EKEY CONCEPTS CHAPTER SUMMARY

The principles of conservation of energy and charge apply to electrical circuits.

• Electrical circuits• Conventional current and

electron flow• Current, electrical

potential difference, and resistance

• Kirchhoff’s voltage law • Series, parallel, and

mixed circuits• Kirchhoff’s current law• Power and power

consumption

• An electrical circuit contains an energy source, conductors, and a load. (11.1)• Ohm’s law describes the relationship between current, potential difference, and resistance in a circuit.

(11.1)• Kirchhoff’s voltage law states that in any closed circuit loop, the sum of the potential differences

through all the components must be zero. (11.2)• In a series circuit, the current is constant, the total resistance is the sum of the resistors, and the total

voltage of the battery equals the sum of the voltage drops across the resistors. (11.2)• Kirchhoff’s current law states that the current entering a junction must be equal to the current leaving

the junction. (11.3)• In a parallel circuit, the total current equals the sum of the currents through each branch, the total

resistance decreases as the number of branches increases, and the voltage is constant across each branch. (11.3)

• Power is the rate at which electrical energy is transferred. (11.4)• The power consumed by an electrical appliance can be determined. (11.4)

Properties of magnetic fields apply in nature and technology.

• Characteristics and properties of magnetic fields

• Oersted’s principle• The motor principle

• The law of magnetism states that like magnetic poles repel each other and unlike poles attract each other. (12.1)

• A magnetic field is the three-dimensional region around a magnet in which magnetic forces are exerted. (12.1)

• Oersted’s principle states that when a current moves through a conductor, it creates a magnetic field. (12.1)

• The motor principle states that a current-carrying conductor will experience a magnetic force as long as the conductor is not parallel to the magnetic field. (12.2)

• The factors that affect the strength of the magnetic force are the current, the magnetic field, and the length and orientation of the conducting wire. (12.2)

• The electric motor, loudspeaker, and particle accelerator all operate according to the motor principle. (12.3)

Electromagnetic induction is used to generate most of the electrical energy used today.

• Faraday’s law of induction • Lenz’s law• Operation of a generator• Generation of electrical

energy• Step-up and step-down

transformers

• The law of electromagnetic induction states that a changing magnetic field in the region of a conductor can induce an electric current in a closed loop. (13.1)

• Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction states that a changing magnetic field in the region of a closed-loop conductor will induce an electric current. (13.1)

• Lenz’s law states that an induced current and emf are in such a direction as to oppose the changethat produced them. (13.1)

• A generator converts mechanical energy to electrical energy. (13.2)• Methods of generating electrical energy involve using flowing water, burning fuels, or using nuclear,

wind, tidal, solar, or geothermal energy. (13.2)• Each method of generating electricity has an environmental impact. (13.2)• A transformer can step up (increase) or step down (decrease) voltage. (13.3)• There are precautions related to keeping the public safe from the hazards of high voltage. (13.3)

QuestionHow can you design and build a DC motor?

Task OverviewDC motors have revolutionized the way we live. An electric motor does not create any pollution and can operate for years without maintenance. In this task, you will use the concepts that you learned in this unit to design and build a DC motor. The purpose of your motor will be to lift as much weight as possible from the floor to a desk using 9.0 V. You will only be allowed to use materials found in a local hardware store.

You will need to know how to wire series and parallel circuits, to understand the motor principle, and to understand how a simple DC motor is designed. Remember to completely design your motor before you begin building.

Your teacher will provide you with a complete task description.
