Chapter 22-23 notes Electricity and circuits
Potential Difference • Look at your two objects, determine their net charges, and figure out what the potential difference between them is. The greater the potential difference, the quicker/easier electricity will flow.
What is the potential difference? • Think of a number line; how far apart are these two? • Will electricity flow? Easily?
What is the potential difference ? • Will electricity flow? Easily?
What is the potential difference? • Will electricity flow? Why or why not?
Terms • Current – like a river, if the water is moving, there is a current. If electricity can move (because there isa potential difference), there is a current. • Potential difference – also called voltage – describes how easily electricity will flow. The greater the difference, the easier it is for electricity to flow.
Superconductors? Currently not practical because they must be supercooled to work!
Formulas: R = V P = energy I time P = IV P = I2R (everywhere you see I, that means …)
Classwork Page 527 # 21-28,30 and 34 # 34 has mA (milli amperes) which we have to convert to amperes by multiplying by 1 X 10-3 Quiz tomorrow
