Learning Objective
At the end of the lesson, you will understand basic concepts of electricity, including charge, current, voltage, and circuits.
What do you already know about electricity?
What is Electricity?
Electricity is the flow of electric charge. It powers our homes and devices, making it essential in daily life.
Electric Charge
Electric charge is a property of particles. Protons are positive, electrons are negative. Like charges repel, opposites attract.
Electric Current
Current is the flow of electric charge. Measured in amperes (A), it represents how much charge flows through a conductor.
Voltage Explained
Voltage is the potential difference between two points. Measured in volts (V), it drives current through a circuit.
Simple Circuits
A circuit is a closed loop that allows current to flow. It requires a power source, conductor, and load.
Conductors and Insulators
Conductors allow electric flow; insulators do not. Metals are good conductors, while rubber and wood are insulators.
Interactive Activity
Let's build a simple circuit using a battery, wires, and a bulb. Observe how electricity flows.
