Electricity and you
• Recall that nerves carry electrical nerve impulses
• What happens to our bodies when we get an electric shock
• How can we use electric shocks.
Electricity and you
Our brains and nerves conduct electrical signals
through nerves.video
Electricity and youHeart muscles are controlled by electrical impulses so that they pump blood at the
correct time.If these signals do not reach all parts of
the heart Dr’s can fit a pacemaker
Electricity and youHeart muscles are controlled by electrical impulses so that they pump blood at the
correct time.If a heart stops beating or is beating
irregularly sometimes it can be made to start again by passing electricity through
it.
Electricity and youElectric shocks can. Look at
page 145 table D.
Electricity and youA shock from a 12V circuit and a 220V
mains
Voltage is _______________
1. Your body has a high resistance (higher resistance than a light
bulb) so you rarely feel anything if you touch a 12V circuit in a school
experiment.
2. As voltage increases so does current.
3. So a 220V electric shock from the mains circuit will cause
damage.
Voltage = current resistance
Electricity and youWhy no wet hands ?
The resistance of your skin is lower with wet hands, this would let a
higher circuit flow through you.
Are you telling the truth?
Revision before the task1. Learn key words
2. Draw circuit diagrams-look over summary sheets
3. Look at evaluating models.
c any sensible answer, such as: it does not model resistance/there is no ‘wire’ for the children to move through/the children do not have to return to the banana stall
Series circuit – 2 bulbs

Parallel Circuit
Set up the two circuits shown:
1. In which circuit are the bulbs the brightest?In circuit A the bulbs are the brightest.
2. What happens if you unscrew one bulb in Circuit A?The other bulb stays lit.
4. What happens if you unscrew a bulb in circuit B?The other bulb goes out.
3. What do we call circuit A?Parallel Circuit
5. What do we call circuit B?Series Circuit
