Electricity First Ideas

1. electricity can go in a circuits thats why we use wires and cables to help the current flow through to get to electronics such as computers,phones,TV and lights we need electricity because then people wont be able to chat if there in different countries or if they were brainstorming for work and most of all so kids can watch TV all day. there are 2 types of circuits parallel and series if you have parallel and unplug 1 light the other one still goes but if you have series and you unplug one light they both turn off.

2. electricity comes from huge factories hydro,wind,solar,coal and oil and also nuclear power

3. electrical safety is very important because electricity flows at very high voltage so it could injure your-self or even cause death so be very careful when around electricity

4. conductors and insulators are things that let electricity flow through witch are conductors and things that stop the electricity from going through are insulators

5. switches can be made of one conductors touches the other which make the electricity flow through you can make many types of switches you make a pressure one or a one you just turn off a on.

6. components are like magnets if positive and negative will quickly stick to each other with a force called magnitisim but if negative and negative will repulse from each other the same thing happens when positive and positive get close.

7. It can be used in an animal like electric eels, oriental hornet

8. it is a source of energy out of many types like kinetic energy,potential energy,thermal energy,chemical energy
