Basic Electricity
• Enumerate the different types of electricity (MELC- SSP_TLE-
CT9BE-Ia-1.1);
• Recognize the common electrical conductors and insulators and their
uses (MELC- SSP_TLE-CT9BE -Ia-1.4); and
• Identify the different materials and components used in electronics
(MELCSSP_TLE-CT9BE -Ic-3.1)
Atoms • Nucleus - small, dense region consisting of protons and
neutrons at the center of an atom, discovered in 1911 by Ernest
Rutherford
• Protons - a stable subatomic particle occurring in all atomic
nuclei, with a positive electric charge equal in magnitude to that
of an electron, but of opposite sign
• Neutrons - a subatomic particle of about the same mass as a
proton but without an electric charge, present in all atomic
nuclei except those of ordinary hydrogen.
• Electrons - a stable subatomic particle with a charge of
negative electricity, found in all atoms and acting as the primary
carrier of electricity in solids.
• Protons (+)
• Electrons (-)
electricity is the flow of electrical power or
charge
