Paragraph 1

• Circuit
• Electrical energy
• Insulating and conductive materials

• Current
  

Paragraaf 1

• Circuit

In this circuit, the battery is connected to the battery with two cables. We then speak of a closed circuit.

Section 1

• Electrical energy

When the light is on, it consumes electrical energy. This energy is provided by the battery.

Section 1

• Insulators and conductors

            Insulators                                         Conductors

Section 1

• Current
• Current (I) is measured in amperes (A).

Current = the amount of particles that flow through the wire in a specific place in a second

Section 2

•  Voltage

• Voltage sources
  
• Batteries in series connection
  
• Mains voltage (230 volts from the socket)
  

Section 2

• Voltage
• You measure voltage (U) in volts (V).

Voltage = the amount of electrical energy that the particle 'carries' with it

Section 2

• Voltage sources

Section 2

• Voltage sources

A small battery supplies about 1.5 volts

An electrical outlet supplies about 230 volts

An (electric) train runs on 1500 volts

Section 2

• Batteries in series connection

Often you need more than one battery to

to get the right tension.

You have to connect the batteries in series.

If you do this (correctly) you can add up the voltages.

Section 3

• Symbols

• Series connection
  
• Parallel connection
  

Section 3

• Symbols
  

Section 3

• Series connection
• In a series circuit, the amperage is the same everywhere.

Section 3

• Parallel connection
• In a parallel circuit, the voltage is the same everywhere.

Section 4

• Power

• Formula (                           )

P=U⋅I

Section 4

• Power
• You calculate power in watts

Power tells you how much electrical energy a device uses in 1 second

Section 4

• Formula

power=voltage × current

P=U⋅I

Quantity	symbol	Unit	symbol
power	P	watt	W
voltage	U	volt	V
current	I	ampere	A

Which three substances are resistors?

1. Rubber, plastic and glas
2. Plastic, diamond and wood
3. Rubber, oil and wood
4. Plastic, oil and glass

Which substance is a conductor?

1. All metals
2. Carbon
3. (Sea)water
4. Paper

Electrical current tells you something about?

1. How many particles 'flow' past
2. How 'fast' the particle is going
3. How much electrical energy a particle 'carries'
4. How 'energetic' a particle is

Electrical voltage tells you something about?

1. How many particles 'flow' past
2. How 'fast' the particle is going
3. How much electrical energy a particle 'carries'
4. How 'energetic' a particle is

How much voltage comes from an electrical outlet at home?

1. 2,3 volt
2. 23 volt
3. 230 volt
4. 2300 volt

If you connect 4 batteries of 1.5 volts in series, you get a total voltage of:

1. 5,5 volt
2. 6,0 volt
3. 2,66 volt
4. 2,5 volt

In a series circuit, the ... is the same everywhere.

1. Current
2. Voltage
3. Energy
4. Power

In a parallel circuit, the ... is the same everywhere.

1. Current
2. Voltage
3. Energy
4. Power

To calculate the power you need the following two data:

The correct formula to calculate the power is:

1. voltage+current
2. voltage−current
3. voltage⋅current
4. ​voltage​​current​​

The correct formula is:

1. P=U+I
2. P=U−I
3. P=U⋅I
4. P=​U​​I​​
