課程筆記

Electric Charge

  • There are two types of electric charge: positive and negative.
  • Like charges repel, opposite charges attract.
  • Charge is measured in coulombs (C) (Extended Tier).

Structure of an atom

Structure of an atom

Charging by Friction

  • Rubbing two insulators together transfers electrons from one to the other.
  • The material that gains electrons becomes negatively charged; the one that loses electrons becomes positively charged.
  • A charged object can attract uncharged objects (e.g., comb picking up paper).

Transfer of electrons between charged insulators

Transfer of electrons between charged insulators

Electric Fields (Extended Tier)

  • An electric field is a region where a charge experiences a force.
  • Field direction is the direction of force on a positive test charge.
  • Field lines point from positive to negative charges.

Electrical Conductors & Insulators

  • Conductors (e.g., metals) have free electrons that can move, allowing charge to flow.
  • Insulators (e.g., plastic, rubber) have no free charges and do not conduct easily.
  • Metals conduct well because of their delocalised electrons.

Metallic lattice structure

Current

  • Electric current is the rate of flow of charge: I = \frac{Q}{t} .
  • Current is measured in amperes (A) using an ammeter connected in series.
  • Conventional current flows from positive to negative; electron flow is opposite.
  • Direct current (d.c.) flows in one direction; alternating current (a.c.) changes direction periodically.

A simple series circuit

Series circuit1.5 VLampA

Voltage (Potential Difference)

  • Voltage (or potential difference) is the energy transferred per unit charge.
  • Measured in volts (V) using a voltmeter connected in parallel.
  • In a series circuit, the total voltage is shared among components.
  • Electromotive force (e.m.f.) is the voltage supplied by a source (Extended Tier).

Potential difference shared in a series circuit

Series circuit12 V5 V7 V

Resistance

  • Resistance opposes current: R = \frac{V}{I} , measured in ohms (Ω).
  • Resistance is directly proportional to length and inversely proportional to cross-sectional area.
  • Ohmic conductors have constant resistance (linear I–V graph); non-ohmic have variable resistance.
  • Increasing temperature increases resistance due to more frequent collisions with metal ions.

The effect of resistance on current

The effect of resistance on current

Electrical Energy & Power

  • Electrical energy transferred: E = VIt , measured in joules (J).
  • Power is the rate of energy transfer: P = IV = \frac{E}{t} , measured in watts (W).
  • Domestic energy is often measured in kilowatt-hours (kW h): 1 kW h = 3.6 × 10⁶ J.
  • Cost of electricity = energy (kW h) × cost per unit.
