True - Electricity is the flow of electrons in a closed circuit.\ True - Current electricity involves the flow of electrons through a conductor.\ False - ACSR is Aluminum Cable Steel Reinforced.\ True - Franklin discovered that lightning and static electricity were the same phenomenon.\ True - Electricity produced from magnetism requires the movement of a coil and a magnet.\ False - Protons carry a negative charge and are located in the nucleus of an atom.\ True - Matter is composed of atoms, and atoms consist of electrons, protons, and neutrons.\ False - Insulators are materials that allow electric charges to move freely.\ False - The resistance of a material decreases as its temperature increases.\ True - Electrons are lighter than protons and carry a negative charge.\ False - In an open circuit, current can still flow between two disconnected terminals.\ True - Georg Ohm is known for formulating the law that relates current, voltage, and resistance.\ False - A short circuit occurs when the resistance between two terminals is infinitely high.\ False - Direct current (DC) changes direction periodically, while alternating current (AC) flows in one direction only.\ True - Electrons in the outermost shell of an atom are known as valence electrons.\ True - Silver is a better conductor of electricity than copper.\ False - The unit of resistance is the ampere.\ True - In a conventional current flow, current moves from the positive terminal to the negative.\ False - Electric current is the flow of protons through a conductor.\ True - The SI unit for voltage is the volt.
