Current and Charge
Electricity
 Electricity is a form of energy that can be easily
changed to other forms.
 Electricity is the flow of electrical power of charge.
 Source: coal, natural gas, oil, nuclear power, and
other natural sources.
 Electricity is a basic part of nature, and it is one of
the most widely used forms of energy.
 There are three basic quantities in electricity:
 current, voltage, and resistance
Electricity
 Electricity is a convenient and clean form of energy
that is very commonly used in our everyday lives.

Where does electricity come form?

Mainly 2 sources:
1. Power Stations
– supply a lot of electricity
– used in many electrical appliances
2. Dry cell (batteries)
– supply a little electricity
– portable
Electric Charges
 Electric charges are made up
of positive charges (protons)
and negative charges
(electrons).
 positive charge ( + )
 negative charge ( - )
 When these charges flow in a
circuit, a current is produced.

to the other.
Electric current
 Electric current is the flow
of charged particles
(electrons, negative ions,
or positive ions) in a
specified directions

 Charge particles are often


referred to as charge
carriers
Electric current
 The amount of current (I) is
measured in terms of the
number of charges (q)
passing through a given
area along a conductor in a
unit of time (t).

 The electric current is the


charge per unit time.
The amount of charge that passes through the filament of a
light bulb in 2.0 seconds is 1.7 C. Find the (a) current in the
light bulb.

Potential Difference or Voltage
 Voltage is the electric pressure that causes electric
current.

 Voltage V is the work done per charge unit q when a


charge moved from one point to another.

 It is also known as electromotive force (emf) or


potential difference
Potential Difference or Voltage
 The relationship between charge, energy and voltage is:
Potential Difference or Voltage
 The unit of voltage is the joule per coulomb (J/C)
which is called volt (V).

 Voltage is measured by a voltmeter. It is connected


across the load being tested. Its positive terminal is
connected to the positive terminal of the voltage
source while its negative terminal is likewise
connected to negative terminal of the source.
Resistance
 Any opposition to the electron flow along a
conductor is called resistance.
 Good conductors or electricity have low resistance
(ex. metal objects)
 Poor conductors of electricity have high resistance
(ex. wood, plastic)
Resistance
 The SI Unit for resistance is Ohm (Ω)

 One Ohm (Ω) is that resistance in which a potential


difference of one volt produces a current of one
ampere.

 Electrical resistance is measured by an ohmmeter


Ohm’s Law
 Ohm’s Law states that the current in a circuit is directly
proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional
to the resistance. This is expressed by the equation:
Ohm’s Law
 Ohm’s Law states that the current through a conductor
with a constant resistance is directly proportional to
the voltage.
