  1. Electrical Energy and Circuits N. Sassaman SAMS - 2013

  2. - Electric Charge and Static Electricity Electric Charge http://www.colorado.edu/physics/2000/waves_particles/wavpart2.html • Charges that are the same repel each other. Charges that are different attract each other.

  3. - Electric Charge and Static Electricity Electric Force • An electric field is a region around a charged object where the object’s electric force is exerted on other charged objects.

  4. - Electric Current Flow of Electric Charges • Electric current is the continuous flow of electric charges through a material. http://www.rkm.com.au/animations/animation-electrical-circuit.html

  5. - Electric Current An Electric Circuit • An electric circuit is a complete, unbroken path through which electric charges can flow. • http://www.thetech.org/exhibits/online/topics/12a.html (Read information on a basic circuit, but do not worry about the associated Activity 1).

  6. - Electric Circuits Basic parts of a Circuit Simple symbols are used to diagram a circuit.

  7. - Electric Current Conductors and Insulators • Use the website below to explore the difference between conductors and insulators (at the atomic level). • http://www.thetech.org/exhibits/online/topics/13a_flash.html • Be sure to click on the ‘Explore Some More’ button to see an example of a lab that tests for conductors and insulators (YOU will be writing a lab just like this one!!)

  8. - Electric Current Resistance http://www.thetech.org/exhibits/online/topics/13a_flash.html • Two factors that affect the resistance of water flowing in a pipe are diameter and length. The diameter and length of a wire also affect resistance in a circuit.
