An Atom
Everything is made of
atoms which contain
Positive particles called
Protons and Negative
particles called Electrons.
An atom will usually have
the same number of
positives and negatives.
This makes the atom
Neutral.
What is Electricity?
Electric Current
An electric current is a flow
of electric charge.
In electric circuits this
charge is often carried by
moving electrons in a wire.
It can also be carried by
ions in an electrolyte, or by
both ions and electrons such
as in a plasma.
Ohm's law
Ohms law states that the current I through a given
conductor is directly proportional to the potential
difference V between its end points.

A 75 ohm circuit is powered by a 110-Volt energy
source. What is the current flowing in this circuit?
First we identify the information that we are given in
the problem:
resistance R = 75 ohms
voltage V = 110 volts
Need to know I amps
110 V = I x 75 ohms (rearrange formula)

Electrical Charge
Electrically Neutral
Objects with no net charge are said to be electrically
neutral, has equal amounts (+) and (-) charges
Most objects around you are electrically neutral, they
have no net electrical charge.
Quiz 2a
Question:
The electric current in a wire is 6 A.
How many electrons flow past a
given point in a time of 3 s?
Answer:
q = (6 A)(3 s) = 18 C
Recall that: 1 e- = 1.6 x 10-19 C

Question:
When a 3-V battery is connected to a
light, a current of 6 mA is observed.
What is the resistance of the light
filament?
Answer:
Resistors
The symbol for a resistor is
Electric Resistance
Suppose we apply a constant potential difference of 4
V to the ends of geometrically similar rods of, say:
steel, copper, and glass.
The current in glass is much less than for steel or iron,
suggesting a property of materials called electrical
resistance R.
Varying Resistance
The resistance of a material (measured in )
depends on:
Type of material (the better the conductor, the lower
the resistance)
Length of material (the longer the material, the higher
the resistance)
Thickness of material (the thinner the material, the
higher the resistance)
Temperature of material (the higher the temperature,
the higher the resistance)

Answer:
kWh consumption = (wattage X hours used per day X
days per year) / 1000
1,825 kWh
Cost: 1,825 kWh X Rp.1000 = Rp. 1.825.000,-
Question:
How many Volts does the hot plate require if the
Current is 0.5 amps and the Resistance is 440 Ohms?
Answer:
Voltage = Current X Resistance
Voltage = (0.5 Amps) (220 Ohms)
Voltage = 220 Volts
