    UNIT 3: ELECTRICITY

    Week 3, Term 3
    Current (I): the flow of electric charge
    (electrons) through an electric circuit
    Measured in Ampere (amp) (A)

    Reca
    RECAP
    Voltage (V): the pressure/ energy from an
    electrical circuit’s power source hat pushes
    charged electrons (current) through a

    p
    circuit or potential difference.
    Measured in volts (V)

    Resistance (R): is a measure of the


    opposition to current flow in an electrical
    circuit.
    Measured in ohms Ω
    OHM’S LAW:

    To find resistance
    RECAP EXERCISE:

    • Given a voltage 240 V and a current of 8 A. Calculate the resistance.

    • If the current is 8 A and the resistance is 2 Ω, what is the voltage?

    • If a battery in a circuit is 24 V and the resistance is 14 Ω, calculate the current.


    5.2: ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS
    LEARNING INTENTION

    • Students will learn about series and parallel circuits.


    KEY TERMS:

    • Series Circuit: all components of the circuit are connected


    one after another to form a single loop.

    • Parallel Circuits: has several branches, each branch having


    its own components.
    SERIES PARALLEL
    CIRCUITS CIRCUITS

    • The globes cannot be controlled • Each globe can have its own switch. Each
    individually with a switch. globe can be turned on or off
    independently of the others.
    • Currents stop flowing around them if any
    of the globes dies out. • Only one branch is affected if one globe
    dies out.
    • Adding more globes to the circuit reduces
    how brightly they glow. The voltage is • Adding extra globes will not affect their
    shared so each globe is duller than brightness. Each branch always receives
    before. the full supply voltage regardless of how
    many globes there are.
    EXERCISE:

    • A circuit consists of 4 light bulbs connected in series, the battery generates 12


    V. The flow of electrons is 1 A.
    Given that all lamps are the same.
    1. Draw the circuit.
    2. Calculate the voltage, current and resistance of each light bulb.
    EXERCISE:

    • A circuit consists of 3 light bulbs connected in parallel, the battery generates 12


    V. The flow of electrons is 3 A.
    Given that all lamps are the same.
    1. Draw the circuit.
    2. Calculate the voltage, current and resistance of each light bulb.
    CHECKPOINTS:

    Answer by true or false:


    1. Voltage is supplied by a resistor
    2. Too much voltage will cause a bulb to fail
    3. Current only moves clockwise
    4. Resistance is measured in Ohms
    5. In parallel, the light bulbs will glow stronger than in a series circuit.
    6. Our homes is an example of a series circuit.
    7. If one light bulb die out in a series circuit, the other light bulbs will stop working.
