Review Draw a parallel circuit with 2 bulbs and 1 voltmeter Draw a series circuit with 2 bulbs and 1 voltmeter Describe the difference between volts and amps Calculate the watts used by a 12-volt, 2-amp bulb
Objective 4: conductors, insulators, & resistors • You should be able to: • Identify (1-2) • Define or Describe (3-4) • Explain or discuss (5-6) • conductors, insulators, and resistors • How to measure the current traveling through resistors and conductors
Vocabulary • electrons • insulator • conductor • resistor http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUhxmXZwPmg (review and conductivity)
Conductors • Materials that allow electrons to flow easily because the electrons are not bound tightly to the atoms http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpkyuqial8o (eureka!)
Insulators • Materials that do not allow electrons to flow easily because the electrons are tightly bound to the atoms
Resistors • Materials that allow electrons to flow but at a slower rate. • The materials have a resistance to the flow of electrons
