Electricity
ELECTRIC CIRCUITS: Is a series of interconnected componets that an electric current flows through to produce an effect 
CONDUCTORS:Components that are transport the electrical energy from the power sources to the load devices
-
-
LOAD DEVICES:receive the electrical energy from the power sources and convert it to other types of useful energy
-
POWER SOURCES: supply the necessaryelectrical energy to the rest of the circuit in the order tomobe de electrons

OHM'S LAW
CURRENT:This is the intensity of the current or the amount of electrons flowing through a conductor over a certain time. Its unit of measurement in the International System is the ampere or amp A.
VOLTAGE:This is the difference in the charge between two points, which makes the electrons move. When we connect a cell to a circuit, there is a potential difference between the two ends of the cell, which forces the electrons to move. Its unit of measurement in the International System is the volt V
RESISTANCE:This is the opposition to the flow of the electric current. Its unit of measurement in the International System is the ohm (♎️). The components of a circuit that put up the most resistance are the load devices.

Converting electrical energy
Ligth
We can convert electricity to light through load devices such as incandescent lamps, fluorescent tubes and electronic or low-energy 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 turns in a rotary motion.
Sound
to transmit sounds through microphones and we can produce sound effects through sirens, buzzers and bells. The sound that comes out of a loudspeaker is produced by vibrations in a membrane that are caused by electrical energy.
Heat
When electrons move through a conductor or load device, they create friction with the material as they pass through, which produces heat. This effect is known as the Joule effect.

TYPES OF CIRCUITS
SERIES:In these circuits, all the components are connected one after the other. This way, all the current flows through all the load devices. There is only one possible path for the electric current to flow through.
-
PARALLEL:In these circuits, the load devices are connected 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 in series and in parallel.
In this case, the circuits have properties of both series circuits and parallel circuits.
-
All materials are made up of very small particles called atoms.
There are 3 types:
PROTONS: positive charge
ELECTRONS: negative charge
NEUTRONS
ELECTRICITY is a form of energy that letsnegatively charged particles (electrons)move fromone atom to another
-
ELECTRICAL ENERGY is the most common from of energy becouse it is easy to obtain, it can be transported over long distances and it can easily be transformed into many other forms of energy
