- When electrical charge is - Responsible for closing and
removed opening the circuit
- Open means the load will not

Repel function
- Two object with the same
charge come into contact
Attract
- Two object with different
charges come into contact Circuit Diagrams

1) Given: V= 120V
Voltage R= 18ohm
- It is the energy per charge I=?
- The one that makes the soln:
electrons move I= V
- Electromotive force and R
potential difference simply I=120V
means Voltage 18ohm

Resistance 3) Given: I=0.6A
- The ability of a wire to stop or V= 110V

- According ohms law,
voltage is directly
proportional to electric
current (V/I = R)
- Another formula for
elctric current according
to Ohms Law (V=IR)
Series Circuit
- Has only q path
- If one load burns out or is
removed, all loads will stop
working
- The voltage is shared between
each load, resulting in reduced
brightness
- Series circuit are cheap and
easy to construct
Formulas
- IT= I1= I2= I3….
- VT= V1+V2+V3
- RT= R1 + R2 + R3
Parallel Circuit
- Has more than 1 path
- If one load burns out or is
removed, all other loads will
continue working
- Each load recieves the full
voltage of the source, resulting
in all load burning at the same
brightness regardless of the
number of loads
- Parallel circuits require more
effort to construct
Formulas
- IT= I1 + I2 + I3…
- VT= V1=V2=V3
