Basic Concepts of Electricity

It is defined as the flow of electron or electric current. It is an invisible form of energy that can be transformed into other forms of energy like heat light and mechanical.

• Electricity
• Electron
• Elecrtrical
• Election

The negatively charged component of an atom. It has the ability to flow.

• Electron
• Proton
• Neutron
• Atom

The positively charged component of an atom. It has the ability to attract electron.

• Electron
• Proton
• Neutron
• Atom

Anything that occupy space and has mass. It can be a solid, liquid or gas in state.

• Matter
• Atom
• Electricity
• Object

Basic component of matter. It composes of a nucleus which is the central part, the protons and electrons.

• Atom
• Proton
• Electron
• Neutron

Same as electricity or flow of electron. This is the amount flowing in a circuit can be measured in ampere (I).

• Current
• Voltage
• Resistance
• Conductors

The amount of pulling force that makes the electron flow. Also known as potential difference or EMF (electromotive force). 

• Current
• Voltage
• Resistance
• Insulators

Defined as the opposition to the flow of current. The amount can be measure in ohms (Ω).

• Current
• Insulators
• Resistance
• Conductors

Materials that easily allow the flow of current, or it has a low resistance to current flow.

• Conductors
• Insulators
• Resistance
• Voltage

Materials that do not easily allow the flow of current, or it has a high resistance to current flow.

• Conductors
• Insulators
• Resistance
• Current
