Electric Charge-is carried by the electrons and proton within an atom.

Electrons carry negative charge,


while protons carry positive charge.

The SI unit of electric charge is Coulomb.

Free Electrons-are electrons which are not attached to a specific atom and its free to move. It is
sometime called as conduction electrons.

Electric Current - rate of electron movement or electron flow in a given material. The SI unit of current is
Coulomb per second or commonly called Ampere.

Electron Drift Velocity-the drift velocity of the conduction electrons is very small since the number of
free electrons in a conductor is very large.

Electromotive Force(EMF or voltage)-the energy provided by a cell or battery or a generator per


coulomb of charge passing through it. The SI unit of emf is joule per coulomb or commonly called volt.

Electric Energy and Power Electric energy is a form of energy used to run or operate various electrical
devices. Standard unit of electrical energy is Joule. The other common units are kilowatt-hour and
megawatt-hour.

Electric power is the rate of consuming the electric energy Standard unit of electrical power is Watt.
