NATURE OF ELECTRIC CURRENT

1) In the modern conception of the constitution of matter it is composed of atoms. The atom is made up of a positive nucleus surrounded by negative charges of electricity, called electrons, which revolve about the nucleus at tremendous speed. The nucleus consists of a number of protons, each with a single positive charge, and, except for hydrogen, one or more neutrons, which have no charge. The atom is neutral when it contains equal numbers of electrons and protons. A negatively charged body contains more electrons than protons. A positively charged body is one which contains fewer electrons than its normal number.

2) When the two ends of a conductor are connected to two points at different potentials, such as the terminals of a battery, we say that there is an electric current in the conductor. What actually happens?

3) The conductor has equal numbers of positive and negative charges in its atoms, and we want to know how the charges can be made to produce a current. The atoms in metals are packed so closely that overlap to some extent, so that it is comparatively easy for the outer electrons to pass from one atom to another if a small force is applied to them.

4) The battery causes a potential difference between the ends of the wire, and thus provides forces that make the negative electrons in the wire move toward the point of higher potential electrons. This electron flow toward the positive electrode is the electric current. The current will not flow unless there is an electric circuit.

5) When the electrons flow in one direction only, the current is known to be d. c, that is, direct current. The simplest source of power for the direct current is a battery, as a battery pushes the electrons in the same direction all the time (i. e., from the negatively charged terminal to the positively charged terminal). The letters a. c. stand for alternating current. The current under consideration flows first in one direction and then in the opposite one.

5. Прочитайте 4-й и 5-й абзацы текста и ответьте письменно на следующие вопросы:

1) What does the battery cause and provide?

2) What is an electric current?

3) What are d. c and a. c.?

Пояснения к тексту

circuit - цепь

source - источник

supply - подача, питание; электропитание; электроснабжение

load - (электрическая) нагрузка (крупный) потребитель

otherwise - иначе, в противном случае

conductor - проводник

series - последовательная

path - путь

ELECTRIC CIRCUIT

1) The electric circuit is the subject to be dealt with in the present article. We know the circuit to be a complete path, which carries the current from the source of supply to the load and then carries it again from the load back to the source. The purpose of the electrical source is to produce the necessary electromotive force required for the flow of current through the circuit.

2) The path along which the electrons travel must be complete otherwise no electric power can be supplied from the source to the load. Thus we close the circuit when we switch on our electric lamp.

3) If the circuit is broken or, as we generally say, “opened” anywhere, the current is known to stop everywhere. Hence, we break the circuit when we switch off our electrical devices. Generally speaking, the current may pass through solid conductors, liquids, gases, vacuum, or any combination of these. It may flow in turn over transmission lines from the power-stations through transformers, cables and switches, through lamps, heaters, motors and so on. There are various kinds of electric circuits such as open circuits, closed circuits, series circuits, parallel circuits and short circuits.

4) To understand the difference between the following circuit connections is not difficult at all. When electrical devices are connected so that the current flows from one device to another, they are said to be connected in series. Under such conditions the current flow is the same in all parts of the circuit, as there is only a single path along which it may flow. The electrical bell circuit is considered to be a typical example of a series circuit.

5) The parallel circuit provides two or more paths for the passage of current. The lamps in your room and your house are generally connected in parallel. The short circuit is produced when the current is allowed to return to the source of supply without control and without doing the work that we want it to do.

5. Прочитайте 4-й и 5-й абзацы текста и ответьте письменно на следующие вопросы:

1) What may the current pass through?

2) What kinds of circuit do you know?

3) What is a parallel circuit? Give an example.
