Q: What is electricity?
A: Electricity is a form of energy resulting from the flow of charged particles, especially electrons.
Q: How does electricity flow?
A: Electricity flows through conductors, such as wires, and can be controlled with the use of devices such as switches and circuit breakers.
Q: What is alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC)?
A: AC is a type of electrical current that alternates direction, while DC is a type of electrical current that flows in one direction.
Q: How is electricity generated?
A: Electricity can be generated through various methods, including the burning of fossil fuels, nuclear reactions, hydro power, wind power, and solar power.
Q: What are volts, amps, and watts?
A: Volts (V) measure electrical potential, amps (A) measure the flow of electrical current, and watts (W) measure the rate of energy transfer.
Q: What is a circuit?
A: A circuit is a closed loop of conductors through which electrical current flows.
Q: What is a short circuit?
A: A short circuit occurs when electrical current flows through an unintended path, bypassing the intended circuit.
Q: What is resistance in an electrical circuit?
A: Resistance is the measure of the opposition to electrical current flow in a circuit.
Q: What is an electrical grounding system?
A:
An electrical grounding system provides a low-resistance path for electrical current to safely flow to the ground in case of a fault or electrical surge.
