WHAT IS ELECTRICITY?
Electricity is a form of energy
resulting from the existence and
flow of electric charge.
It powers our homes, gadgets, and
industries, playing a crucial role
in modern life.
 ELECTRIC CHARGE
Electric charge is a fundamental
property of matter, with two types:
positive and negative.
Like charges: Repel each other.
Opposite charges: Attract each
other.
ELECTROSTATIC FORCE
Electrostatic force is the force of
attraction or repulsion between charged
objects at rest.
Coulomb's Law: States that the force is
directly proportional to the product of
charges and inversely proportional to
the square of the distance between
them.
ELECTRICAL POTENTIAL
Electrical potential, measured in volts, is the
electric potential energy per unit charge at a
point in space.
It drives the flow of electric current and is
vital in understanding electrical circuits.
 VOLTAGE, CURRENT,
AND RESISTANCE
Voltage: Potential difference driving electric
current, measured in volts.
Current: Flow of electric charge, measured in
amperes (A).
Resistance: Opposition to current flow, measured in
ohms (Ω). Follows Ohm's Law (V = I * R).
 ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS

An electrical circuit is a closed loop through

which electric current can flow.
Components: Include voltage sources, resistors,
and conductors.
Series vs. Parallel: Different configurations
affect current flow.
APPLICATIONS OF ELECTRICITY
• Everyday life: Powering lights,
appliances, and electronic
devices.
• Industries: Driving machinery
and manufacturing processes.
• Medicine: Used in various
medical devices.
 SAFETY TIPS

Handling electricity safely: Avoiding

electrical hazards, proper wiring, and
use of safety equipment.
Importance: Ensuring safety is paramount
when working with electricity.
 CONCLUSION
Electricity is a fundamental force
powering our modern world.
Understanding its principles is crucial
for safe and effective use.
