 Electricity

Electricity is an essential part

of our daily lives, powering
our homes, businesses, and
technological devices.
 What Is Electricity?

Electricity is a form of energy resulting

from the movement of charged particles,
typically electrons.

Electricity is often described as

being either static or dynamic. The
difference between the two is based
simply on whether the electrons are
at rest (static) or in motion
(dynamic).
 Static electricity
Static electricity is a build up of an electrical
charge on the surface of an object. It is considered
“static” due to the fact that there is no current
flowing as in AC or DC electricity.

Occurs when charges build up on an

object without flowing as a current (e.g.,
static shocks).
 Dynamic electricity
Dynamic electricity is the flow of
electric charges through a conductor;
in other words, an electric current.

Dynamic electricity producing a constant current

flow is generated primarily by turning a wire stator
or copper disk in a magnetic field which in turn
causes a current to flow in the wire.
 Electric Circuits

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

Materials that allow the easy flow of electric current.

Examples: Copper,
aluminum, and other
metals.
 Insulators

Materials that resist the flow of electric current.

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.

Common electrical hazards: Electric shock, fire, and

electrical burns.

Tips for staying safe around electricity: Avoid overloading

circuits, use insulated tools, and follow proper procedures.
