A. Explain the features of the particle model.
1. Light particles travel in straight lines
until they strike a surface.
2. Light particles must be invisibly small
because they don’t scatter when beams of
light intersect.
3. Light particles must travel at very high
speed; light doesn’t bend appreciably as
would a stream of water exiting a fire
hose.
4. Solve problems involving the speed of
light.
5. Light particles are created by luminous
objects and reflected or absorbed by non-
luminous objects.
6. From any single point of an object,
countless streams of particles radiate in all
directions.
7. There are several particle-boundary
interactions
a. Particles bounce elastically
Specular reflection occurs when
light particles bounce off a smooth
surface whereas diffuse reflection
occurs when light particles bounce
off a rough surface
b. Particles can be absorbed
c. Particles can pass through the
surface and enter the new medium.
When they do so, they change
speed, and thus direction.
8. The intensity of light is related to the
number of particles that strike a given

sectional area in the conductor. Distinguish
between "flow rate" and "drift velocity."
A3. By use of examples and activities, define and
apply equation I = ∆q/∆t
A4. Use the ammeter as a device to measure flow
rate.
B1.Develop a quantitative model for resistance in
ohmic materials, and qualitatively describe
reasons for deviations from this behavior
B2.Develop a qualitative microscopic model for
resistance, with flow of charge carriers hindered
by other material components
C.Use ammeter and voltmeter measurements to
develop Ohm's Law.
C. For simple series and parallel circuit
arrangements, discover and explain the
relationships among:
1. applied voltage and voltage drops across
resistors.
2. total current and currents in each branch of
a circuit.
3. total equivalent resistance and resistance
of the resistors in series and parallel.
