ELECTRICITY
Energy transformation and types
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be transformed into other types of energy. These are some examples of different types of energy:
Mechanical energy
Thermal energy
Nuclear energy
Chemical energy
Electromagnetic energy
Sonic energy
Gravitational energy
Kinetic energy
Potential energy
Ionization energy
What is electricity?
Electricity is the set of physical phenomenon related to the presence and flow of electrical charges.
Conductor and insulator materials
Conductor = substance or material that allows energy to flow through it.
Silver
Gold
Cooper
Steel
Sea water
Insulator = any material that keeps energy heat or cold, from easy transferring through.
Oil
Diamond
Glass
Dry wood
Rubber
Electrical circuit components
Conductors
: Join all the components of the circuit
Control components
: Direct or interrupt the follow of the electric current
Receptors
: Electrical energy --> useful work
Protection components
: Interrupt electric current when is too high
Generators
: Generate and maintain the electric current
Electrical magnitudes
Ohm's Law
Resistance
Voltage
Current
The short circuit
Electricity flows better the
less resistance
and the
greater electrical current
