What is an insulator?
A
a material that does not conduct electricity
B
a material that conducts electricity
C
a clamp to connect two electric wires
D
a electric source

Slide 9 - Quiz

What is electricity?
Electricity is caused by the flow of electrons moving through a conducting material
- Those electrons go from the power source to the device
- In the appliance they leave their energy behind
- They go back to the power source to be charged.

Slide 15 - Quiz

Current 
How many electrons flow past every second.
 
Measured in Amps (A) 
with an am-meter

Slide 16 - Diapositive

Voltage 
How much electrical energy each electron is carrying. 
 
Measured in Volts (V) 
with a voltmeter

Slide 17 - Diapositive

How much voltage is in an electric socket at your home?

Slide 18 - Carte mentale

Voltage 
The mains socket has a voltage of 230V 
This can be dangerous and even deadly

24V is the safe limit  

Transformers raise/lower voltage
