ELECTRICITY----STATIC AND
CURRENT
What is happening in these pictures?
STATIC ELECTRICITY
A BUILD UP OF CHARGE( electrons ) from one
object to another, without a flow of charge.
3 ways to create static electricity:
1.conduction: build up of charge by direct
contact between 2 objects
Van de graph
machine
2. Induction: build up of charge by force of
attraction or repulsion WITHOUT touching one
object to the other ( through open space )
Balloon Demo with Salt ( sugar ):
An electroscope demonstrates
induction
Static electricity by friction
3. Friction: build up of charge by
rubbing one object against another.

Current electricity
• Current is a flow of electric charges. It is not a build up of
charge that is discharged.
• All current elec. needs a circuit—a pathway for electric
charges to flow..
• All circuits must have at least 3 parts :
1) wires, 2) a source and 3) a load(s).
Parts of a circuit
wires
Load
Source of electricity
Conductors
• Conductor: a material that easily allows the
flow of electric charges.
• It gives very little resistance to the flow of
charge. ( metals – copper, aluminum , etc )
Insulators
• Insulators: do not easily allow for the flow of
electric charges through them.
• Ex: glass, plastic, certain rubber materials,
cloth.

Law of electric Charges
• Like Charges repel; Unlike charges attract.
2 main types of circuits
• 1. Series Circuit: only 1 path for the electric
charges to flow
• 2. Parallel Circuit: has More than one path for
the electric charges to flow.
Series circuit
Now, let’s draw it in your notes:
Resistance
• This is what “slows down” the movement of
the electric charges … so they hit each other
more…
• What do you think could ADD resistance in a
circuit ?
• Add more loads to the same circuit
• Heat
• Longer wires
• Thinner wires
Circuit Mini Lab
• Take a sheet of computer paper.
• You have 4 drawings, 4 circuits to build, and 4
questions to answer… Let’s do the drawings
together, then you can build, and answer the
questions:
• You Label: wires, source, load, direction,
terminals, switch
• 1.
3.
• 2.
4.
2. Parallel Circuit: has more than 1 path for
electric charges to flow, so if 1 load goes “out,” the other
loads will still work !
Draw a parallel circuit

Alternating Current - AC
• Electric charges move back and forth—homes
and buildings.
Ex: 60 V one way and 60 V the other way,= 120 Volts
Let’s recap:
• 2 types circuits 2 types current direction

2 TYPES:
A)DRY CELLS
B)WET CELLS
Dry cells have pastelike electrolytes, and
these are the batteries
you are used to using.
Wet cells have liquid
electrolytes. ( car
batteries)
• Electrolytes- liquids/acids
that cause a chem. reaction,
that releases electric
charges
• Batteries (usually) are DCdirect current- where the
electrons flow only in 1
direction.

WHAT IS IT?
The # of electrons. the rate
at which charges pass a
given point
The opposition to the
flow of electrons; High
resistance has more
opposition to the flow
The energy of each
electron.
Temperature
Length Wire
Type of wireCopper-good conductor;
decrease R; Iron- poor
conductor; increase R
energy
Volts
Low voltage = little
energy.
4 THINGS THAT AFFECT R:
High Voltage = High
Thin/thick wires
More electrons=more ↓ Thickness = ↑ R
current;
↑ Temperature =↑ R
less electrons = less
↑ Length = ↑ R
current
Ohm’s law
I = V/ R
Current = voltage/ resistance.
