Batteries
A battery supplies
energy to an electric
circuit.
When the positive and
negative terminals in a
battery are connected
in a circuit, the electric
potential energy of the
electrons in the circuit
is increased.
Electric Current
Batteries
As these electrons
move toward the
positive battery
terminal, this electric
potential energy is
transformed into other
forms of energy.

The amount of
current is
determined by the
voltage supplied
by the battery and
the resistance of
the conductor.

Electric companies
generate electrical
energy and sell it in
units of kilowatthours to homes,
schools, and
businesses.
One kilowatt-hour,
kWh, is an amount of electrical energy equal
to using 1 kW of power continuously for 1 h.

Lightning Safety
If you cannot go
indoors, you
should take these
precautions:
Avoid high places and open fields.
Stay away from tall objects such as
trees, flag poles, or light towers.

that conduct
current such as
bodies of water,
metal fences,
picnic shelters,
and bleachers.

Question 2
Answer
Ohms law can be stated as V = IR, or voltage
equals current (in amperes) times resistance
(in ohms).

Question 3
Answer
It is a parallel circuit. The electrical outlets in
your house are on a parallel circuit. If they
werent, no appliance would work if any one
appliance was turned off.
Chapter 22 Review 1 of 2
Two types of electric charges: positive and
negative.
Like charges repel and unlike charges attract.
Electrons do not move freely through an
insulator.
The human body is a good conductor of
electricity.
Electric discharge: rapid movement of excess
charge from one place to another.
Chapter 22 Review 2 of 2
Materials have electric resistance because
electrons collide with atoms in the materials,
releasing thermal energy and light.
Increase in resistance = increase in energy lost
as heat and light.
Voltage increase = current increase.
Series circuit: electricity only has one path to
follow.
Parallel circuits: are used in houses, schools,
and other buildings.
