Presentation Transcript

  1. Grade 9 Science Unit 3: Electricity Chapter 9:Circuits are designed to control the transfer ofelectricalenergy.

  2. SeriesCircuits •There isonly onepath for the current totravel. •bulbs connected inseries; when onegoes out,they all go out.

  3. •As you addmorebulbs, brightness ofthe bulbs decreases. (voltageis affected) •Addingmorebulbs increases theresistance the thereby decreasingthetotal current inthecircuit.

  4. Ex.Christmaslights

  5. Parallel Circuits •Acircuit withseveral differentpaths. •Bulbs connected in parallel; when onegoes out,the others are unaffected.

  6. •As you addmorebulbs, the brightness isunaffected. (voltageis unaffected) •Resistance doesnot increase. •No current is createdor destroyed onlysplit up.

  7. •Addingresistorsinparallel will decreasethe total resistance. Thiswill increase thetotalcurrent leavingthe battery.

  10. Series vs. Parallel Circuits Series Parallel Lighthouse: lifespan Flashlight: V = I = = maintenance

  11. Technologies for Safe Use of Electricity

  12. •Circuit Breakers Act as a switchthatcan cut off all power coming intoyour house.

  13. •Fuses Contains a metallic conductorthat meltswhen excessive current heats it up.

  14. •Groundingterminals Allows excesscurrent to flow in to theground insteadof givingyou a shock.

  15. Electrical Energy •The abilityto do work •Measured inJoules (J)

  16. ElectricalPower •The rate of changein electrical energy •The rate at which done orenergyis transformed. work is •Measured inWatts(W)

  17. Electrical Energy Costs Depend on3factors: 1. 2. 3. Voltage drop Electrical current Time

  18. Power Rating •Ameasurementof how much electricalenergy an electrical deviceconsumes foreverysecond it isinuse.

  19. Calculating Energy Consumption (J) E=energytransferred P=power(W) t=time(s) E P t
