ELECTRICITY
by: Yla May V. Villareal
Electricity
Electric Circuit is a
closed loop through
which an electric
current can flow.
Components of a basic
circuit: Source (battery
or power supply),
conductor (wires), and
load (device using the
electricity).
Conductors
Examples: Copper,
aluminum, and other
metals.
Insulators
Examples: Rubber,
plastic, glass.
Voltage, Current, and
Resistance
Voltage, Current, and
Resistance
Voltage: The electric potential difference,
measured in volts (V).
Current: The flow of electric charge, measured in
amperes (A).
Resistance: The opposition to the flow of current,
measured in ohms (Ω).
Electrical Safety
Importance of electrical safety: Preventing electrical hazards
is crucial for personal and public safety.
