Expectations Review• What are the expectations
for:– Being on task?– Music/Ipods?– Supply Management and
use?– Language?– Work Habits?– Group talk/Class
discussions
• You should be working on task at all times. NO Excuses!
• You may listen to music when I say it is OK during individual work. NEVER during notes or group work.
• Supplies are to be used properly and not stolen or used for any purpose other than lab. (Tape, buckets, etc.)
• Cursing and non-academic language is unacceptable. You will be given one warning and then a phone call or referral.
• You are to be working at all times. Off topic conversations are wasting our time.
• On topic, SLANT, quiet and respectful

6.5 Physics Talk• What is a fuse? • Device placed in an
electrical circuit that melts when too much current (amps) flow through it. Breaks the circuit and doesn’t allow the parts of the circuit to get damaged.
• Fuses must be replaced in order to restore the circuit to normal operation
![Page 17: Chapter 6, Section 5 Electric Power: Load Limit. April 18, 2011 HW: Grade Report Signed, 6.5 PTG, pg. 641, 1-13, Due Wed Honors meeting Wed at lunch!](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e365503460f94b25d4f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
6.5 Physics Talk
• What is a circuit breaker? • Devices place in an electrical circuit that operates like an automatic switch to open the circuit when too much current flows through.
• Can be reset when the current is reduced.
![Page 18: Chapter 6, Section 5 Electric Power: Load Limit. April 18, 2011 HW: Grade Report Signed, 6.5 PTG, pg. 641, 1-13, Due Wed Honors meeting Wed at lunch!](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e365503460f94b25d4f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
6.5 Physics Talk
• What are conductors? • A material that current can move through easily
• Metals are good conductors
• Copper is a good conductor and used for electrical wires
• Outer electrons are loosely bonded and can be easily shared
• Very low resistance
![Page 19: Chapter 6, Section 5 Electric Power: Load Limit. April 18, 2011 HW: Grade Report Signed, 6.5 PTG, pg. 641, 1-13, Due Wed Honors meeting Wed at lunch!](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e365503460f94b25d4f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
6.5 Physics Talk
• What is an insulator? • Do not allow electric current to flow easily
• Outer electrons are tightly bonded
• Examples: air, glass, plastic, rubber, wood
• Used to provide protection from danger amounts of current. (rubber coating on electrical wires)
• Very high resistance!
![Page 20: Chapter 6, Section 5 Electric Power: Load Limit. April 18, 2011 HW: Grade Report Signed, 6.5 PTG, pg. 641, 1-13, Due Wed Honors meeting Wed at lunch!](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e365503460f94b25d4f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
6.5 Physics Talk
• How can you blow a fuse or trip a circuit breaker?
• Devices that generate lots of heat also use lots of energy
• Devices with high power ratings (require a lot of power) are responsible for blowing a fuse or tripping a circuit breaker.
• Examples: Hair dryer, toaster, things that heat up.
![Page 21: Chapter 6, Section 5 Electric Power: Load Limit. April 18, 2011 HW: Grade Report Signed, 6.5 PTG, pg. 641, 1-13, Due Wed Honors meeting Wed at lunch!](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e365503460f94b25d4f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
6.5 Physics Talk
• What happened in our experiment?
• As we added more appliances, you increased current (amps) until the fuse burned out.
• This opened the circuit and current flow stops.
![Page 22: Chapter 6, Section 5 Electric Power: Load Limit. April 18, 2011 HW: Grade Report Signed, 6.5 PTG, pg. 641, 1-13, Due Wed Honors meeting Wed at lunch!](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e365503460f94b25d4f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
6.5 Physics Talk
• Why do we need fuses and circuit breakers?
• Safety devices• Usually 15 A or 20 A,
depending on the wires• Electrical current
generates heat• Prevents wires from
melting/starting fires
![Page 23: Chapter 6, Section 5 Electric Power: Load Limit. April 18, 2011 HW: Grade Report Signed, 6.5 PTG, pg. 641, 1-13, Due Wed Honors meeting Wed at lunch!](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e365503460f94b25d4f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
6.5 Physics Talk
• How does all this work in our houses?
• Home circuits provide 120V
• You can find the Power Rating (Watts) on most appliances
• You can then calculate Current (amps)
![Page 24: Chapter 6, Section 5 Electric Power: Load Limit. April 18, 2011 HW: Grade Report Signed, 6.5 PTG, pg. 641, 1-13, Due Wed Honors meeting Wed at lunch!](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e365503460f94b25d4f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• How does this all work in our houses ?(con’t)
• 100 W bulb is brighter than a 60 W bulb because the 100 W bulb will pull more current
• 20 W compact florescent bulb produces the same amount of light as a 100 W conventional bulb but uses less power! This saves energy and money!
![Page 25: Chapter 6, Section 5 Electric Power: Load Limit. April 18, 2011 HW: Grade Report Signed, 6.5 PTG, pg. 641, 1-13, Due Wed Honors meeting Wed at lunch!](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e365503460f94b25d4f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• What are power limits? • Voltage of the circuits in your house are 120 V
• Fuse/circuit breaker is 15A• That means the power
limit is 120V x 15A=1800 W• If a toaster is 1200 W and a
hair dryer is 1000W, they cannot operate on the same line since they total 2200 W. They would trip the circuit
![Page 26: Chapter 6, Section 5 Electric Power: Load Limit. April 18, 2011 HW: Grade Report Signed, 6.5 PTG, pg. 641, 1-13, Due Wed Honors meeting Wed at lunch!](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e365503460f94b25d4f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
• What are current limits? • Voltage of the circuits in your house are 120 V
• Fuse/circuit breaker is 15A• Appliances are wired in
parallel, total current of the circuit will be the sum off all individual currents
• If the total current in the circuit is greater than 15, the fuse will blow/circuit will trip.
