Basic Electricity, This flow is called electric current, image, image,…

- - - - SERIES CIRCUITS: In this circuit all the components are conected one after the other. There is only one possible path for the main current
      - PARALLEL CIRCUITS: In these circuits, the load devices are conected on different branches of the wire. There are several possible paths for the electric current to flow through
      - SERIES-PARALLEL: These circuits contain devices connected series and in parallel.
    - - when we analize,we need to define variables, there are 3 main variables:
        
        Current: intensity of the current. Its unit of measurment is the ampere (A)
        
        Voltage/potential difference: Difference in charge between two points, wich makes the electrons move. Its unit of measurment is the volt (V)
        
        Resistance: Opposition to the flow of the electric current. Its unit of measurement is the ohm.
      - Equation
    - - Parallel
        
        The load devices are connected on different branches on the wire. There are several possible paths for the elctric current to flow through
      - Series-parallel
        
        They contain devices connected in series and in parallel
      - Series
        
        All the components are conected one after the other. There is only one possible path for the electric current to flow through.
    - - RESPONSIBLE USE OF ELECTRICAL ENERGY: When we save energy,we save money too but more importantly, we save natural resources and help to protect the enviroment. This is why we need to consme responsibily and only use the energy we need and always in moderation
      - ENVIROMENTAL IMPACT OF ENERGY PRODUCTION AND TRANSMISSION: Electrical energy is generated industrially in power stations ,which convert a form of energy to electrical energy. Many power stations have an impact on our enviromentbecause they pollute the atmosphere
    - - HEAT: When electrons move through a conductor or load device, they created friction with the material as they pass through
      - SOUND: We can use electrical energy to transmit spunds through microphonesandwe can produce sound effects through sirens, buzzers and bells
      - LIGHT: We can convert electricity to light through load devices such as incanescent lamps.
      - MOTION: We can also convert electricity to motion using a motor. The effect obtained when we make an electric current flow through a motor is that its shaft turnsin a rotary motion
