This document provides an overview of basic electron theory and electrical concepts. It defines atoms, neutrons, protons, and electrons as the fundamental particles that make up matter. Elements are composed of atoms with the same number of protons, while compounds are formed by chemical bonds between elements. Current can be direct, flowing in one direction, or alternating, changing direction periodically. Conductors allow current to flow freely while insulators do not. Ohm's law describes the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance in an electrical circuit. Sources supply power to loads, which consume energy and convert it to another form.

Element- is a species of atoms having the same number of protons in their atomic nuclei.
Compound- is a substance formed when two or more
chemical elements are chemically bonded together.
Matter- occupies space and possesses rest mass
Energy- cannot be created nor destroyed.
OHMS LAW Deals with the relationship between voltage and current in an ideal conductor SOURCES & LOADS WHAT ARE SOURCES? Sources are devices that supply the electrical energy consumed by the load. WHAT ARE LOADS? Load is anything that consumes power and convert it to another form of energy. CHARACTERISTICS OF A CURRENT Direct current flows positive to negative terminal. Current flows in a close path.
Alternating current tends to go to the
ground. Current flows in a less resistive material. Alternating Current and Direct Current
DC- FLOWS ONLY IN ONE DIRECTION
AC- CHANGES ITS DIRECTION PERIODICALLY. CONDUCTOR is an object or type of materialwhereinelectric current can flow freely.
INSULATOR is an object or type of materialwhereinelectric current can flow freely. THE END
