Study Notes
Electron Flow Theory
- Electricity is the movement of electrons through a conductor.
- Electrons flow from a negative to a positive terminal.
- Conventional current flow assumes electricity moves from positive to negative.
- The conventional current flow is widely used in circuit analysis.
Atoms and Subatomic Particles
- All matter is composed of atoms.
- Atoms consist of:
- Protons, with a positive charge.
- Neutrons, with a neutral charge.
- Electrons, with a negative charge.
