Mr.

Thu Htoo: Hello everyone, there are


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:)

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:)

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.
