Electricity & Types of Circuits- Page 4
• 7.4- TSW DESCRIBE DIFFERENT FORMS OF ENERGY (ELECTRICITY).
• Electricity- the flow of electrons between points having different electrical charges
• Direction of Electron Flow- Out of negative end, into positive end– In order for electrons to flow, they need a
source (like a battery), a path (a conductor), and this path must form a complete circuit (like a loop)
![Page 2: Electricity & Types of Circuits- Page 4](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062222/568163d7550346895dd52798/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
6.14- TSW DEMONSTRATE THE PROPERTIES THAT CAN BE USED TO IDENTIFY MATTER: CONDUCTIVITY.• Conductor- Material through which electrons
can easily flow; conduct electricity well– Most metals are good conductors ex: copper, gold,
silver– Current- the flow of electricity in a conductor
• Insulator- Material in which electrons are slowed down; keep electricity from moving– Insulators are common: most plastics, wood, glass,
leather, etc.– Resistance- The opposition to the movement of
electric charges flowing through a material. • An electric current will always flow the path of
least resistance

Types of Circuits
• Circuit- a complete path consisting of electronic elements (conductors, resistors, etc.) through which electric current moves
• Switch- A device used to open and close an electric circuit
• Simple Circuit- A circuit containing the minimum things needed to have a functioning electric circuit. A simple circuit requires three (3) things:1. A source of electricity or voltage (ex. battery or electrical
outlet) 2. A conductive path which would allow for the movement of
charges. (ex. wire) 3. An electrical resistance (resistor), or load; loosely defined as
any object that uses electricity to do work (ex. a light bulb, electric motor, heater, speaker, etc.)

Broken Simple Circuit = No light

Types of Circuits• Series Circuit- A simple loop with all
loads connected in a line– Bulbs share the voltage of the battery
• Ex. If the battery is 9V, and there are two bulbs, each bulb gets 4.5 volts
– If one light is disconnected, then the other(s) loses power.

Types of Circuits• Parallel Circuit- Two loops, both
connected to the battery, each with its own load– Bulbs have the full voltage of the battery. – Bulbs in the parallel circuit will be brighter
than those in the series circuit.– If one light is disconnected, then the other(s)
remains powered.

Packet 16, Page 4• Static electricity- build up of
charges on an object– Rub two materials together– Electrons pulled off one surface,
relocated on other surface • Lose electrons + charge; gain
electrons - charge• +/- attract; -/- repel; +/+ repel
• Static discharge- spark/shock; the loss of static electricity as electric charges move off an object in an attempt to become neutrally charged

Track A: Circular Go-Kart track vs.Series electrical circuit
• If you add another car to the Go-Kart track, what do you think will happen to the speed of the other cars?– They will slow down because they don’t have any
where else to go.• What will happen to the green car if the orange car
breaks down on the track?– The green car will have to stop, because there is no
way for it to go around.
![Page 10: Electricity & Types of Circuits- Page 4](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062222/568163d7550346895dd52798/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Track B: Figure 8 Go-Kart track vs. Parallel electrical circuit
• If you add another car to the track, what do you think will happen to the speed of the other cars? – They will stay at the same speed because they
have more options of where they can go. • What will happen to the green car if the orange car
breaks down on the track? – The green car will keep going, because there are
other ways that it can keep driving around.

• Electric current flow is necessary for electric shock, but only happens from places of voltage differences– both the bird's feet are at the same voltage
• Most birds perch on electrical wires perfectly safely—but there are some dangers.
• In particular, large birds such as eagles have wingspans wide enough that they occasionally brush two parallel wires with their wingtips, which completes the electrical circuit and allows electricity to run through the bird's body, killing them. – This is a serious problem in certain desert areas where the birds
use the electrical poles for nesting, due to limited other options.

Symbols- Circuit diagrams- Page 5
If Circuits A and C are the same, and
Circuits B and E are the same, what is
the symbol for: 1). wire, 2). light bulb,
3). battery, 4). switch?

Circuit Diagram Symbols- Page 5• 7.17- TSW IDENTIFY AND
SKETCH THE COMPONENTS OF AN ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT.
• Wires are shown as straight lines between the different circuit symbols
• Cell vs. Battery– Single battery = cell– Two or more cells
connected together = battery

Circuit Diagrams• Use circuit symbols instead of drawing each
component in the circuit. • Always make the wires straight lines
– don't be tempted to make them wiggly– the whole point is to make it easier to see what is
connected to what• Below: A simple circuit– 1 cell, 1 light, 2 wires.
Draw the circuit diagram (using symbols), include arrows to show the direction of electron flow.
TIP: Draw the circuit symbols first, and then
add all the wires.

Practice with CircuitsDO NOT unscrew the light bulbs to
make this work!!• With your group, create a series circuit
and a parallel circuit.• Challenge: Try to get a light bulb to light
using only:– 1 wire– 1 bulb– 1 battery

Bellwork: Wednesday 5/30/20121. In a series circuit with three
bulbs, adding another bulb will• make the nearest bulb
brighter• make some of the bulbs
dimmer• make all the bulbs brighter• make all the bulbs dimmer
2. In a parallel circuit with three bulbs,• the bulbs must all be located
on the same branch• there is only one path for the
current to take• current from each bulb has its
own path• the overall resistance
increases if a new branch is added.
1. In a series circuit, adding another bulb will make all the bulbs dimmer!
2. In a parallel circuit, current from each bulb has its own path!
