  1. RESISTANCE AND OHM’S LAW

  2. RESISTANCE:property of any material that slows down the flow of electrons and converts electrical energy into other forms of energy EXAMPLE: the filament of a light bulb • highly resistance filament causes the electrons’ electrical energy to be converted into heat and light energy • The wire connecting the battery to the bulb has little resistance, which means that the electrons travelling through the wire lose almost no electrical energy RESISTANCE and THE FLOW OF ELECTRONS

  3. VOLTAGE: the difference in potential energy per unit of charge between 2 points in a circuit • Voltage is directly proportional to current • The greater the voltage, the greater the current RESISTANCE AND CURRENT

  4. Studied the relationship between voltage and current • Discovered that resistance is an important factor that can affect current • Different objects can have the same potential different BUT different currents depending on the amount of resistance • the greater the resistance, the lower the current! Georg ohm

  5. Ohm was able to use the amount of current that a voltage produces to calculate the circuit’s resistance. ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE: the ratio of voltage to current OHM (): the unit of measurement for electrical resistance OHM’S LAW: the mathematical relationship comparing voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R) Ohm’s law

  6. What is the resistance of a flashlight bulb if there is a current of 0.75A through the bulb when connected to a 3.0V battery? Practice question 1:

  7. We add prefixes to indicate the magnitude of value! • Milli(m) = one thousandanth • 25mA  25/1000 A  0.025A • Kilo (k) = one thousand • 5.0k 5000 • Mega (M) = 1 million • 12MV  12 000 000V HINT: convert the prefixes BEFORE you do your calculations! Ohm’s law (continued)

  8. What is the voltage across a 12k load that allows a current of 6.0mA? Practice question 2:

  9. Method 1: Experimentally measure the resistance • Use a voltmeter to measure the voltage across the load and an ammeter to measure the current through the load • Use Ohm’s Law to calculate the resistance Method 2: Use an ohmmeter to measure resistance • The meter uses its internal battery to provide a voltage across the load • It then measures the current leaving the battery and calculates the resistance Determining the resistance

  10. REVIEW: Any electrical component that has electrical resistance slows down current and transforms electrical energy into other forms of energy! • Resistor: an electrical component that has a specific resistance • Can be used to control current or potential difference in a circuit to provide the correct voltage and current to the other components of the circuit • Symbolized by The resistor

  11. When a charge encounters resistance, some of the electrical energy that is stored will be transformed into a different type of energy like heat! To be clear, this electrical energy isn’t actually lost. It’s just been turned into a new kind of energy!

  12. Resistors are marked with coloured bands that indicate the resistance on a scale from 0-9. • First band: 1st digit of the resistance • Second band: 2nd digit of the resistance • Third band: the multiplier OR power of 10 factor of the resistance (the # of 0s that follow the second digit) • Fourth band (optional): the % of accuracy between the indicated value and actual value • Gold = 5% • Silver = 10% • No colour = 20% Resistor colour code

  13. What is the resistance of the above resistor? Practice question 3:
