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.
