Chapter 22 CURRENT ELECTRICITY

Chapter 34: Electric Current I. The Flow of Charge (34.1) A. Potential Difference- When there is a difference in potential (voltage), between the ends of a conductor, charge will flow until both ends reach a common potential

1. Much like temperature flows from hot 1. Much like temperature flows from hot to cold object until they are the same temperature 2. When there is no potential difference then no longer a flow of charge through the conductor

B. To maintain a flow of charge in a conductor, a difference in potential must be maintained 1. Analogous to the flow of water from higher reservoir to a lower one 2. A suitable “pump” must be supplied to maintain difference. (whether we talk about water flowing or flow of charge)

II. Electric Current (34.2) A. Electric current- the flow of electric charge. 1. Solid conductors- electrons carry the charge through the circuit (electrons are free to move throughout the atomic network) a. called conduction electrons b. Protons are in fixed position in nucleus of atom and cannot move about

3. In fluids such as electrolytes (car battery)- positive and negative ions as well as electrons may compose the flow of electric charge

B. Electric current measured in amperes 1. SI unit is (A) amperes 2. 1A = flow of 1 coulomb of charge per second a. Coulomb is standard unit of charge b. 1 coulomb = 6.24 x 1018 electrons

III. Voltage Source (34.3) A. Charges do not flow without a potential difference 1. A sustained current requires a suitable “electric pump” to provide potential difference

2. Something that provides potential difference is called a voltage source. 3. Dry cells, wet cells, and generators supply energy that allows charges to move a. Dry and wet cells- energy released in chemical reactions occurring inside that is converted into electrical energy

b. Generator-convert mechanical energy into electrical energy c. This electrical potential energy is available at the terminals of the cell or generator

B. The potential energy per coulomb of charge available to electrons moving between terminals is the voltage 1. Sometimes called electromotive force (emf) 2. The voltage provides the “electric pressure” to move electrons betweens terminals in circuit

C. Power utilities use large electric generators to provide 120 volts delivered to home outlets D. Voltage causes current 1. Voltage does not flow- creates the “pressure” 2. Charges flow through circuit (called current)

IV. Electric Resistance (34.4) A. Electrical resistance- the current depends on the resistance that the conductor offers to the flow of charge 1. Resistance or wire depends on conductivity of material

2. Also on thickness and length of wire a. Thick wires- less resistance b. Thin wires- more resistance c. Short wires -less resistance d. Long wires -more resistance

3. Resistance also depends on temperature a. High temperature- for most conductors, increased temp means increased resistance b. resistance of some conductors becomes zero at very low temperatures (superconductors)

B. Electrical resistance measured in units called ohms

V. Ohm’s Law (34.5) A. Ohm discovered that current is directly proportional to voltage impressed across circuit and inversely proportional to the resistance 1. Called Ohm’s Law 2. Units for these are: Voltage Current = Resistance Volts 1 Amperes = 1 Ohms

a. For a given circuit of constant resistance, current and voltage are proportional b. The greater the resistance, the less the current (inversely proportional)

B. Resistance of materials 1. Typical lamp cord- much less than 1 ohm 2. An iron or toaster- resistance of 15 to 20 ohms (low resistance permits large current- which produces considerable heat 3. Inside electrical devices- current regulated by circuit elements called resistors (range from a few ohms to millions of ohms

VI. Ohm’s Law and Electric Shock (34.6) A. It is current not voltage that causes effect of electrical shock 1. Human body varies in resistance (100 ohms if wet, and up to 500,000 ohms if very dry)

2. If a pathway is provided for current (grounding) can be dangerous a. Home appliances are grounded with three-prong plugs to prevent electrocution b. If live wire comes into contact with metal surface of appliance, the current will be directed to the ground rather than shocking you.

B. Effect of electric shock- overheats tissues in body or disrupt normal nerve functions

VII. Direct Current and Alternating Current (34.7) A. Electric current can be DC or AC 1. Direct Current (DC)- Flow of charge in one direction a. Batteries produce DC b. Electrons move from repelling negative terminal towards attracting positive terminal

2. Alternating Current (AC)- Electrons move first in one direction and then in the opposite direction a. In North America nearly all AC circuits alternate back and forth at a frequency of 60 cycles per second. (60 hertz)

b. Voltage is normally 120 volts c. Europe adopted 220 volts (power transmission more efficient at higher voltages)

B. Popularity of AC arises from fact that electrical energy can be transmitted great distances with easy voltage step-ups that result in lower heat losses in the wires

VIII. Converting AC to DC (34.8) A. The current in you home is AC and current in battery operated device is DC 1. Can operate device with an AC-DC converter 2. Uses transformer to lower the voltage as well

B. Diode- tiny electronic device that acts as one-way valve to allow electron flow in only one direction 1. Only half of each cycle will pass through the diode 2. Capacitor used to store energy and maintain continuous current

IX. The Speed of Electrons in a Circuit (34.9) A. The signal (turning on light bulb or telephone signal) travels nearly the speed of light 1. It is not the electrons that move at this speed but the signal 2. At room temperature, electrons move inside wire at an average speed of a few million kilometers per hour due to their internal motion

B. It is the pulsating electric field that can travel 1. Conducting wire acts as a “guide” or “pipe” for electric field lines 2. Conduction electrons are accelerated by the field in a direction parallel to the field lines a. Before they gain appreciable speed, they “bump into” anchored metallic ions in their paths and transfer some of their kinetic energy to them b. This is why current carrying wires become hot

C. In AC circuits, conduction electrons don’t make any net progress in any direction 1. Electrons oscillate rhythmically to and fro about relatively fixed positions 2. The electrons already in the wires vibrate to the rhythm of the traveling pattern.

X. The Source of Electrons in a Circuit (34.10) A. The source of electrons in a circuit is the conducting circuit material itself 1. Electrons do not flow through power lines into the wall outlets of your house. (outlets are AC) 2. When plug in AC, energy flows from outlet into appliance, not electrons

B. Energy is carried by electric field and causes vibratory motion of the electrons that already exist. 1. When you are jolted by AC electric shock, electrons making up the current in your body originate in your body 2. Electrons do not come out of the wire and through your body and into the ground; energy does

XI. Electric Power (34.11) A. Electric power- the rate at which electrical energy in converted into another form such as mechanical energy, heat, or light. 1. Equation: electric energy = current x voltage 2. Units: 1 watt = (1 ampere) x (1 volt)

B. Important when consider cost of electrical energy 1. Rate varies from 1 cent to 10 cents per kilowatt-hour 2. kilowatt-hour represents the amount of energy consumed in 1 hour at the rate of 1 kilowatt

3. Example: a 100 watt light bulb (60W 120V) where electrical energy costs 5 cents per kilowatt-hour can be run for 10 hours at a cost of 5 cents
