  • Electricity is defined as the flow of electron or electric current.
  • Electron is the negatively charge component of an atom.
  • Proton is the positively charge component of an atom.
  • matter is anything that occupy space and has mass.
  • Atom is the basic component of matter. It composes of a nucleus which is the central part, the protons and electrons.
  • Current same as electricity or flow of electron. The amount of current flowing in a circuit can be measured in ampere.
  • Voltage is the amount of pulling force that makes the electron flow.
  • Resistance is defined as the opposition to the flow of current. The amount of resistance can be measure in ohms.
  • Conductors are materials that easily allow the flow of current, or it has a low resistance to current flow.
  • Insulators are materials that do not easily allow the flow of current, or it has a high resistance to current flow.
  • In direct current (DC), the flow of electric charge is only in one direction.
  • In alternating current (AC,) the movement of electric charge periodically reverses direction.
  • Electric circuit - is the pathways for electricity to flow.
  • Load - commonly represented by a bulb or any electrical component that consumes electricity.
  • Supply - Commonly represented by a cell or a battery.
  • Switch - an electrical device that opens or closed a circuit.
  • Open Circuit - a type of circuit that has an open path for current to flow.
  • Closed Circuit - a type of circuit that has a closed path for current to flow.
