    PRINCIPLES OF ELECTRICTY
    PRINCIPLES OF ELECTRICTY Materials with low electron mobility are called
    INSULATORS .
    • Electric Energy
    • Electric Current
    • Electric Potential
    • Electric Resistance
    • Circuit Arrangements
    • Direct and Alternating Current
    • Power in Electric Circuits
    • Energy in Electric Circuits

    WHAT IS ELECTRICAL ENERGY?


    Electrical energy is caused by moving WHAT IS ELECTRICAL ENERGY?
    electric charges called electrons. The faster the The electricity that we use is a secondary
    charges move, the more electrical energy they energy source because it is produced by converting
    carry. primary sources of energy such as coal, natural gas,
    nuclear energy, solar energy, and wind energy into
    ATOM electrical power.
    The basic building block of all matter and
    chemistry. PRIMARY ENERGY
    Energy in the form that it is first accounted
    Atoms can be combined with other atoms for in a statistical energy balance, before any
    to form molecules but cannot be divided into transformation to secondary or tertiary forms of
    smaller parts by ordinary chemical processes. energy. For example, coal can be converted to
    synthetic gas, which can be converted to electricity;
    in this example, coal is primary energy, synthetic
    gas is secondary energy, and electricity is tertiary
    energy.

    ION
    An ion is a charged atom or molecule. Electricity is also referred to as an
    ENERGY CARRIER , which means it can be
    converted to other forms of energy such as
    mechanical energy or heat.

    WHAT IS ELECTIC CURRENT?


    Refers to the flow of electricity in an
    electronic circuit, and to the amount of electricity
    flowing through a circuit. It is measured in amperes
    (A). The larger the value in amperes, the more
    electricity is flowing in the circuit.

    Materials with high electron mobility are called


    CONDUCTORS .
    Particles called electrons come together,
    and the number of electrons flowing each second is
    the current.

    CURRENT (Ampere) (Symbol: I)


    This continuous movement of electric
    charge through the conductors of a circuit. Often
    referred to as “flow.”

    VOLTAGE (Volts) (Symbol: V)


    The pressure from an electrical circuit's
    power source that pushes charged electrons
    (current) through a conducting loop. The force
    motivating charge carriers to “flow” in a circuit.

    RESISTANCE (Ohm) (Symbol: R)


    The force that counteracts the flow of
    current. Opposition to motion.
