ELECTRICITE
Diego and Maytte
Electrical energy are small particles that are atoms that are negative or positive the atoms negative are atracted with the positive and rechaced negative and negative or positive. 
CONDUCTOR: Materials that electric current flow through them are conductors. Ex: Gold silver iron ...
INSULATOR: Are materials that the electricity doesn´t current. Ex: Wood, plastic, wool...
ELECTRIC CIRCUITS: An electric circuit is a series of interconected components that an electric current flows through to produce an effect (like light, heat, sound or motion. There are four main components in an electric circuit.
CONDUCTORS: Transport the electrical energy from power sources to load devices. Conductive components of circuit are wires
LOAD DEVICES: Components receive the electrical enegy from power sources and convert it to other types of useful energy: Motors, lamps, buzzers and resistors. Motor Lamp Buzzer Resistor
POWER SOURCES:
Supply the necessary electrical energy to the rest of circuit to move the electrons. Generators direct current in are cells and battery Cell
CONTROL DEVICES: Devices that regulate the circuit. The mains type of control devices are one-way switches, push switches and two-way switches. push
Electricity is a form of energy that lets negatively (electrons) that move from one atom to another. Electic current is the flow of electrons from one atoms to another inside a conductive material.

A circuit is open when the energy of the power source cannot reach the loand devices, so the electric current cannot flow.this can happen if the switch is open,but it can also be because of a fault in the circuit

-
on : the lamp is lit. the electric current flows and reaches the lamo to light it
-
-
-
off : the lamp is not lit . the electric current does not flow
in an electric circuit ,a short circuit occurs when the elctric current is transpoted by the wires without possing through a load devicd
to detect a short circuit, we need to remember that electrons always take the easiest path; in other words,they flow along the path that offers the least resistance.For example,in the circuit in theigure,the current never passes traugh the lamps:it flows through the wire that creates a short circuit.
-
in these circuits, all the components are connected one after the other. this way,all the current flows trough all the load devices.there is one possible path for the electric current to flow through.
