ELECTRICITY
Electric Circuits
Conductors
Transport electrical energy
Wires
Load devices
Receive electrical energy
Motors, lamps, buzzers, resistors...
Power sources
Supply the necessary electrical energy
Cells
Bateries
Control devices
Regulate the circuit
One-way switches, push switches, two-way switches
Open and Closed circuits
Closed
When the electricity current can flows
Open
When the electricity current cannot flow
Short
When the electric current is transported by the wires
Types of circuit
Series-parallel combination circuits
It contains devices connected in series and in parallel
Parallel circuits
The load devices are connected on different branches of the wire
Series circuits
All components are connected one after the other
Conductors & Insulators
Conductors
Let electric currents flow trough them
Insulators
Do not let electric currents flow trough them
Electrical Energy
Definition
Is the most common form of energy
It can be transported over long distances
It can easly be transformed into other form of energy
Converting Electrical Energy
Electrical energy can be converted to other types of energy
Light
Others...
Heat
Sound
Motion
Energy and the Environment
Responsible use of electrical energy
When we save energy, we save the environment and natural resources, this is why we should only use the energy we need
Environmental impact of energy production
Electrical energy is produced in power stations, many of these pollute the environment, pollute the water etc.
The use of renewable energy is being promoted as a green alternative
Static Energy
Definition
Is a phenomenom caused by the accomulation of charge in a material
What causes this phenomenom?
The imbalance between positive and negative charges
Definition
It's a form of energy that lets negatively charged particles move from one atom to another
