Electricity

Electricity is a form of energy that comes from the movement of tiny particles called electrons in atoms. It can make things light up, move, or work.

Key Points About Electricity

1. Conductors and Insulators

   • Conductors: Materials that allow electricity to flow easily (e.g., copper, aluminum).

   • Insulators: Materials that stop electricity from flowing (e.g., rubber, plastic).

2. Current

   • Electric current is the flow of electrons through a wire or material.

   • Measured in amperes (A).

3. Voltage

   • Voltage is the push that makes electricity flow.

   • Measured in volts (V).

4. Power

   • Power is the rate at which electricity is used.

   • Measured in watts (W).

5. Sources of Electricity

   • Batteries (chemical energy → electrical energy)

   • Power plants (coal, water, wind, or solar energy → electrical energy)
