  1. Circuit Symbols: Battery Resistor Light-bulb Switch Wire

  2. Three general types of circuits: Closed Circuit - There is a complete loop with wires going from one side of the battery through a resistor(s) to the other side of the battery. Open Circuit - There is not a complete loop. Short Circuit - There is a complete loop, but it does not contain any resistors. Only Working Circuit

  3. There are two ways to put resistors into a circuit. 1. Resistors can be in series OR 2. Resistors can be in parallel

  4. Resistors in Series is like a trip to Costco

  5. Resistors in Series (like a trip to Costco) • Resistors are considered to be in series if the current must go through all of the resistors in order. • The current (amps) through all resistors in series is the same. • The voltage across resistors in series may be different • The rate of electron flow (or current) is determined by which resistor? The resistor with the largest amount of ohms.

  6. R1 R2 R3 Combining (adding) Resistors Series Resistors Itotal = I1 = I2 = I3 Req = Rtotal = R1 + R2 + R3 Voltage is calculated with Ohm’s Law Q Amps

  7. Resistors in Parallel is like a trip to Vons

  8. Resistors in Parallel (like a trip to Vons) • Resistors are considered to be in parallel if the current is shared between multiple resistors. • The current (amps) through all resistors in parallel may be different. • The voltage across all parallel resistors is the same. • Will a resistor with a large resistance have more or less current through it then a resistor with a small resistance? The resistor with a large resistance will have a smaller current then the resistor with the smaller resistance.

  9. Combining (adding) Resistors Parallel Resistors Current is calculated with Ohm’s Law Vtotal = V1 = V2 = V3

  10. Example 1: A circuit has three 8.0 W, 5.0 W and a 12 W resistors in series along with a 24 V battery. • Draw the circuit. • Calculate the total resistance of the circuit. • Calculate the total current through the circuit. • What is the current through each resistor? • Calculate the voltage across each resistor.

  11. Example 2: A circuit has three resistors: 6.0 W, 4.0 W and a 12 W resistors in parallel along with a 24 V battery. • Draw the circuit. • Calculate the total resistance of the circuit. • Calculate the total current through the circuit. • What is the voltage across each resistor? • Calculate the current across each resistor.

  12. Electrical Outlets • Electrical outlets provide electric potential (or the voltage) for any appliance plugged in to it. • In the United States ALL outlets provide 120 V (in Europe it is 240 V)

  13. Light bulbs are made to be the only appliance plugged into a socket. • The power rating of a light bulb (25 W or 100 W…) is as if that bulb was the only bulb plugged in to a 120 V power source. • The resistance of a light bulb is calculated by knowing the power rating and the voltage (120 V) • Current and actual voltage used by a light bulb depends on the circuit.

  14. Example 3: What will the power output be if an American-made 45 W light bulb is plugged in to a 310 V power source? • Using 120 V, calculate the resistance of the light bulb. • Using the resistance and the voltage of the new source, calculate the new power

  15. As more identical resistors R are added to the parallel circuit shown, the total resistance between points P and Q … • Increases • Remains the same • Decreases R P Q …

  16. As more identical resistors R are added to the parallel circuit shown, the total resistance between points P and Q … 1. Increases 2. Remains the same 3. decreases R P Q … Q

  32. Charge flows through a light bulb. Suppose a wire is connected across the bulb as shown. When the wire is connected… • All the charge continues to flow through the bulb, and the bulb stays lit. • Half the charge flows through the wire, the other half continues through the bulb. • Essentially all the charge flows through the wire and the bulb goes out. • None of these. Q

  33. Analyze the circuit: A) Calculate RtotalB) Calculate the current through each resistor.C) Calculate the voltage through each resistor. Parallel: 16 120V 32 32 16

  34. Series: R123-4=8+16 R1234=24 16 120V 8

  38. Another way to do the problem (without the chart) I=V/R I=120v/24 I=5 amps 120V 5amps 24

  39. V=IR V=(5)(16) V=80volts 16 80volts 5amps 120V V=IR V=(5)(8) V=40volts 8 40volts 120volts

  41. When the series circuit shown is connected, Bulb A is brighter than Bulb B. If the positions of the bulbs were reversed… • Bulb A would again be brighter • Bulb B would be brighter • They would be equal brightness

  42. When the series circuit shown is connected, Bulb A is brighter than Bulb B. If the positions of the bulbs were reversed… • Bulb A would again be brighter • Bulb B would be brighter • They would be the same The bulbs are connected in series, so the same current passes through both of them. Different brightnesses indicate different filament resistances. Bulb A is NOT brighter because it is “first in line” for the current of the battery! After all, electrons deliver the energy, and they flow from negative to positive --- in the opposite direction!
