WHAT IS ELECTRICITY??
Sources of Electricity.
1. Power Station
It helps in development of alternate
current and its transmission using
transformer to transmit power at
high voltage and with low loss.
2. Electric cell(Batteries)
Device consisting of one or more
electrochemical cells that convert
stored chemical energy into
electrical energy.

Electric Charges
Electric charges are
made up of positive
charges (protons) and
negative charges
(electrons).
When these charges flow
in a circuit, a current is
produced.

SWITCHES
A switch is used to open or close
a circuit.
Main switches are being used in
building to break the circuit.
Open circuit do not light the bulb
when switch is open.
ELECTRIC CIRCUITS
Series Circuit
Parallel circuit
VOLTAGE
An electric cell gives energy to the electrons and pushes them round a circuit. Voltage
is a measure of how much energy the electros receive.
Different voltages are supplied by different cells and batteries.
