Good Afternoon, class! Good Afternoon, Ma’am Gelliane! Good

Afternoon, Classmates! Welcome and
Mabuhay!

Please pick up the pieces of paper (The learners picked up the pieces of

So, how’s your weekend? It was great, ma’am!

Okay! To add greatness in your Yes, ma’am!

weekend let’s start our week with an Yes, ma’am!
interesting topic, do you want it?

Alright!
Have you ever wondered why light

questions)

B. Lesson Proper

Okay! How was the song? (The learners will raise their hand to
answer)
It was good Ma’am!

class? (They’ll answer in unison)

II. Presentation of Lesson

Today, we will talk about electric circuit.

What is electricity? (The learners’ will raise their hands)

It is a form of energy resulting from the
existence of charged particles such as
electrons and protons.

Yes, that is right! Let’s give him/her 5 (The learners will clap 5 times)
claps.

Electricity as the physical phenomena (The learners listen attentively)

associated with the flow or movement of
electric charge.
(The teacher will let the learners ask
questions about electricity and discuss,
leading them to the definitions and
explanations below)

Electric charge is a fundamental property

of some subatomic particles.
 Protons have a positive charge
 Electrons have a negative charge
 Neutrons have no charge (neutral)
 Particles of negative charge are
repelled (use north and south
magnetic poles as an analogy)
 Conductor is something which freely
allows the motion of electric charge
and an insulator is the opposite.
 A buildup of electric on an insulator
creates static electricity.
(The teacher will use a balloon as an
example. Rub the inflated balloon on
someone’s hair and watch the hair
stand up in the presence of the
excess charge.)
 In a conductor, a buildup of charge
will freely move through the
conductor, resulting in electric
current.

So now, what is an electric current? (Some are raising their hands)

(The teacher will ask again for their It is the flow of electric charge ma’am.
learners’ opinion)

Yes! That’s correct. Very good. Let’s give (The learners will clap 5 times)
him 5 claps.

Electric current is the flow of electric

charge.
 The electric charge is in the form of
electrons.
 As a result, electric current, and
electricity in general, is often defined
as the flow of electrons.
 As electric current can be the result
of the flow of other charged
particles.
 The actual electrons move much
more slowly through the wire. Their
movement is called electron drift.
 The SI unit of current is the Ampere
 (A).
 Current is measured with an
ammeter.
 Current can only flow in the presence
of an electric field, often provided by
a voltage source.

Okay! What is voltage, class? (The learners will answer)

It is a quantitative expression of the
potential difference in charge between
two points in an electrical field.

Very good! Let’s give him 5 claps! (The learners will clap 5 times)

Voltage it is the electric potential (The learners listen attentively)

between two points.
 It is the potential for an electric field
to cause an electric current to flow.
 The SI unit for voltage is the volt (V).
 Voltage is measured with a
voltmeter.

Electric power is the rate at which

electrical energy is transferred.
 The SI unit for power is the watt (W).
 Ohm’s Law: Power = Voltage x
Current

Examples:
 If a 5 Ω resistor is connected to a 12V
battery, how much current is drawn
from the battery?
o Current = Voltage / Resistance =
12V / 5 Ω = 2.4A

 How much power is the resistor

consuming?
o Power = Voltage x Current = 12V
x 2.4A = 28.8 W
Electric circuit is the connection of two or
more components to form a closed loop.

The closed loop is necessary to allow the

electric current to flow from one point of
the voltage source to the other

Circuit elements can be connected in

either series or parallel configurations.
 Series component connectsin line
with each other.
o They provide a single path for
the current to flow.
o Therefore, they share the
same current
o Components in series have
the same current
o They divide the voltage
among themselves
o Components in series have
different voltages
o The different voltages add up
to the original total voltage of
the voltage source
 Parallel components are connected
side by side.
o Each component provides a
different path for the current
to flow
o Components in parallel have
different currents
o The different currents add up
to the current in the voltage
source
o Components in parallel have
the same voltage
 The teachers will use the Christmas
light example. If one light goes out,
do they all go out? Does this mean
the lights are series or parallel? (If
 they all go out, it’s series, if not it’s
parallel. If SOME go out, then it’s a
combination of series and parallel!)
