- The charges of electrons
- Surround the nucleus; can be rubbed of a material

Positive charges:
- The charges of protons
- Part of the nucleus of atoms and are held firmly in place.

Charging by friction:
Charging a material by rubbing
- When electrons are rubbed off a materials, the materials becomes positively charged
- Materials that gains electrons becomes negatively charged 
- Some materials create more static electricity that others 
- Various materials have a tendency of either giving up electron and becoming positive in charge
- Attracting electrons and becoming negative in charge]]> 2022-01-26 20:04:18 UTC https://padlet.com/gaebrielle0929/pz1svlx7y0313bju/wish/2014442939 gaebrielle0929 https://padlet.com/gaebrielle0929/pz1svlx7y0313bju/wish/2014442944 The Law of Electric charge
- Opposite charges attract each other
- Like charges repel each other
a negative charge attracts every positive charge.
every negative charge repels every other negative charge.
every positive charge repels every other positive charge.

The law of electric charge explains why charged objects attract neutral objects.
- All neutral objects have an equal number of protons and electrons]]> 2022-01-26 20:04:18 UTC https://padlet.com/gaebrielle0929/pz1svlx7y0313bju/wish/2014442944 gaebrielle0929 https://padlet.com/gaebrielle0929/pz1svlx7y0313bju/wish/2014442947 I - Chemical energy separates electrical charges in cells.

- Transforms chemical energy into electrical energy
- Chemical reactions of two different metals or metal compounds occur on the surface of electrodes.

Battery:
-  a connection of two or more electrochemical cells

- Insulator: a material charges cannot travel through.
- Conductor: a material charges can travel through.

Conductivity: An indication of how easily charges travel through a material.
- electrons can move through almost all metals.
- the higher the conductivity of a material, the more easily electrons can move through.]]> 2022-01-26 20:04:18 UTC https://padlet.com/gaebrielle0929/pz1svlx7y0313bju/wish/2014442955 gaebrielle0929 https://padlet.com/gaebrielle0929/pz1svlx7y0313bju/wish/2014442959 Chemical energy from a source causes charges to move through a conductor, carrying energy to an electrical device.

III - Voltage, current, and resistance in a circuit are related by Ohm's law.]]> 2022-01-26 20:04:18 UTC https://padlet.com/gaebrielle0929/pz1svlx7y0313bju/wish/2014442968 gaebrielle0929 https://padlet.com/gaebrielle0929/pz1svlx7y0313bju/wish/2014442972 Ohm's Law: The electrical potential difference between two points in a circuit is equal to the current times the resistance between those two points?

V = I x R

V: Electrical potential difference (voltage) in volts (V)
I: Current in amperes (A)
R: Resistance in ohm's (Ω)

Using Ohm's Law
You can rearrange the variables in Ohm's law to calculate any of the other variables.

- To find voltage: V = I x R
- To find current: I = V/R
- To find resistance: R = V/I

- Series circuit (A circuit in which current can only flow along one path)
- Parallel circuit: A circuit that has at least one brand point where the current splits into two or more pathways.

Series circuit (One pathway)
- All of the circuit components are connected in series
- Three light bulbs are connected in series
- There is only one path in which the current can flow through the battery, switch, and loads. Therefore, current remains the same across all loads


Parallel circuit (Multiple pathways)
- The light bulbs are connected in parallel
- The battery and switch are connected in series
- At the branch point, the current splits into two pathways.

Example: Loads connected in series in a kitchen
if one load (ceiling lamp) burns out:
- The circuit will be open
- Charges stop moving
- No load in the circuit will work

Parallel circuits are practical because each appliance is controlled by its own switch without shutting off others.]]> 2022-01-26 20:04:18 UTC https://padlet.com/gaebrielle0929/pz1svlx7y0313bju/wish/2014442974
