Lesson Plan: Electric Circuits (~130 minutes) Concepts 1. Electricity is the flow of electric charge (electrons). 2. Electric Charge is a property of subatomic particles. 3. Current is the movement of electric charge. 4. Voltage is the electric potential that exists to move a charge. 5. Power is the rate at which electric energy is flowing in a circuit. 6. Ohm’s Law: Power = Voltage x Current. 7. Resistance is a physical property that quantifies how well a charge

Cook Misty Stroud‚ PhD CHM 151; CRN 25017 1 March 2013 Tesla vs. Edison Everyone knows who Thomas Edison is‚ and many attribute the “invention of electricity” to Edison‚ but this is simply not accurate. The truth is‚ while Thomas Edison did patent and market DC‚ or direct current‚ electricity‚ he did not “invent” electricity‚ and as a matter of fact‚ much of his work was actually basically stolen from other scientists‚ among them‚ one brilliant scientist‚ Nikola Tesla. We are all taught

Chapter I I. Introduction Power electronics converters can be found wherever there is a need to change voltage‚ current of frequency of electric power. The power range of these converters is forming some mill watts (as in mobile phone) to thousands of megawatts in an HVDC transmission system. With classical electronics‚ electrical currents‚ and voltage are used to carry information‚ where as with power electronics‚ they carry power electronics becomes the efficiency An inverter converts DC

electrons to form hydrogen gas. Because the zinc strip frees electrons and the copper strip uses electrons‚ if you put a wire between the two strips‚ then electrons will flow from the zinc to the copper. This is electrical energy. The flow of electricity is called an electrical current‚ which is measured in a unit called amperes (also called amps for short). Electrical current cannot just flow on its own; it needs something to "push" it. Voltage (also referred to as electric potential) is what pushes

to Collinson in 1749 described the concept of an electrical battery‚ but no ideas for its use.3 Later that year‚ he came to be certain of similarities between electricity and lightning. These include: the color of the light‚ its crooked direction‚ cracking noise‚ and other things. Sharing the belief of lightning being electricity with many other scientists‚ Franklin was determined to prove it no matter what it took. Not only wanting to prove this theory‚ but to protect people‚ buildings‚ and

Welcome Nikolas Tesla‚ he came up with the idea of AC (Alternating Current) with this form of electricity the flow of electric charge changes direction periodically in relation to a sine wave. With this new type of electricity it could be sent much further due to

Sustainable Energy 1. How can electricity be defined? Electricity can be defined as the flow of electrical power or charge. It is a type of energy fuelled by the flow of electrons from positive and negative points within a conductor. 2. What is an electrical circuit? 3. What components are required to create an electrical circuit? In order to create an electrical circuit‚ you need: a) A source of electric power (battery or generator) b) A load to absorb the power (lamp
