Fundamentals of Electricity and Current
Electricity and Electrons
- Electricity: A fundamental from of energy resulting from the presence and movement of charged subatomic particles, primarily negativity charged particles (e−)-electronics.
- Electrons: Fundamental, negatively charged subatomu particles that make up all atoms.
- Electric Current: The rate at which electric change flows past a specific point in a circiut.
Energy Conversion and Current Types
- Flashlight Energy Flow: Chemical E Electrical Light.
- Alternating Current: AC - alternating Current Current.
- Direct Current: Found on Battery, noted as CD DC - Direct curent.
Conductors and Insulators
- Conductor: A material that allows electric current to flow through it easily and transmits energy.
- Insulator: A materical that heavily restricts the flow of energy, preventing it from easily passing through.
