PPT-Current Electricity Lesson 1: Basics of Electric Current

NOTE I will be plugging grades now if you have tasks not turned in including projects please turn them in ASAP before the end of the Second Period today Those who have finished all tasks can move on to todays tasks. and . Magnetism. Module 6. What is electricity?. The collection or flow of electrons in the form of an electric charge. What is . static. electricity?. When two objects rub against each other electrons transfer and build up on an object causing it to have a different charge from its surroundings.. By: Eman Mohammed Azizi. Introduction. . When you hear the word “electricity”, what comes to your mind? Maybe lightning, light bulbs, or even electronics. Well, for lightning to become lightning, or for a light bulb to become a light bulb, they need moving charges. The energy from the moving charges creates . Circuits. Electromagnets. Chapter 17 and 18. How can you produce electricity?.... right now!. The Law of Electric Charge. Like charges repel – push . away. Opposites attract. Electric Field. A region around a charged object in which an electric force is exerted on another charged object.. Comparing shocks from static electricity and electric currents is like comparing apples and oranges, they are similar but quite different at the same time.. Every year many people are injured and sometimes killed from electrocution as even small amounts of electric current can be lethal. . The next few slides are not on your note. They are just interesting. Electric Fish, Eels, and . Rays. For humans, we know that water and electricity . are . not good to mix. For some animals, this safety concern about electricity is not a problem. In fact, they survive because they can use electricity in the . A . force. is a push or pull exerted on an object.. Energy. is the ability to do work or cause change.. Potential energy . is the stored energy that results from the position or shape of an object.. Electric . Power, AC, and DC Electricity. Key Question:. How much does electricity cost and what do you pay for?. *Students read Section 20.3 AFTER Investigation 20.3. Electric . Power, AC, and DC Electricity. SPS10. Students will investigate the properties of electricity and magnetism.. Investigate static . electricity in terms of: friction, conduction, and induction.. Explain the flow of electrons in terms of:. grounding. electric current. circuit. resistor. Lesson 4 Splash. What is static electricity?. Lesson 4 a. How can electricity flow?. A circuit is formed when an electric current passes through an unbroken path of conductors. . Electric Current:. RECALL: In static electricity, an electric charge . stays . in one area. . In current electricity an electric charge moves through conductors along a path. Its . electrons. that move NOT . Electricity Electric Current Currents are the rate that electricity flows thru a wire 2 types of currents: Alternating Current (AC) electricity flows back-n-forth like in a house Direct Current (DC) electricity flows in one direction like in a battery Comparing shocks from static electricity and electric currents is like comparing apples and oranges, they are similar but quite different at the same time.. Every year many people are injured and sometimes killed from electrocution as even small amounts of electric current can be lethal. . Static Electricity. Static Electricity-. accumulation of excess electric charges on an obj. pg. 194. Protons = + electrical charge. Electrons= - electrical charge . Example of electron transfer: . 17.1 . Electric charge and force. Chapter 17: electricity. Electric Charge. Electricity:. force . created by a difference in charges . (+, -) . due to gained or lost electrons. . Protons (+) are trapped in the nucleus, so moving electrons (-) are responsible for electricity.
