Day 1 Basic Electricity

What is Electric Current?

Back

Electric current is the flow of electric charge, typically measured in amperes (A). It represents the movement of electrons through a conductor.

What are Free Electrons?

Back

Free electrons are electrons that are not bound to an atom and can move freely within a material, contributing to electrical conductivity.

Front

What is Conventional Current?

Back

Conventional current is the flow of electric charge that is considered to flow from positive to negative, opposite to the actual flow of electrons.

Front

What is Electromagnetism?

Back

Electromagnetism is a fundamental force of nature that describes the interaction between electrically charged particles, and it is the most common source of generating electricity.

Front

What is an Element in Chemistry?

Back

An element is a pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means, consisting of only one type of atom.

Front

What is Voltage?

Back

Voltage, or electric potential difference, is the measure of electric potential energy per unit charge, driving the flow of current in a circuit.

Front

What is Resistance?

Back

Resistance is the opposition to the flow of electric current, measured in ohms (Ω), and it determines how much current will flow for a given voltage.

Front

What is Ohm's Law?

Back

Ohm's Law states that the current (I) through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage (V) across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance (R): V = I × R.

Front

What is a Circuit?

Back

A circuit is a closed loop that allows electric current to flow, consisting of a power source, conductors, and a load.

Front

What is a Conductor?

Back

A conductor is a material that allows the flow of electric current, typically metals like copper and aluminum.
