Introduction

Have you ever watch a lightning strike? Did you ever wonder where all the power behind it came from?

Did you know :

Lightning and thunder come together at the same time, Thunder and lightning happen at approximately the
same time but as you are watching the sky, we see the lightning before we hear the thunder. That is because
light travels much faster than sound waves. We can estimate the distance of the lightning by counting how many
seconds it takes until we hear the thunder.

Electric Eel is capable of generating

electric shocks, Electric Eel has the ability to
generate electrons enough to stun their prey.

That electricity can be generated through

friction, Rubbing two objects can generate
electrons through friction.

Electricity

● Connotes a phenomenon which is known more by its effects

● You can only see, feel, or hear its effect;

Heat Light Sounds

● Electricity is one of the reasons of Mechanical Movements

The History of Electricity

1. In 600 BC Thales of Miletus 2. In 1600, William Gilbert first
rubs amber (electron in coined the term "electricity"
Greek) with cut fur and picks from the Greek word for amber
up bits of feathers. and considered as the father of
electricity.
 3. In 1752, Benjamin Franklin 4. In 1800, Alessandro Volta
proved that static electricity invented the first electric battery
and lightning were the same known as “Voltaic Cell”. The
things. Term volt is named in his
honor.

5. In 1820, Andre Marie 6. In 1821, Michael Faraday

Neutron
2. Explain the theories concerning the flow of electron

II. Module Overview

In this module, we will discuss the properties of electricity. We will discuss the components of Atom,
properties of electricity, and theories concerning the flow of electrons.

Introduction

Did you that Matter is composed of molecules and molecules

are composed of atoms and atoms are composed of tiny particles
namely Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons.

Protons - are positively charge

Electrons - are negatively charge
Neutrons - have no charge

Remember: Opposite electrical charges always attract each other.

Like electrical charges always repel.

Electrons rotate around the atom at different orbits called Rings,

Orbits, or Shells

Types of Electrons

1. Bound electrons – orbit the nucleus on the inner rings.

It has a strong magnetic attraction to nucleus.

2. Free electrons – orbit the nucleus of an atom normally in the form of static
electricity. It orbit on the outermost ring which is known as the valence ring.

3. Valence electrons – orbiting the outermost shell of the atom. Weakly held
by the positive charges and can be transferred to one or more other atoms.

Theories Concerning the flow of Current

1. The Conventional Theory assumes that current flows out of the

positive terminal (+), through the circuit and into the negative terminal (-) of
the source. This was the convention chosen during the discovery of electricity.
This direction of flow is used throughout electronics and it is the one you
should remember and use to understand the operation of circuit.

2. The Electron Theory states that current flow from negative to

positive. It is what actually happens and electrons flow out of the negative
terminal, through the circuit and into the positive terminal of the source. The
electron was discovered in 1897 and it was found to have a negative charge.
The guess made in the early days of electricity was wrong! Electricity in
almost all conductors is really the flow of electrons (negative charge) from
Negative (-) to Positive (+).

Components of Electricity

1. The Voltage the electrical force known as Electro Motive Force that
pushes the electrons to move through a conductor. Voltage measurements
can use different value prefixes such as millivolt, volt, Kilovolt, and Megavolt.
2. The Current the quantity or flow rate of electrons moving past a point within one second. Current
flow is also known as amperage, or
amps for short. Current flow is
measured in units called Amperes or
AMPS. Amperage measurements can
use different value prefixes, such as
micro amp, milliamp, and Amp.

3. The Resistance the force that

reduces or stops the flow of electrons. It
opposes voltage. Higher resistance will
decrease the flow of electrons and lower
resistance will allow more electrons to flow. Resistance is measured in units called OHMS. Resistance
measurements can use different value prefixes, such as Kilo ohm and Mega ohm.
