Task
1. What is electricity?
-Electricity is the flow of tiny particles called electrons and protons. It can also mean the energy you get when electrons flow from place to place.
2. What is electric current?
-Many moving electrons are called an electric current
3. Who was first to study electric forces?
-The ancient Greeks were the first to study electric forces and static electricity
4. Who discovered electricity?
-Some give credit to Benjamin Franklin for discovering electricity, but his experiments only helped establish the connection between lightning and electricity
5. How does electricity move in a circuit?
- A current of electricity is a steady flow of electrons. When electrons move from one place to another, round a circuit, they carry electrical energy from place to place. Materials such as copper metal that conduct electricity (allow it to flow freely) are called conductors. Electricity can travel through something when its structure allows electrons to move through it easily. These electrons flow freely throughout the structure of copper and this is what enables an electric current to flow.
