Electrical Energy By: Julian Rundel and Samantha MacKay

2 What is Electricity? Current electricity is the flow of negatively charged particles called electrons. Static electricity is a positive charged object attracting a negative charged object.

3 Electrons Electrons are negatively charged particles in a atom. Atoms are particles of matter.

4 Electrical Circuits Parts of an circuit are a load, conductors, energy source, and electrons. The electrons travel from the energy source Travel through the conductors  powers the load  starts all over again.

5 Direct Current (D.C) Flows in one direction through the electrical circuit.

6 Alternating Current (A.C)
Changes direction through the electrical circuit.

7 What are the disadvantages with fossil fuels?
1: Cause pollution to the environment and it is harming animals and humans while it is burning. 2: They are not renewable. If we keep relying on fossil fuels they will run out.

8 Power plants ( how it`s made)
Electricity is made in power plants. Electricity is made from burning fossil fuels. Some examples of fossil fuels are coal, oil and natural gas.

9 Biomass in electricity
Instead of fossil fuels, biomass fuels are important to! Some biomass fuels are energy crops, human and animal manure, wood waste, fruit Burn the fuel produces steam  Steam turns a turbine  turbine powers a generator sends a electrical current  powers our homes.

10 Geothermal into electrical
People drill holes inside the earths core  steam rises out from the earths core  steam turns the turbine turbine powers the generator  makes an electrical current

11 Hydro into electricity
Water flows into a dam  there`s a pumper inside the dam that turns the water into steam underground  steam turns the turbine to power the generator  that makes a electrical current

12 Solar Power into Electricity
When the solar cells capture light and heat, an electric current is made. Two types of solar power plants: 1:Uses the solar cells to turn sunlight into electricity. 2:Uses mirrors to shine light on to a tower which pumps liquid into steam which turns the turbine that powers the generator that makes an electrical current.

13 Wind into electricity The wind spins the turbine  turbine powers the gearbox  sending power to the generator  sending a electrical current to our homes.

14 Every Day Living -Electricity is everywhere -Battery -Outlet -Lightbulb -D.T.E -Electronics -Lightning -Communication -Telegraph -The power point you`re reading this moment! -renewable Click play on the video below:

15 Conclusion Electricity can be made in many different ways. Electricity helps us live our lives . Electricity is awesome! Click play on video below - This is a good summery of electricity:
