ELECTRICITY, MAGNETISM, and EARTH SCIENCE MR.

ARJUNE ANTIVO LUMAYNO OBJECTIVES Understand how Coulombs law is use as a unit of charge. Identify the difference among methods of charging and types of Electric current. Discuss the history of magnetism: its susceptibility and application. Define Earth Science and differentiate the branches of Earth Science. HOME ACTIVITY Collect and photocopy your 3 consecutive electric and/or water monthly bills from your home. Make a bar graph comparing the kwh consumed and payments. What is an electric current? It is the amount of charge passing through a point per unit time. Also known as charge in motion. When charges flow from one point to another. Symbol (I) and measured in terms of amperes TYPES OF ELECTRIC CURRENT Direct Current (DC) Alternating Current (AC) Alessandro Volta (1745-1827) Italian physicist, known for his pioneering work in electricity. born in Como and educated in the public schools In 1774 he became professor of physics at the Royal School in Como, he devised the electrophorus - an instrument that produced charges of static electricity. Studied atmospheric electricity and devising experiments such as the ignition of gases by an electric spark in a closed vessel. Alessandro Volta (1745-1827) 1779 - he became professor of physics at the University of Pavia, a chair he occupied for 25 years. 1800 - developed the so-called voltaic pile, a forerunner of the electric battery, In honor of his work in the field of electricity, Napoleon made him a count and the electrical unit known as the volt was named in his honor.

Andr Marie Ampre (1775-1836) French scientist known for his important contributions to the study of electrodynamics son of a Lyon city official born in Polmieux-au-Mont-d'Or, near Lyon. The ampere, the unit of electric current, is named after him. Collection of Observations on Electrodynamics, 1822 Theory of Electrodynamic Phenomena, 1826 Andr Marie Ampre (1775-1836) invented the astatic needle, which made possible the modern astatic galvanometer He was the first to show that two parallel conductors carrying currents traveling in the same direction attract each other and, if traveling in opposite directions, repel each other.

Georg Simon Ohm (1787-1854) German physicist best known for his research on electrical currents born in Erlangen and educated at the University of Erlangen 1833 to 1849 he was director of the Polytechnic Institute of Nrnberg 1852 until his death he was professor of experimental physics at the University of Munich. Georg Simon Ohm (1787-1854) His formulation of the relationship between current, electromotive force, and resistance, known as Ohm's law, is the basic law of current flow. The unit of electrical resistance was named the ohm in his honor. ELECTRIC CURRENT Two conditions in order for an electric current to exist between two points: There must be a conducting path that will allow the flow of charge. Copper A lamp Electric stove Any electrical appliances There must be a potential difference between the two points. OHMS LAW The relationship among current, resistance, and potential difference. The ratio of potential difference and current is constant equal to the resistance.

I = V/R Ohm's law states that the amount of current flowing in a circuit made up of pure resistances is directly proportional to the electromotive force impressed on the circuit and inversely proportional to the total resistance of the circuit. EXERCISES A light bulb has a resistance of 240 . Find the current in it when it is placed in a 120 V circuit? The current in the coil of an 8 loudspeaker is 0.5 A. Find the voltage across its terminals. ASSIGNMENT Three resistors, 2 ohm, 4 ohm, and 6 ohm, respectively, are connected in series through a 10-V source. Find the following: a. I1 b. I2 c. I3 d. IT e. RT f. P dissipated by the circuit Consider the given resistors and the source of electricity in no. 1, the above resistors are connected in parallel. Find the following: a. I1 b. I2 c. I3 d. IT e. RT f. P dissipated by the circuit
