Electrical Energy

Energy made available by the flow of
electric charge through a conductor.
Current
The
rate at which charge flows
through a circuit is known as the
current.

I total = I1 + I2 + I3 + ...
Parallel Circuits
 more

than one path.
Rules: -Two or more paths for current flow
-Voltage is the same across each component
-Sum of currents through each path = total current from
source
-TOTAL RESISTANCE = 1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + ...
-If one path broken, current flows through others
Series Circuit
 ONE

path for current to flow
Rules: -Same current flows through each part
-Total resistance = sum of individual resistances.
-Voltage applied = sum of individual voltage drops.
-Voltage drop across a resistor is directly proportional to
the size of the resistor.
-Circuit is broken = no current will flow.
Conductors
 materials
that permit electrons to flow
freely from particle to particle.
