Electicty

Pregunta	Respuesta
Electricity Key words: Charge: a property of matter. It is either positive or negative. Electrons all have a negative charge. Electron: s negatively charged particle.	Coulombs: the unit for charge flow. 1C = 6.2X10 electrons Current: a flow of charge around a circuit. It is measured in amperes also called amps. charge flow is the amount of current per second

The resistance can be changed.

It's the little bit of 'word done' by each coulomb of charge that goes through it.
Imagine that an electron can be either full of energy, or have no energy. When they have lots of energy they can give lots of energy they can give the energy to a component. When they have no energy they can't.
