MR. MICHAEL MENDOZA
Hello Class! I hope things are okay. đ
âWhat is a soul? Itâs like electricity â we donât really
know what it is, but itâs a force that can light a roomâ.
I wish you all the best as you journey with this second week of your lifelong learning
module.
Itâs OKAY to not know. Itâs NOT OKAY to not try.
ENERGY! - Energy is the capacity to do work. There are different types of energy-- existing in the form of thermal, radiant, chemical potential, kinetic energy and some other forms. Nature always seeks for a neutral charge equilibrium. The jolt that you feel from the static electricity is caused by the charge imbalance between charged object, for example, when you rub your feet on a carpet and then touching the metal door knob-- as you rub your feet on the carpet you lose electrons, making you positively charged then you touch the metal door knob which is a conductor that has a lose electrons, these electrons will travel to you, bringing you back to being electrically neutral.

đElectrical Energy
Electricity is the movement of electrons. All matter consists of atoms that have positively
charged protons, negatively charged electrons, and neutrons that have no charge. Protons and
neutrons are situated at the center of the atom called the nucleus, while the electrons surround it.
Usually, there's an equal number of electrons and protons--making the atom neutral or having no
net charge. When an outside force upsets the balance between protons and electrons, the atom
can lose or gain electrons--losing electrons will make the atom positively charged, and gaining
electrons will make the atom negatively charged. Atoms of every element have different
electronic configurations which refer to the distribution of electrons in various shells. The
valence shell is the outermost shell of every element. When the outer shell is full, the atom is least
reactive or stable while loosely bound valence electrons (electrons on the valence shell) can
easily be transferred or lost.
đConductors and Insulators
Conductors are materials with high electron mobility and Insulators are materials with
low electron mobility. Copper atoms in the wire easily exchange electrons--allowing us to create
an Electrical Circuit.
Insulators don't easily pass on electrons, and this does not conduct
electricity. Conductors, on the other hand, have loose electrons at the valence shell which easily
move to adjacent atoms, thus they conduct electricity.
đElectrical Circuit: Volts
Circuit where the charge flows--it is a path that connects two points from the negative
terminal to the positive terminal of a power source. When electrons move from atom to an atom
(in copper wire) they displace the free electrons in the adjacent atoms, - thus creating the flow of
charge.
Voltage is the energy that pushes the electrons in a circuit in the same direction
causing current. Voltage is measured in volts (V) and is also a difference in energy between one
point in a circuit and another often referred to as the potential difference.
Potential difference quantifies how much work can be done in a circuit. The SI unit
for electric charge is the Coulomb or "Câ. 1 Volt is the energy required to push 1 coulomb. 1
coulomb is approximately 6.242 x 1018 electrons per second.
1 Volts = 1 Joule / 1 Coulomb. Voltage gives charged particles, like electrons the energy
to move when there is electric potential between two points.
đElectrical Current Electric current is the total amount of charge passing through a wire over a period of
time--current is the flow of electrons in a circuit. Ampere is the base unit of electric current which
tells how many electrons flow past a single point every second. Watt is a unit of power - named
after James Watt the inventor of Steam Engine.

Activity Title: Part II | Circuit and Electricity
Learning Targets: At the end of the activity, the students CAN:
1. describe what a circuit is and its fundamentals:
1.4. types of current;
1.5. resistance; and
1.6. Ohmâs Law
Value/s: Conservation of Energy

đTypes of Current | Current comes it 2 varieties - both of which has its own specific uses:
AC - Alternating Current
DC - Direct Current
In an Alternating Current the direction of charge changes periodically. AC is used to deliver
power to houses from the power plant. AC is generated by an electrical generator. A loop of wire is spun
inside of a magnetic field, which induces a current along the wire. The rotation of the wire can come
from any number of means: a wind turbine, a steam turbine, flowing water, and so on. Because the wire
spins and enters a different magnetic polarity periodically, the voltage and current alternates on the wire.
For Direct Current it provides a constant voltage which flows in one direction. Examples of this
are the Batteries. DC can be converted from AC by a device called "commutatorâ or a rectifier.
đResistance | Restriction of the flow of electrons which is measured in Ohms.
At some point, all materials resist current flow which falls on 2 broad categories:
Conductors -offers very little resistance
Insulators - materials that have high resistance.
Higher resistance means lower current flow and a lower resistance means higher current flow.
Resistance occurs when and electron collides with an atom - the number of collisions differs from one
material to another. Note: Temperature also affects the resistance of the materials.
đOhmâs Law
Ohm's Law is a formula used to calculate the relationship between voltage, current, and
resistance in an electrical circuit. Named after Georg Simon Ohm, a German physicist who studied the
relationship between voltage, current, and resistance. He is credited for formulating Ohm's Law. In this
algebraic expression, voltage (E) is equal to current (I) multiplied by resistance (R). Using algebra
techniques, we can manipulate this equation into two variations, solving for I and for R, respectively:
Industrial Revolution brought us the innovation in electricity. Energy Revolution contributed to Industrial
Revolution as official energy for revolution. On the other hand, this revolution brought a negative impact to our
environment such as overuse of fossil fuels and pollution. As a 21st century learner how can you help in solving the
problem on conserving energy? What are the alternative ways that you can use aside from traditional energy sources?
