    This document provides physics revision notes on electricity. It discusses [1] the components of an atom and how like and unlike charges interact, [2] how static charges can be used in electrostatic precipitators and for painting, and can also be dangerous when re-fueling planes. It also covers [3] how ionic substances can conduct electricity through electrolysis, electrical symbols, voltage, current, resistance, and the differences between series and parallel circuits.

    1. 2. 3. 4. An atom consists of protons (positive), neutrons (neutral), and electrons (negative). Like charges repel, and unlike charges attract. When you rub a plastic rod with a cloth, it becomes negatively charged. When you rub an acetate rod with a cloth, it becomes positively charged. Static charges can be used: To keep the air clean, using an electrostatic precipitator. For even painting, whereby the metal object has a negative charge (due to electrons from the ground), and the paint is positively charged. Static charges can be dangerous when re-fuelling planes, as the materials are good insulators, and a spark could be formed to ignite the fuel. Therefore, planes are earthed during re-fuelling. Ionic substances in solution can conduct electricity through electrolysis. The formula for electric charge: Cha rge (C) = Current (A) Time (s) Q = I t 8. Electrical symbols:

    The voltage is the force (push) or potential difference that pushes electrons around the circuit. It is measured in volts (V). 10. The current is the flow of electrons through a wire. It is measured in amps (A). 11. The resistance is the slowing down of current. It is measured in ohms (). 12. The formula for resistance: 9. Voltage (V) = Current (A) Resistance () V = I R 13. In a series circuit: The resistances of each component add together to give the total resistance. The current is the same for every component. The total voltage is shared out between the components. 14. In a parallel circuit: The greater the resistance of a component is, the smaller the current through it will be. The currents in all the separate branches add together to give the total current. The voltage is the same across every component. 15. Simple voltage-current graphs:
