Where does power come from?

Power comes from a power plant, which generate electricity from various sources (Nuclear, geothermal, hydroelectric, solar, wind)

How does a power plant travel to your house?

The power plant converts the energy into electrical energy and then is transferred through the transmission and distribution of power lines. Then to our devices known as loads at homes, businesses, or industry.

What is electricity?

A fundamental form of energy that powers our modern world.

Know the ohms law and be able to use it

V-Voltage, I-Current, R-Resistance

V=IR
I=V/R
R=V/I

What types of electricity are there?

AC (alternating current) which is plugged in (refrigerator, washing machines and air conditioners) DC( direct current) which is battery or something that is charged (smartphones, laptop, tablets, flashlights, toys).

What are 4 power sources?

biomass, solar, nuclear, coal, batteries

What is a resistor?

A fundamental electronic component that plays a crucial role in controlling the flow electric current in a circuit. (Opposes Current flow)

What are ohms?

The unit of measurement for electrical resistance

What does a multimeter do?
