Electricity Flashcards
Define Electricity
Electricity is the flow of electric charge, usually carried by electrons.
What is Static Electricity?
The accumulation of electric charge on a surface, caused by friction and resulting in an imbalance.
What is Current Electricity?
The continuous flow of electric charge through a circuit, driven by a voltage difference.
What is an Electric Charge?
A fundamental property of particles, with positive charges carried by protons and negative charges by electrons.
How is electricity generated using solar or wind power?
Wind turns turbines, and solar panels convert sunlight, both generating electricity without harmful emissions.
Electrical components
Key components include resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, transistors, batteries, and switches. Understand their symbols and roles in circuits.
