What Is Electricity?

Protons

Neutrons

Insulator

a material such as glass or porcelain with negligible electrical or thermal conductivity

Current

Volt

Ampere

the basic unit of electric current adopted under the Systeme International d'Unites

Ohm

a unit of electrical resistance equal to the resistance between two points on a conductor when a potential difference of one volt between them produces a current of one ampere

Watt

Electricity

Positive Charge

Neutral Charge

Electricity Generation

electricity generated from fossil fuels, nuclear power plants, hydro power plants (excluding pumped storage), geothermal systems, solar panels, biofuels, wind, etc.

Seires Circut

Battery

Repulsion

When two poles or charges pushes away each other

Non-Renewable Resources

Electrons

Conductor

a substance that readily conducts e.g. electricity and heat

Statics

Voltage

Amperage

the strength of an electrical current measured in amperes

Resistance

Power

Energy

Law Of Electrostatics

the magnitude at which electrostatic charges repel or attract is “directly proportionate” to the magnitude of charges when multiplied.

Negative Charge

Lighting

Circuit

Parallel Circuit

a closed circuit in which the current divides into two or more paths before recombining to complete the circuit

Attraction

Renewable Resources

any natural resource (as wood or solar energy) that can be replenished naturally with the passage of time

Friction

effort expended in moving one object over another with pressure
