ELECTRICITY

Energy resulting from the existence of charged particles. “Static or Current” (Flow of electronics)

PROTONS
Positive electrical charge
NEUTRONS
No electrical charge
ELECTRONS
Negative Electrical Charge
AC
Alternating current (used for long distances) Flows in 2 directions, used for distribution.
DC
Direct Current (used for short distances), Flows in ONE direction. Used in electronics (think batteries).
NIKOLA TESLA
Supported Alternating Current (Created Tesla Coil and Induction Motor) “Human Conductor”
THOMAS EDISON
Supported Direct Current, also tried to scare people from AC. 
WHEN DID AC BEAT DC?
When the Niagra Fall Plant successfully opened in 1896.

NAME THE ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES?

Power = WATTS (unit of measure for power)

Current = AMPS (measure for current)

Electromotive Force = VOLTS (how much potential energy you have)

RESISTANCE = Ohms in DC
