Definition:
- A fundamental form of energy that involves the movement or flow of electrons.
Properties:
- Can be generated from various sources (e.g., chemical, thermal, mechanical)
- Can flow through conductors (e.g., metals)
- Produces magnetic fields when it flows
- Can be stored in devices like batteries and capacitors
Units of Measurement:
- Voltage: Measured in volts (V) – the potential difference or electrical pressure between two points
- Current: Measured in amperes (A) – the flow rate of electrons
- Resistance: Measured in ohms (Ω) – the opposition to the flow of current
- Power: Measured in watts (W) – the rate at which electrical energy is being used or generated
Electrical Charge:
- Refers to the amount of electrical energy carried by an object.
- Two types of electrical charges:
- Positive: Carried by protons in atom nuclei
- Negative: Carried by electrons in atom shells
Electrical Circuits:
- Closed paths through which electricity flows.
- Types of circuits:
- Series circuits: Components connected in a single loop
- Parallel circuits: Components connected across multiple branches
Uses of Electricity:
- Powering devices and appliances
- Lighting
- Heating and cooling
- Transportation
- Communication
- Computing
Electricity Generation:
- Various methods:
- Fossil fuels (e.g., coal, natural gas)
- Nuclear power
- Renewable energy sources (e.g., solar, wind, geothermal)
Electrical Hazards:
- Electrical shocks
- Fires
- Explosions
Safety Precautions:
- Use insulated wires and equipment
- Ground electrical devices
- Be aware of electrical outlets and power lines
- Turn off electrical power before working on equipment
