1. Electronics Electricity, Components And Circuits

2. Electricity What is it?

3. The Atom

4. Electricity is Created When… One or more electrons are dislodged from an Atom. These free electrons become electricity. If an Atom is missing one of its electrons it becomes a positive Ion. If an Atom gains a extra electron it will become a negative Ion.

5. Electricity is created from.. -Heat -Friction -Nuclear reaction -Light -Chemical reaction -Magnetism

6. Key Terms - Conductor – allows electrons to flow through it - Insulator – blocks the flow of electrons - Current – a flow of electrons - Circuit – the path that electrical energy travels - Component – any electrical part that makes up a circuit - Terminal – the place where you connect a wire to a component.

7. Complete Circuit

8. Series VS Parallel Circuits

9. Series Circuit Complete PathPath is Broken

10. Parallel Circuit Clear path is still present

11. Componets

12. Key/Switch Opens or closes a circuit

13. Battery Stores energy and gradually lets it out as called for

14. Speaker Changes electrical energy to sound

15. Transistor Acts like a switch when hit with a small amount of electricity

16. Resistor Restricts the flow of electricity

17. Diode Allows electricity to flow in only one direction

18. Capacitor Stores electrons for a sudden discharge
