Introduction to
electricity
Energy foundation
• Everything is made of atoms
• Atoms are made of smaler
particules (nucleus and
electrons)
• Nucleus is made of
(protons and neutrons)
Static electricity is an
imbalance of electric
charges within or on the surface
of a material. The charge
remains until it is able to move
away by means of an electric
current or electrical discharge.
Insulator/Conductor
•An insulator is a material of such low
conductivity that the flow of electric
current through it is negligible.
•A conductor is a material having a high
conductivity and in which electric
current flow easily.
