ELECTRICITY
Electricity is a form of energy. It is difficult to explain what it is but we can see what it does.
Look at the pictures below and list the equipment that uses electricity.

All the machines get their energy from electricity. This electricity is supplied to our homes
through wires which are attached to posts outside of our homes.
We cannot see the electricity when it gets into our homes. We know it is there because we
can see the things it can do.
Electricity is used mainly to produce heat, light and sound.
Electricity is a form of energy.
Electricity can also affect our bodies, in other words, it can cause shock. This means that
our muscles are affected and cannot move away from the source of electricity easily.

TWO TYPES OF ELECTRICITY
The electricity that is produced in our homes for all our machines to work is called current
electricity. Current electricity is produced by moving electrical charges. Current electricity
for our homes flows from the power station through wires. The path along which the
current flows is called a circuit.
Another form of electricity is by the contrast of positive and negative charges. Lightning
and thunder are caused by static electricity.

SIMPLE ELECTRIC CIRCUITS

Electricity is a form of energy. It flows in a path called a circuit. A circuit is where a

complete loop (circle) of electrical components are connected by wires, around which an
electric current can flow.

A simple circuit

The electricity is provided by a battery or generator. The electricity flows in the wires and is
used by light bulbs, radios, TVs, irons and other machines.

Electricity only flows in a complete circuit. Any hole or opening would prevent its flow.
Switches open and close gaps in a circuit.
