1 ELECTRIC CURRENTS

2 SIMPLE CIRCUIT What’s providing the energy? What’s “moving” in the circuit? What’s causing the movement? e.m.f. = Electromotive Force not a force, but the potential difference in volts

3 ELECTROMOTIVE FORCE (EMF)

4 CIRCUITS If the potential difference of the light bulb is 12V, what is the potential difference of the source in theory? What voltage would we measure in a lab?lab Internal Resistance is always present!

5 RESISTORS What does it mean for 2 resistors to be connected: In Series? In Parallel? Do you remember Kirchoff’s Laws?

6 KIRCHOFF’S LAWS CONSERVATION OF ENERGY CONSERVATION OF CHARGE

7 OHM’S LAW + KIRCHOFF’S LAWS = EQUIVALENT RESISTANCE IN SERIES

8

9 OHM’S LAW + KIRCHOFF’S LAWS = EQUIVALENT RESISTANCE IN PARALLEL
