ELECTRIC CURRENT
Measure of the number
of electrical charges
passing through a cross-
section of a conductor in
a given time.
ELECTRIC CURRENT
Symbol: I
Unit: Ampere (A)

Ammeter –
measures electric
current
VOLTAGE
Work done on the
charges to make them
move.
Electrical energy –
moves charges in a
circuit
VOLTAGE
Battery – supplies
energy in circuits
- Consists dry cells or
wet cells (w/c contains
electrolytes)
VOLTAGE
Symbol: V
Unit: Volts (V)

Voltmeter –
measures voltage
RESISTANCE
Hinders the flow of
electrical charges.

Symbol: R
Unit: Ohms (Ω)
SERIES CONNECTION
Total current: same as
current in individual load
Total voltage: equal to the
sum of the voltages across
each load
Total resistance: Increases
with increasing load
 PARALLEL CONNECTION
Total current: equal to the sum of
current in individual loads
Total voltage: same anywhere
across two points in circuit
Total resistance: Decreases
with increasing load
CALCULATING
ENERGY USE
 OBJECTIVES
 Identify common household
appliances that consumes a
lot of electricity;
 Calculate power rating and
cost of electrical
consumption;
 Give alternatives to conserve
electricity (Affective)
 POWER
RATING
▧ Indicates the amount of
electric power
consumed.
▧ Measured in Kilowatts
(kW)
 POWER
RATING
Formula: P=IV
Where:
P = Power
I = Current
V = Voltage
 ELECTRIC POWER
CONSUMPTION /
TOTAL ENERGY USED
▧ Amount of electric energy
that an appliance
consumes within certain
period of time
 ELECTRIC POWER
CONSUMPTION /
TOTAL ENERGY USED
Formula: E= Pt
Where:
E = Electric power consumed
P = Power
t = Time

GROUP ACTIVITY
Based on the bill above, answer the following
questions
1. When is the deadline for paying the bill?
___________________________
2. How much is the electric power
consumption? ______________________
3. What is the previous meter reading?
______________________________
4. What is the bill number?
___________________________________
5. What is the rate for the currency
adjustment? _______________________
WHAT ARE THE
WAYS WE CAN
CONSERVE
ENERGY?
 THESE ARE SOME WAYS

▧Change your travel behaviour, walk or ride your

bicycle instead of taking the car
▧Choose products that come with lightweight
packaging
▧Turn off lights and appliances when you are not
using them, use energy-saving light bulbs
▧Reuse plastic bags for shopping and storage
▧Use rechargeable batteries instead of disposable
batteries
