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
