  2. the rate at which charge passes a point Current I is _____________________________________________ Ex. 22 C of charge pass a point in 4.0 seconds. Find I. I = Units: 1 coulomb/second = 1 _______________ 1 C/s = 1 ____ So the answer can be written I = ________

  3. Physics Reference Tables, page 3: top

  4. the rate at which charge passes a point Current I is _____________________________________________ I = Δq / t Ex. 22 C of charge pass a point in 4.0 seconds. Find I. Δq / t I = = 22 C / 4.0 s = 5.5 C/s Units: 1 coulomb/second = 1 _______________ 1 C/s = 1 ____ So the answer can be written I = ________ ampere A 5.5 A

  5. fundamental A Amperes are ______________________ units. (m___sk) Coulombs are ______________________ units What is a coulomb written in terms of fundamental units? derived 1 C = = A·s Ex. How much charge passes a point if the current at the point is __________ ampere for ________seconds? 0.25 3.6 I = Δq / t Δq / 3.6 s 0.25 A = 0.90 A·s = Δq 0.90 C = Δq

  6. Don't forget that the amount of charge Dq passing a point can be written with units of __________________ or __________________________________ . The conversion from one unit to the other is found on pg 1 of PhysRT: 1 C = _______________________ e or 1 e = ________________________ C coulombs, C elementary charges, e Ex. How many electrons pass a point in 2.5 seconds if the current at that point is 0.50 A?

  8. Don't forget that the amount of charge Dq passing a point can be written with units of __________________ or __________________________________ . The conversion from one unit to the other is found on pg 1 of PhysRT: 1 C = _______________________ e or 1 e = ________________________ C coulombs, C elementary charges, e 6.25 x 1018 1.60 x 10-19 Ex. How many electrons pass a point in 2.5 seconds if the current at that point is 0.50 A? I = Δq / t Δq / 2.5 s 0.50 A = 1.25 C = Δq 6.25 x 1018 e 1 C 7.8 x 1018 1.25 C x ---------------------- = e

  9. at least To have current, you need _________________ 2 things. A potential difference a voltage • ___________________________ (aka ___________ source) neg. (-) _________side or _______ potential cell pos. (+) a/ a ______: _________side or _______ potential low high wire wire two _________________ different metals voltage The amount of ____________ depends on the metals used. more than 1 b/ a battery = _______________cell: more voltage more cells  _________________ generator c/ a ______________ :

  12. "direct" Batteries supply a constant V  _____________ current  _______ DC I charge moves in ___________________ 1 direction only t Generators supply a varying V  ________________ current  ______ alternating AC I one direction charge moves in _________________ t other direction charge moves in __________________ DC In Regents Physics, we will mostly study _____ , but the basic ideas are also valid for ______. AC

  13. Edison tried to prove that AC was more dangerous than DC by electrocuting animals. Later, he helped develop the electric chair. 1903 Topsy dies.

  16. complete 2. A ________________ circuit Using circuit symbols: battery Ex: V - + wire switch light open no Switch up  ___________ circuit  ________ current "complete" Close the switch  ____________ circuit  _____________  __________ flows  ______________ closed current charge Can you have voltage without current? Can you have current without voltage? yes no

  17. A Current I is measured with an _________________, which is often part of a DMM (______________________________ ). Its symbol is: ammeter digital multimeter A wire wire In an electrical circuit, ammeters are connected __________________ . This means the circuit must be ________________ and the _______________ must be _____________ into it: "in series" ammeter opened up inserted Circuit _________ ammeter: w/o with Circuit _______ ammeter: circuit part 1 circuit part 1 circuit part 2 circuit part 3 circuit part 2 circuit part 3

  19. V Voltage V is measured with a _________________, which is often part of a _________. Its symbol is: voltmeter DMM V In an electrical circuit, voltmeters are connected __________________ . This means the circuit is _______ opened up , but the _______________ must be connected _____________ two points in the circuit: NOT "in parallel" voltmeter across Circuit: circuit part 1 circuit part 1 circuit part 2 circuit part 3 circuit part 2 circuit part 3

  20. V A Ammeters measure the current that passes ___________ a part of the circuit, in other words, the amount of ___________ each second that passes ____________ it. Voltmeters measure the ____________________________ from one side of a part of the circuit to the other side. This is called the voltage _____________ the circuit part. It represents the ____________ or _____________ needed to force each ________________ of charge through. through charge through potential difference "across" energy work coulomb in parallel In symbols: I circuit part in series pot. diff. affect the Ideally, neither ammeter nor voltmeters ______________ ________________________________ , but in reality they do. circuit in which they are placed
