Unit 5 – Electricity, Magnetism and Waves Physical Science 2013-14 Semester 2
4/15/14 • Entry Task • Describe everything you know about electricity, magnetism and waves. • Please turn in your reflections TOMORROW for the Unit 4 Test. • HW Read pages 382-388, answer # 1-8 on page 388. Due Friday 4/18/14
Today’s Agenda • Notes on Electricity • Video on Electricity
4/15/14 • Exit Task • Describe charges and how you could create an attraction between two objects based on charges. • What charges would repel each other?
4/16/14 • Entry Task • Define electric current, electric circuit and voltage.
Today’s Agenda • Notes on Electricity • Please staple your MIT movie notes to these notes and turn them in. • Phet simulations + Worksheet • You will be working with the person seated next to you. PLEASE WRITE BOTH NAMES ON THE WORKSHEET. • Decide who will be recorder for page 1 and page 2.
A neat analogy to help understand these terms is a system of plumbing pipes. The voltage is equivalent to the water pressure, the current is equivalent to the flow rate, and the resistance is like the pipe size. • http://science.howstuffworks.com/environmental/437-green-gadgets-the-kill-a-watt-video.htm
Charge • whether two charges attract or repel depends on whether they have the same or opposite sign • unit of measurement for charge is the coulomb (C) • one electron has a charge of 0.00000000000000000016 coulombs
Current • comes from the motion of electrons • is the rate at which electrons flow past a point on a circuit • measured in units called amperes, or amps (A) current
Voltage • a measure of electric potential energy • voltage is an electrical force • measured in volts (V) • adifference in voltage provides the energy that causes current to flow
Resistance • the resistance to the flow of electrical current • measured in ohms • the resistance of electricity creates heat
Electricity and Circuits (8:35) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2monVkCkX4&feature=related Circuits • current only flows when there is a complete and unbroken path, or a closed circuit
series circuit • current can only take one path, so the current is the same at all points in the circuit
parallel circuit • the current can take more than one path • each branch works independently
4/16/14 • Exit Task • Explain the analogy of a water system and electrical circuit using the words: voltage, current and resistance.
4/17/14 • Entry Task • Watch last portion of video. • Finish notes. • Explain the difference between a series circuit and a parallel circuit. • REMINDER: HW Read pages 382-388, answer # 1-8 on page 388. Due Friday 4/18/14
