Electricity
by Nicholas Oweis
Currents
- Currents are continuous flows of electrons.
- In everyday life, currents are everywhere, when you see a street light, there is a current of flowing electricity going up the pole into the light bulb.
Resistance
- Electricity can't pass through anything easily. Electricity sometimes has a difficult time flowing, what causes this is resistance.
- In everyday life, you see resistance in the rubber around the cord on your phone charger.
Circuits
- An electrical circuit is a path in which electrons from a voltage or current source flow. An electric current flow in a closed path called an electric circuit. The point where those electrons enter an electrical circuit is called the "source" of electrons.
- in everyday life, you can see circuits when you are in a house with a power source going into a room with a light bulb.
