Chapter 7 : Electricity

Parallel (Selari) and Series (bersiri) Circuit.

1.
The electric circuit is easier to draw when components of the
electric
circuit are represented (diwakili) by their symbol.
2.

Draw the symbol of some common electric components.


Electric component

Symbol

Dry cell

Switch

Fuse

Bulb

Resistor

Voltmeter

Ammeter

Rheostat

3.

Differences between Series and parallel circuits.


Series Circuit

Difference
Type of circuit

Parallel circuit

The electric components are connected end


to end.
The current flows in one channel only

Method of connection

The other bulbs will not light up


The current at any point in the circuit is
the same:
I = I 1 = I2 = I 3

If one bulb burns out


Amount of current

The electric components are connected


side by side.
The current flows in more than one
channel
The other bulbs will still light up
The same as the total amount of
current in every channel
I = I1 + I2 + I3

Number of channels

The voltage supplied by the electric source


is shared by all the bulbs. The voltage that
passes through the circuit is the same as
the sum of the voltage used by each bulb.

Amount of voltage

The voltage is the same as the voltage


supply.
V = V1 = V2 = V3

V = V1 + V2 + V3

The circuit resistance is the sum of the


resistance in each bulb.

Amount of resistance

The total resistance (R) is calculated as


follows:

Lifespan
Switch

Lasts long
One switch for each bulb.

R = R1 + R2 + R3
Does not last long
One switch controls all the bulbs.

MAGNETISM

4.

Like poles will each other.

5.

Unlike poles will.. each other.

6.

Draw a magnet with the correct label.

7.

Give examples of materials that are attracted by magnet.

8.

Give examples of materials that are not attracted by magnet.

9.

11.
the

magnet.

Draw the magnetic field of a bar magnet and the directions of


magnetic lines.

12.

Why magnet is used in a compass?

13.

Relate magnetic field lines and strength of magnetic field.

14.
seen,

A magnetic field cannot be seen or felt, but its pattern can be


explain how you can observe the magnetic field.

15.
Remember.. all magnetic lines of force have direction, point
from the
north pole the south pole.
16.
Remember, all magnetic lines of force do not cross one
another.

17.
How can you determine the direction of magnetic lines of
force of a
magnet.

18.

What forms a magnetic field?

19.

Draw the direction of the needle on the following compasses.

a.

b.

ELECTROMAGNETISM can be produced through a straight wire or


through a solenoid (wire coil).
1.

What is electromagnetism?

2. What is produce when an electric current flows through a straight


conductor?

3. The magnetic field that is produced around a straight conductor is


. in shape.

4. What is the rule used to determine the direction of the magnetic field.

5. Draw the direction of the magnetic field.

6. An electromagnet is a conductor that has characteristics similar to those


of a magnet but only when an electric current flows through it.
7. However its magnetism disappears when the electric current is cut off.
8. An electromagnet consists of a solenoid (wire coil) that is wound around a
soft iron core.
9. The strength of the magnetic field in an electromagnet can be increased
by : I, Increasing the number of turns of the solenoid.
Ii. Increasing the electric current that flows.
Iii. Reducing the diameter of the solenoid.
