brief introduction to electricity

1. Sparky’s Light Kit

2. What does Sparky need in order to light?
path
resistor
Voltage source
Complete circuit
And what do you need in order to
have a complete circuit???

3. Note Time!

4. Current Electricity
• The flow of electrons through a conductive
material

5. Circuit
• A complete path in which electrons flow

6. Volt
• A measure of the push of electrons

7. Conductor
• A material in which electrons move freely.

8. Insulator
• A material in which electrons do not move
freely

9. Current Electricity – The flow of electrons through a conductive material
Circuit – a complete path through which electrons can flow
Volt – measure of the push of electrons
Conductor – material in which electrons can move feely
Insulator – material in which electrons can not move freely
