    Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus, while electrons orbit the nucleus. Electric charge is a property related to the number of electrons an atom has. Atoms gain a negative charge if they gain electrons, or a positive charge if they lose electrons. There are two main types of electricity: static electricity involves the buildup of electric charges without movement, while current electricity involves the flow of electrons through a wire.

    Unit 10 – Lesson 1 :

    What Is Electricity?

    What is Atom ?

    • Atoms are the building blocks of matter.


    • Atoms are so small you cannot see them with your eyes alone.

    What are the smaller particles of atom?

    1. Protons: have a positive charge (+1).


    2. Electrons: have a negative charge (–1).
    3. Neutrons: are neutral. They have no charge.

    Where does proton and electron locate ?

    Proton and neutron are found in a region of the atom called the nucleus.

    What is electric charge ?

    Electric charge is a property of a particle that affects how it behaves around other particles.
    Charge Types:

    1. If an atom gains electrons, it will have a negative charge.


    2. If a neutral atom loses an electron, it will have a positive charge.

    Electron = protons Atom Gain electron Atom lose electron


    (natural atom) (Negative Charge) (Positive Charge)

    Types of electricity:

    Static electricity
    Current Electricity
    Static electricity is the buildup of
    electric charges on objects. The flow of electrons inside the
    Static means “not moving.” wire called an electric current.

    Example:
    Example:
    • Lighting
    • electrical devices (phone –
    • Rub balloon on your hair
    laptop ..)
    Label parts of wire:

    What is Electrostatic discharge?

    The jumping of electrons from one object to another.

    Example:
    • Shocked after walking across a rug

    What is lightening ?

    Lightning is a huge electrostatic discharge.
