BatteryBattery
• Produces electricity by converting chemical energy into electrical energy
• Made up of electrochemical cells which are made from materials called electrodes and electrolyte
• Electric cells can be dry (paste-like) or wet (liquid) cells

ThermocouplesThermocouples• Produces electrical energy from thermal
energy• Releases electric charges as a result of
temperature differences • Used in thermometers in cars to show engine
temp. • Engine gets warmer, increases flow of
charge, moving charge operate gauge (also in ovens and gas furnaces)

PhotocellsPhotocells
• When light with a certain amount of energy shines on a metal surface, electrons are emitted from the surface, electron routed through a wire to create a constant flow of electric charge

Electric CurrentElectric Current
• CircuitCircuit:: complete path through which electric charge can flow
• CurrentCurrent ( (II):): amount of charge that passes a given point at a given timeUnitUnit ofof currentcurrent:: Ampere (A)
**Potential Difference is **Potential Difference is required to produce an required to produce an electric current**electric current**

ResistanceResistance
• ResistanceResistance (R): (R): opposition of the flow of electric charge
UnitUnit:: Ohm (Ω)- Different wires have
different resistances- All devices have some
resistance- Depends somewhat on
temperature: Resistance increases with temperature

Ohm’s LawOhm’s Law
• The current in a wire (I) is equal to the voltage (V) divided by the resistance (R)
Current = Voltage I = V
Resistance R
Amperes = Volts

Calculating ResistanceCalculating Resistance• In a Series circuit, total resistance is calculated by
the equation:
R = R1 + R2 + R3…
• In a Parallel circuit, total resistance is calculated by the equation:

CurrentCurrent
• DirectDirect CurrentCurrent (DC): (DC): current flow in the same direction (dry cells and batteries)
• AlternatingAlternating CurrentCurrent (AC): (AC): amount of current changes in time and reverses direction regularly
• Current in your home changes direction 120 times every second

1. There is a 22-ohm resistance in the heating element of a coffee pot. It is plugged into a 110 Volt circuit. How much current passes?
R= 22Ω I = V
V = 110V R
I=? I = 110 V
22 Ω
I = 5 A

2. Three lamps with 40,60, and 80 ohms of resistance are connected in parallel to a 120 volt circuit.
a) What current flows through each lamp?
b) What is the total resistance of the 3 lamps?
c) What is the total current used by the 3 lamps?
Given:Given:
V = 120 V

a) What current flows through each lamp?a) What current flows through each lamp?
Lamp 1: I = V/RI = 120V/40 Ω = 3.0 A
Lamp 2: I = V/RI = 120V/60 Ω = 2.0A
Lamp 3: I = V/RI = 120V/80 Ω = 1.5 A

b) What is the total resistance of the 3 lamps?b) What is the total resistance of the 3 lamps?
Given: R1=40 Ω R2=60 Ω R3=80 Ω
Since the circuit is in parallel, we use the equation:
1/R1+1/R2+1/R3 = 1/40Ω + 1/60Ω +1/80Ω
= 0.054Ω
Then divide: 1/0.054Ω = 18.5Ω
Total resistance = Total resistance = 18.518.5ΩΩ
