Electricity is the set of physical phenomena associated with the presence and
flow of electric charge. Electricity gives a wide variety of well-known effects, such as
lightning, static electricity, electromagnetic induction and electrical current.
2.

There are two types of Electricity, Static Electricity and Current Electricity. Static Electricity is made by rubbing
together two or more objects and making friction while Current electricity is the flow of electric charge across an
electrical field.

Static Electricity

4.

Static electricity is when electrical charges build up on the surface of a material. It is usually caused by rubbing
materials together. The result of a build-up of static electricity is that objects may be attracted to each other or may
even cause a spark to jump from one to the other. For Example rub a baloon on a wool and hold it up to the wall.

5.

Before rubbing, like all materials, the balloons and the wool sweater have a neutral charge. This is because they
each have an equal number of positively charged subatomic particles (protons) and negatively charged subatomic
particles (electrons). When you rub the balloon with the wool sweater, electrons are transferred from the wool to
the rubber because of differences in the attraction of the two materials for electrons. The balloon becomes
negatively charged because it gains electrons from the wool, and the wool becomes positively charged because it
loses electrons.

Current Electricity

7.

Current is the rate of flow of electrons. It is produced by moving electrons and it is measured in amperes. Unlike
static electricity, current electricity must flow through a conductor, usually copper wire. Current with electricity is just
like current when you think of a river. The river flows from one spot to another, and the speed it moves is the speed
of the current. With electricity, current is a measure of the amount of energy transferred over a period of time. That
energy is called a flow of electrons. One of the results of current is the heating of the conductor. When an electric
stove heats up, it's because of the flow of current.

8.

There are different sources of current electricity including the chemical reactions taking place in a battery. The
most common source is the generator. A simple generator produces electricity when a coil of copper turns inside a
magnetic field. In a power plant, electromagnets spinning inside many coils of copper wire generate vast quantities
of current electricity.

9.

There are two main kinds of electric current. Direct (DC) and Alternating (AC). It's easy to remember. Direct current
is like the energy you get from a battery. Alternating current is like the plugs in the wall. The big difference between
the two is that DC is a flow of energy while AC can turn on and off. AC reverses the direction of the electrons.
