2. Click on the video below: Definitiondefinition Current electricity is the flow of negatively charged particles called electrons. Static electricity: Static electricity is when two objects rub against each other and the electrons attract from one object to another.

3. electrons Electrons are tiny particles that flow through wires which creates electricity.

4. circuits Parts of a circuit: • Battery [power source] • Lightbulb[load] • Conductor [wire] • Insulator [rubber on the wire] • Switch [optional]

5. direct current [d.c] Direct current is a flow of electrons going in a straight path in one direction.

6. Alternating current [a.c.]alternating current [a.c.] Alternating current is the flow of electrons changing directions.

7. Where does electrical energy come from? Electrical energy is created in a place called a power plant. These are some examples of fossil fuels. Oil Wood Gasoline Coal Natrual gas

8. Alternative fuels Alternative fuels are things that help create electricity. Here are some alternative fuels: Wind energy Hydro power Biomass Geothermal energy Wave power Tidal power [“Tidal power energy is produced when a dam catches water at high tide and then releases it through an electricity-generating turbine at low tide.”]

9. General living We use electrical energy every day. Here are some examples we use in a every day living: See by light Communicate Use internet Light bulb Battery Computer Outlet Laptop D.T.E ESSENTIAL Click on the video below:

10. conclusion In conclusion, electricity is everywhere, and comes in many different ways.
