ElectricPotentialEnergy •Stored electrical energy •Ex. A batteryhas storedelectrical energy becausethe electronshavetheability to do workaftertheyleave thebattery.
Electrical Potential Difference •The changeinpotential energy per coulomb of charge. •Also calledvoltage •Measured involts(V) •Measured usingavoltmeter
Electric Charge •Abuildingup at the negativeterminalof a cell/battery which then flows from thisterminalas negativecharges repelone another.
Electric Current Flow
Electric Circuit •Acomplete pathway that allows electronsto flow. •Will transform electrical energy intoother formsof energy.
Sources of Electrical Energy: Source StaringEnergy Convertsto… Friction Rubbing ELECTRICAL ENERGY Piezoelectric crystals Pressure Photo- cells(solarcells) Solar/light electrochemical Thermocouples Heat Generators Mechanical Cells/Batteries Chemical
Electric Current •The amount of charge passing a givenpoint ina conductor •Measured •Measuredammeter per second. inamperes (A) usingan
Current Electricity •The continuousflow charge in a complete of circuit.
