Electron and Electricity Electricity is the movement of electron thought a material. Electron flows along like a water current in a stream, so we call it Electric current. You need something to give energy to electrons. You need a battery and the power of it is called voltage. The higher the voltage, the more power there is to drive the electrons thought the circuit

Electron and Electricity Voltage is like the Steepness of a river. The bigger the different in height between the start and the end of the river, the faster the water current will flow. Voltage is measured in Volts

Electrical Resistance Materials such as copper or aluminium metals that conduct electricity are called conductors. Materials that don't allow electrons to pass through them, such as rubber and plastic, are called insulators. Resistance is a measure of How an object opposes the passage of electrons. The unit of electrical resistance is the ohm.

Electrical Resistance Every materials has Resistance. Copper has a low resistance and the wood has a high resistance. For example, a meter of copper has only 1 Ohm but a meter of wood has ohm We need resistance to reduce the flow of electrons thought a circuit, so we can build resistor to behave as Electrical resistance.

Reading Resistor Values The resistance of resistors is indicated using colour-coded bands on the body of the resistor The first three coloured indicates the value of the resistor in Ohms. The first band tells us the first digit, the second band tell us the second digit and the third band tell us the number of zeros

Color Code Table

Examples A) If the first band is green (5) the second digit is blue (6) and the third band is orange (3), the value of the resistor is ohm. Because 1000 Ohm = 1 K, we have 56k B) red, red, yellow. So we have 2, 2, 0000 or Ohm

Exercises 1. What resistor values are indicated by the following colour bands? (A) red, black, red (B) grey, red, orange (C) orange, white, blue (D) green, white, black 2. What are the colour codes for the following resistance values? (A) 2.2k (B) 270 (C) 56 k 3. What are the maximum and minimum values of a resistor with the following colours: Red, orange, brown with a gold tolerance band

Ohm´s Law There is a relationship between Voltage, Current and resistance. The current in a circuit ( amp) is directly proportional to the applied potential difference (volts) and inversely proportional to the resistance of the circuit ( resistance). I = v/r

Ohm´s Law I = v/r A nine volt battery supplies power to bulb with a resistance of 18 ohms. How much current is flowing through the bulb? Solution: Substitute in the values for V(Voltage) and R(Resistance).

Problem 1 A 110 volt wall outlet supplies power to a Tv set with a resistance of 2200 ohms. How much current is flowing through the Tv?

Problem 2 A CD player with a resistance of 40 ohms has a current of 0.1 amps flowing through it. Calculate how many volts supply the CD player? Choose your answer below 10.0 volts volts volts 4.0 volts

Designing a resistor network Sometimes you need a kind of resistor, but you don't have it on hand and it doesn't exist. Fortunately, it's possible to use several different resistors in combination to get virtually any level of resistance, for example if you have 2 resistor of 20 Ohm and you need a resistor of 40 Ohm, just add both in serial, so Rt = R1 + R2 + ……… ( Serial )

Designing a resistor network In the Figure you can see three resistors, but this time they're connected in parallel. Each electron will flow through one of the three resistors.Figure This three resistor have a equivalent resistor of:
