Electricity
The electric charge
It is a property that all objects
possess,
responsible for electrical phenomena
Atom parts
Electrons
negative charge
They can sometimes move and transfer charges to other objects
Protons
Positive charge
Neutrons
no charge
Electric current
It is a continuous movement of electrons
Tipes of materials
Conductors
allow electric currents to pass through
Insulators
don't allow electric currents
to pass through
Electric circuits
is a set of connected components
through
which an electric current flows
Elements of an electric circuit
Conductors
they join all the components of
a circuit to allow
the electricity to pass
cables
wires
Receptors
transform electrical energy into
another type of useful energy
electric resistors
thermal→heat
bell
acoustic→sound
motor
mechanical→motion
bulb
light→light
Control
components
they direct or interrupt
the electric current
A 2-way switch
one position allows the current and the other stops it
A 3-way switch
it has two outputs, one for each circuit
A push button
it has a fixed position that changes when pressed
Protection components
they interrupt the current when its to high
fuses
thermal magnetic circuit breakers
Generators
a device trat generates electric current,
it has two poles
(negative and positive)
Batteries
use chemical processes
Alternators or dynamos
motion→electricity
Photovoltaic solar cells
energy from the sun
Hydrogen cells
oxygen→energy
