three members in our group: Eaint Hmue, Thu Htoo and Hein Htet. Mr. Thu Htoo: (First of all, we would like to talk about static electricity. We get static electricity when nonmetal, uncharged materials start to get charged because of an action such as: force of friction, etc., ranging from a balloon rubbed by a cloth and become charged, to lightnings. When being rubbed with each other, the electrons jump from one substance to another, causing their charges to change to positive if it was negative and vice versa. -Static electricity cannot flow through electric current like dynamic electricity. -It does not have an origin where it starts from, like a power plant or a generator. -It becomes discharged in a considerably short period of time.)
Eaint Hmue: (If we move on to dynamic
electricity, which is like a moving type of current and can flow through electric circuits and usually starts from things such as powerplants and generators. In electric currents, the electrons of the particles flow through one another, creating the flow of the current. Some materials are easy for electrons to flow through, but some are not. These are called: “Conductors and insulators”; conductors are things which electricity can flow through easily and insulators are the ones that resist it, making it harder for electricity to pass through. Both can be used in different places. Conductors are used to make electrical equipment whereas insulators are for safety electrical equipment. Examples: almost all of the metals are considered conductors, for instance, copper, gold, etc. except from a particular metal named “Bismuth” which has a very low conductivity compared to other metals making it virtually impossible to be a conductor. Things such as: rubber, glass, oil, diamond, drywood are considered to be insulators.) Hein Htet: (There are different types of circuits in which electricity flow through: such as closed circuits, open circuits, short circuits, series circuits and parallel circuits but we will mainly focus on series and parallel. In a series circuit, components of the circuits are connected in a single path and less wire is needed to make it. In it, current of every component are the same and the voltage can be measured by adding all voltage of the components in the circuit. And if any components of it are damaged, the circuit becomes unfunctional. Now we’ve done an experiment on series circuit by building one. Enjoy:) (Show the video) Hein Htet: (In parallel circuit, components of the circuits are connected completely in parallel and more wire is needed to make it, compared to the series circuit. The actual current of the circuit can be found before and after electricity has passed through the components. The voltage of every component is the same and the circuit is still functional even after a component is damaged. And we’ve also built a parrel circuit as an experiment. Enjoy:) (Show the video)
Hein Htet: This is the end of the
presentation. Thank you for your time and attention. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to let us know.
