balloon C is _____

Transferring Charges An uncharged metal drink can is attached to a Styrofoam cup (which acts as an insulating stand). A negatively charged balloon is brought near the pop can. While the balloon is held near, the can is touched. When the hand is pulled away, the pop can is charged.

Transferring Charges This process is known as charging by_____.

Transferring Charges When the balloon is held near to the pop can (and before being touched by the hand), the distribution of charge on the drink can is best depicted by diagram _____.

Transferring Charges When the drink can is touched by the hand, ______ move from the ______ to the _______. a. protons, hand, can b. protons, can, hand c. electrons, hand, can d. electrons, can, hand

Transferring Charges This process causes the can to acquire a _____ charge. Negative Positive Neutral
