electric current and electrical energy
Electrical current instead of water molecules moving down a river, we have charged particles move down a conductor.

Electric Current: is the flow of charged particles through a conducting medium, such as a wire.

Electric Current: How it works?
electric current and electrical energy
Atoms in a conducting material have lots of free electrons that float around from atom to atom and everywhere in between.

Electric Current: How it works?
electric current and electrical energy
Atoms in a conducting material have lots of free electrons that float around from atom to atom and everywhere in between.
The motion of these electrons is random, so there is no flow in any given direction.

Electric Current: How it works?
electric current and electrical energy
When we apply a voltage to the
conductor, all free electrons move in the
same direction, creating a
current !!!!!!

Electric Current: A curious thing….
electric current and electrical energy
While the electrical energy transfers at nearly the speed of light, the electrons
need 1 hour to move 1 meter!!!

Electric Current: Two typesDirect Current (DC): electrons move in one
direction
electric current and electrical energy
Batteries create a direct current because the electrons always flow from the 'negative' side to the 'positive' side.

Electric Current: Two typesDirect Current (DC): electrons move in one
directionAlternating Current (AC): pushes the electrons
back and forth, changing the direction of the flow several times per second.

You've probably never noticed the
lights in your house actually flicker as
the current changes direction
because it happens too fast for our
eyes to detect!!!

Parts of the cell: It contains two compartments, each with an electrode submerged in an electrolyte.
• Electrode: a conductor that connects to a nonmetallic part of a circuit (electrolyte). One positive (cathode) and one negative (anode).
• Electrolyte: fluid that conducts electricity.
