  • Electron Theory - Current is produce when a large number of electrons flow from one atom to another in a single general direction.
  • Electricity - The shifting of valence electrons from one atom to another.
  • Electron flow - from negative to positive
  • Current flow - from positive to negative
  • Voltage - Electromotive force that pushes the current
  • Current - rate of flow of electrons
  • Resistance - Hindrance to the flow of electrons
  • Ohm's Law - At constant temperature, the current is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance.
  • Source - device that delivers the energy into the system being consumed by the load.
  • Load - electrical component that consumes electric power and converts electrical energy to other forms of energy.
  • Insulator - materials that do not allow the flow of electrons from atom to atom.
  • Conductor - materials that allow the flow of electrons from atom to atom.
  • Direct current - the electric charge or the current flows in only one direction, voltage is constant.
  • Alternating current - the direction of the flow of electron switches back and forth at regular intervals.
  • Resistivity - takes into account the nature of the material
  • DC Source - Produced due to chemical energy stored in batteries or from solar energy converted by solar panels
  • AC Source - Produced through the process of electromagnetic induction.
  • A machine that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy is called generator.​
  • Wires or cables - These are used to transmit electrical energy from its source to the load such as devices, equipment and appliances​
