    Electricity Basics

    • Electricity is a form of energy resulting from the movement of charged particles, such as electrons.
    • It is a secondary energy source, derived from other energy sources like coal, natural gas, or nuclear reactions.

    Electric Charge

    • Electric charge is a fundamental property of matter, measured in coulombs (C).
    • There are two types of electric charge:
      • Positive charge (protons)
      • Negative charge (electrons)

    Electric Current

    • Electric current is the flow of electrons, measured in amperes (A).
    • It is the movement of charged particles, typically electrons, through a conductor.
    • Current flow is from negative to positive terminals.

    Electric Circuit

    • An electric circuit is a path through which electric current flows.
    • It consists of:
      • A power source (e.g., battery)
      • A conductor (e.g., wire)
      • A load (e.g., light bulb)
      • A switch (optional)

    Electric Voltage

    • Electric voltage is the potential difference between two points, measured in volts (V).
    • It is the "pressure" that drives electric current.
    • Voltage is the force that pushes electric charge through a circuit.

    Resistance

    • Resistance is the opposition to electric current, measured in ohms (Ω).
    • It depends on the material, length, and cross-sectional area of the conductor.
    • Higher resistance reduces electric current.

    Ohm's Law

    • Ohm's Law states: V = I × R
      • Voltage (V) is equal to current (I) multiplied by resistance (R)
    • This law relates voltage, current, and resistance in a circuit.

    Electric Power

    • Electric power is the rate at which electric energy is transferred, measured in watts (W).
    • It is calculated by: P = V × I
      • Power (P) is equal to voltage (V) multiplied by current (I)
