 What is Electricity?
Electricity is usually generated from the
conversion of energy source, such as fossil fuels,
solar wind, and falling water

 The Atom and Its parts
The matter is made up of atoms, which are
made-up of even smaller parts. The nucleus is
the part located at the center of the atom is
based. The nucleus consists of two kinds of
particles: protons and neurons. Protons are
the positively charged particles in the nucleus,
while neutrons are the particles without
charge. All protons have the same charge.
Protons and neutrons make up the same mass
of an atom.

 Surrounding the nucleus are the electrons.
Electrons are the negatively charged particles of
an atom. All electrons have the same charge,
which is equal in value with the charge of a
proton but opposite in sign. While protons are
stationary within the nucleus of an atom,
electrons can jump from one atom to another.
Hence, the charge of an object, or a part of an
object, depends on how much excess electrons
it has (negative) or how few its electrons are
compared to protons (positive).

 Static electricity is the accumulation of
electric charges on the surface of objects. This
phenomenon is usually caused by friction. It is
called “static” because it does not involve
continuous movement of charged particles.
