Cards (22)

  • Electricity
    The set of physical phenomena associated with the presence and motion of matter that had a property of electrical charge
  • Electricity
    A form of energy resulting from the existence of charged particles (such as electrons and protons)
  • Static electricity
    Electricity at rest, the build up of electricity charge on the surface of objects
  • Dynamic electricity
    The flow of the electric charge, also known as electric current. It is also known as electricity in motion.
  • Benjamin Franklin is known for his experiments with electricity - most notably the KITE EXPERIMENT - a fascination that began in earnest after he accidentally shocked himself in 1746
  • Thomas Edison exerted a tremendous influence on modern life, contributing inventions such as: incandescent light bulb, the photograph, and the motion picture camera, as well as improving the telegraph and telephone
  • Georg Simon Ohm clarified the fundamental relationship between electric current, voltage, and resistance
  • Alessandro Volta is most famous for his invention of the Electric Battery
  • Andre-Marie Ampere was the first person to develop an instrument to measure the magnitude of the current flowing in a conductor
  • Nikola Tesla invented the first alternating current (AC) motor and developed AC generation and transmission technology
  • Michael Faraday was a British physicist and chemist who is best known for his discoveries of electromagnetic induction and of the laws of electrolysis. His biggest breakthrough in electricity was his invention of the electric motor
  • Electrical tools
    Used to do electrical work like electrical wiring installations, allowing installation of electrical wire properly and quickly
  • Allen screw

    Used to drive screws with hexagonal slot heads
  • Electrician's knife
    Used to remove insulation of wires and cables in low and high voltage transmissions lines
  • Portable electric drill
    A small drilling machine with a chuck capacity of 1⁄4 to 3/8, used in making holes on metal sheets and concrete walls
  • Hacksaw
    Used to cut metal conduit and armored cable
  • Pull push rule
    A measuring tape that coils into a compact case, used for measuring long, short, straight lengths
  • Multimeter
    A measuring instrument that can measure multiple electrical properties
  • Wire termination
    The work performed to the end of a wire that allows it to connect to a device (connector, switch, terminal, etc.)
  • Electrical symbols
    Small drawings or pictograms used to represent various electrical devices in a diagram or plan of an electrical circuit
  • Wiring/circuit diagram
    A simplified conventional graphical representation of an electrical circuit, showing the actual wire connections being used
  • Electrical circuit
    The conductive path for flow of current or electricity
