Study Notes
Conductors of Electricity
- Materials that allow electricity to flow through them easily are called conductors.
- Metals are good conductors of electricity.
Non-Metal Conductors
- Carbon is the only non-metal that is a good conductor of electricity.
Electrical Safety
- Insulators are used to protect from the dangerous effects of electricity.
Electrical Energy
- Generators provide a form of energy called electrical energy.
Efficient Energy
- Electrical energy is one of the most efficient, pollution-free, and useful forms of energy.
Electric Testers
- The bulb in an electric tester glows when there is a flow of electricity.
- The free ends of the electric tester should not be joined for an extended period to prevent overheating.
- A weak current through a circuit can cause the bulb to glow faintly or not at all.
Magnetic Compass
- A magnetic compass in an electric tester is used to detect the presence of a magnetic field.
LED
- LED stands for Light-Emitting Diode in the context of the electric tester.
