  1. CAN YOU GET IT TO LIGHT? • Using only ONE BATTERY, ONE LIGHTBULB ASSEMBLY and ONE PAPERCLIP, see HOW MANY WAYS your group can get the lightbulb to light! • DRAW a quick sketch of each way. • The TEAM that gets the MOST ways gets CANDY!

  2. HOW DID IT LIGHT?

  3. Electric Circuits Physical Science

  4. Electric Circuit • A complete, unbroken path of conductors through which electric charges (electrons) can flow creating a CURRENT of energy.

  5. WHAT IS AN ELECTRIC CURRENT? An electric current is the constant FLOW of subatomic (-) particles called electronsmoving through wires and other components. - + In which direction does the CURRENT FLOW? from the Negativetothe Positive terminal inside the circuit.

  6. Features of a Circuit • Circuits provide a flow of electrical energy to devices/objects connected in the circuit. • A circuit has a source of electrical energy AC = Alternating Current (2 Directions) = PLUG DC = Direct Current (1 Direction) = BATTERY • Circuits are connected by a complete LOOP of conducting wires.

  7. TWO TYPES OF CIRCUITS PARALLEL SERIES = Battery or Electricity R = Resistor = Lightbulb!

  8. Series Circuit • In a series circuit, there is only one path for the current to take. • Advantages – simple to design and quick and easy build, few materials needed • Disadvantages – If one light goes out, they all go out; as more lights are added, they become dimmer. TOTAL Energy is shared (Volts/Voltage).

  9. Parallel Circuit • In a parallel circuit, there are several paths for current to take. • Advantages – if there is a break in one branch, charges/energy still flows; switches can be added to turn on different parts; All objects receive same volts. • Disadvantages – More difficult and complicated to assemble – takes more time. More materials needed so more expensive. Circuit Comparison
