# What is electricity
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Electricity is the flow of electric charge.
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
# Atoms
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Atoms are build up of Protons, Neutrons and Electron.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Electrons can escape the atom and bind to a new Atom.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Copper is used in wires because it has 29 Electrons, with one in the outer (Valence) Shell. This Atom can easily escape and switch places.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Normally an atom has the same amount of protons and electrons, when this is not the case the atoms has a charge.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Voltage
|
||
|
|
is like the pressure in Cable, it forces the Electrons to move.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Current
|
||
|
|
A cable with a lot of electrons flowing through it has a high current.
|
||
|
|
A cable can only handle a specific type of current.
|
||
|
|
When the current is to high, the cable breaks
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Circuit
|
||
|
|
A electric circuit is a closed loop through which electrons flow.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Normally in a copper wire the atoms randomly exchange electrons.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When there is a force applied to some side, the electrons move in a specific way
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Voltage is how much these electrons want to move
|
||
|
|
## Resistance is how hard it is for them to move
|
||
|
|
## Current is how many electrons are moving in a specified time
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Ohms Law
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Voltage = Current * Resistance
|
||
|
|
Resistance = Voltage / Current
|
||
|
|
Current = Voltage / Resistance
