A. Static ElectricityA. Static Electricity
Static Electricity the net accumulation of electric
charges on an object
Electric Field force exerted by an e- on anything that
has an electric charge opposite charges attract like charges repel
A. Static ElectricityA. Static Electricity
Static Discharge the movement of
electrons to relieve a separation in charge
A. Static ElectricityA. Static ElectricityThree ways to achieve static electricity
Friction • Rubbing together two objects
Induction• Inducing a positive or negative charge
Conduction• Transferring a positive or negative charge
Demo on Static Electricity
B. ConductorsB. Conductors
Conductor material that allows electrons to move
through it easily e- are loosely held ex: metals like copper and silver
C. InsulatorsC. Insulators
Insulator material that doesn’t allow electrons to
move through it easily e- are tightly held ex: plastic, wood, rubber, glass
D. ElectroscopeD. Electroscope
Electroscope instrument that
detects the presence of electrical charges
leaves separate when they gain either a + or - charge

II. Electric CurrentII. Electric CurrentCircuitPotential DifferenceCurrentResistanceOhm’s Law
A. CircuitA. Circuit
Circuit closed path through
which electrons can flow
A. Potential DifferenceA. Potential Difference
Potential Difference (voltage) difference in electrical potential
between two places large separation of charge creates
high voltage the “push” that causes e- to move
from - to + measured in volts (V)
B. CurrentB. Current
Current flow of electrons through a conductor depends on # of e- passing a point in
a given time measured in amperes (A)
C. ResistanceC. Resistance
Resistance opposition the flow of electrons electrical energy is converted to
thermal energy & light measured in ohms ()
Copper - low resistance Tungsten - high resistance
C. ResistanceC. Resistance
Resistance depends on… the conductor
wire thickness• less resistance
in thicker wires
wire length • less resistance in shorter wires
temp - less resistance at low temps
E. Ohm’s LawE. Ohm’s Law
Ohm’s Law
V = I × RV: potential difference (V)
I: current (A)
R: resistance ()
• Voltage increases when current increases.• Voltage decreases when resistance increases.
E. Ohm’s LawE. Ohm’s LawA light bulb with a resistance of 160 is
plugged into a 120-V outlet. What is the current flowing through the bulb?
GIVEN:
R = 160 V = 120 V
I = ?
WORK:
V= I * RDivide both sides by R
I = V ÷ R
I = (120 V) ÷ (160 )
I = 0.75 A
E. Ohm’s LawE. Ohm’s LawA cell phone with a resistance of 50 is plugged into a 110-V outlet. What is the current flowing through the bulb?
GIVEN:
R = 50 V = 110 V
I = ?
WORK:
V= I * RDivide both sides by R
I = V ÷ R
I = (110 V) ÷ (50 )
I = 2.2 A
E. Ohm’s LawE. Ohm’s LawA Television is plugged into a 120-V outlet. How much resistance does it have if the current is measured to be 4.25 A?
