ELECTRIC CURRENTS
SIMPLE CIRCUITWhat’s providing the energy?
What’s “moving” in the circuit?
What’s causing the movement?
e.m.f. = Electromotive Force
not a force, but the potential difference in volts
ELECTROMOTIVE FORCE (EMF)
CIRCUITS
If the potential difference of the light bulb is 12V, what is the potential difference of the source in theory?
What voltage would we measure in a lab?
Internal Resistance is always present!
RESISTORS
What does it mean for 2 resistors to be connected:
• In Series?• In Parallel?
Do you remember Kirchoff’s Laws?
KIRCHOFF’S LAWS
CONSERVATION OF ENERGY CONSERVATION OF CHARGE
OHM’S LAW + KIRCHOFF’S LAWS = EQUIVALENT RESISTANCE IN SERIES
OHM’S LAW + KIRCHOFF’S LAWS = EQUIVALENT RESISTANCE IN SERIES
OHM’S LAW + KIRCHOFF’S LAWS = EQUIVALENT RESISTANCE IN PARALLEL
OHM’S LAW + KIRCHOFF’S LAWS = EQUIVALENT RESISTANCE IN PARALLEL
