This document provides an introduction to electrical installation and maintenance. It defines electricity as the movement of charged particles like protons and electrons. It discusses important historical figures in electricity like Thales of Miletus and William Gilbert. It also defines key electrical terms like ampere, voltage, watt, direct current, alternating current and standard electrical units of measurement. The goals are to explain basic electrical concepts, promote their importance, and illustrate their significance through student assignments like a poster and illustration.

SUBJECT TEACHER WIRE ELECTRICITY MEASURING TOOLS GOALS for THE DAY explain the basic concepts in electrical installation and maintenance; promote the importance of knowing basic concepts in electrical installation and maintenance; and create an illustration showing the importance of knowing the basic concepts in EIM. INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE ELECTRICITY Is a form of energy which results from the movement of charged particles (protons and electrons) THALES OF MILETUS Greek philosopher who discovered electricity at a at around 585 BC WILLIAM GILBERT (1600) Coined the term electrica. ELECTRICITY CONSIST OF THE FOLLOWING:
• ELECTRON- The negative charge of
electricity • PROTON- The positive charge of electricity. • NEUTRON- A particle that is not electrically charge. STANDARD UNITS IN ELECTRICITY AMPERE (A)- named after Andre Marie Ampere. STANDARD UNITS IN ELECTRICITY VOLTAGE (V)- The electromotive force that causes the electricity to move through a conductor. Alessandro Volta STANDARD UNITS IN ELECTRICITY WATT-It refers to power used or consumed. James Watt ( Scottish Engineer DC(DIRECT CURRENT) The friction or opposition to the flow of current in DC is called resistance. ALTERNATING CURRENT (AC)- The friction LETS THINK! Do you think that having knowledge and skills in EIM is enough for you to deal with the electrical problems in your household? Justify your answer. LETS THINK! What is the importance of having knowledge and skills in EIM? POSTER MAKING Let the students illustrate the importance of electricity in their daily lives. ASSIGNMENT Let the students illustrate the importance of electricity in their daily lives.
