Introduction to Electricity

Electricity is a form of energy resulting from the existence of charged particles such as electrons or

protons. It is used to power many devices and is essential in our daily lives.

Electric Circuits

An electric circuit is a path through which electric current flows. It includes a power source,

conductors, and a load (such as a light bulb or motor).

Types of Circuits

There are two main types of circuits: series circuits and parallel circuits. In a series circuit,

components are connected end-to-end, while in a parallel circuit, components are connected across

common points.

Conductors and Insulators

Conductors are materials that allow electric current to flow easily, such as metals. Insulators are

materials that resist the flow of electric current, such as rubber or plastic.

Safety with Electricity

It is important to handle electricity with care to prevent accidents. Basic safety measures include not

touching electrical appliances with wet hands and not overloading power outlets.
