1. Logo Electronics Electricity, Components And Circuits

2. Logo Electricity What is it?

3. Logo The Atom Electrons Protons Neutrons

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

6. Logo 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.
