Once upon a time

• E produces H, and vice versa! EH Discovery by
  professor Oersteds demo!
• Can HE ? Finally 11 years laterYES!!!
• Used in generating electricity
• First DC Thomas Edison not so good
• Then AC Nikola TESLA GREAT!!
• Invented ac motor, radio, design Niagara Falls
  generator, distribution systems, fluorescence
  lamps, remote control, wireless, logic circuits,
  3 phasic and many modern things.

Electrical Circuits

• We will take a look at several electricity
  components concepts
• Resistors
• Capacitors
• Series Parallel Connections
• LED
• IC or chips
• Batteries
• Nodes

It most have a closed loop
6
Meet the Concepts Resistor
Resistors- reduce or resist the flow of
electrons
7
Series ConnectionTry to connect a circuit the
one belowusing the color light bulbs provided
V I R
8
Parallel Connection
Elements connect on both legs.
I V / R
9
What is a Node?
How many nodes are in this circuit?
10
LED

• Light emitting diodes (LED) like regular light
  bulbs but that are actually semiconductors that
  shine when an electrical current passes through
  them in a specific direction.
• Low Power consumption! ?

What is a circuit Board?
Nodes?
12
Electronic Doorbell
Switch
Speaker
13
Electro-magnet
Warning!! It can get HOT.
14
Capacitors
Capacitors store electrons

Myth Why is the Ocean Blue?

• FALSE The ocean is blue because the sky
  reflection on its surface.
• TRUE Water is blue.
• frequency spectra
• But you need a huge amount of it to really see
  its color.
• Look at a swimming pool as it gets deeper even
  on cloudy days.

Myth 2

• FALSE Thomas Edison, greatest contributor to
  Electricity and systems used today.
• TRUE Nikola Tesla greatest contributor to
  Electricity.
• Invented ac motor,
• perfected dc motor,
• invented radio transmission, (wireless)
• designed Niagara Falls generator,
• distribution systems,
• fluorescence lamps,
• remote control, wireless,
• logic circuits,
• 3 phasic and many others.
