What is
Electricity?
Electricity is used to
operate your cell
phone, power trains
and ships, run your
refrigerator, and power
motors in machines like
food processors.
Electric energy must be
changed to other forms
of energy such as heat,
light or mechanical in
order to be useful.

• Everything we see is made up of tiny little
parts called atoms. The atoms are made of
even smaller parts called protons, electrons
and neutrons.
• Sometimes electrons can be moved away from
their atoms.
• As we have seen in our study during the
first quarter, matter is composed of
atoms, which are composed of protons
(p+), neutrons (n0),
and electrons (e-).
• The protons are positively charged and are
found “locked” in the nucleus with the
neutrons.
• The electrons are negatively charged and are
moving around in the electron clouds,
and are not “locked”
into position.
• Neutrons have no charge.

• When it comes to charges, all objects
naturally are neutral.

Example
of Static
Electricity
When you unexpectedly
brushed your skin against
the surface of the metal,
the electrons from the
metallic surface
transferred to your skin.
Static Electricity is not
always weak all the time.
Lightning is a very powerful
static electricity.
• If you have ever experienced the discharge of
static electricity as you walk around on carpet
in your socked feet and then get shocked
when you touch something, then you know
that charge can be transferred.
• Anytime objects touch each other, there is a
transfer of electrons, as the electrons in the
outer energy levels of an atom, are held less
tightly, and can be torn away.
• If there are enough extra electrons accumulating,
then the object starts to get “charged” up and has
a noticeable difference in charge.
• If the charge dissipates quickly, no accumulation
can occur.
How Electric Current is Produced
• The current is defined as the rate of charge
movement or the movement of electrons
through an area over a given amount of time.
• Electric current is the flow of electrons
through a complete circuit of conductors. It is
measured in amperes.
• Current is used to power everything from our
lights to our trains.
• The faster the movement of electrons the
higher the current.
• Sometimes the flow of electrons is slowed down
by any number of factors. These factors include:
1. Materials – what the electrons are moving through
Answer the
Inquiry Lab on
page 243
In order for a current to flow, the
circuit must be closed; in other
words, there must be an
uninterrupted path from the
power source, through the circuit,
then back to the power source.

ACTIVITY 3.14: CHECK YOUR UNDERSTANDING
Write TRUE if the statement is correct and FALSE if not.
1. Batteries control the flow of electricity.
2. Copper has high resistance to electrical flow.
3. Switches are used to turn on or turn off a load.
4. Electricity is defined as the capacity to do work.
5. There are two or more switches in a parallel circuit.
6. Parallel circuit is a circuit two or more bulbs in a row.
7. A circuit breaker opens and closes an electrical circuit.
8. Electric wires are devices that use electricity from a source.
9. Televisions and radios are examples of a load in an electric circuit.
10. Conductors are materials that do not allow electricity to pass through.
11. Conductance is the capacity of an object to allow the passage of
electricity.
12. Electrical current is a closed path or loop around which an electric
current flows.
13. Current electricity is produced when two materials are rubbed against
each other.
14. Static electricity is produced when electrons are transferred to
another object by friction.
15. A transformer transports electricity to distant places where power
generators are not available.
