• Electricity is the movement of free electrons in a material toward an area of positive (+) charges.
• The conduction of those electrons is determined by the type of material. Some conduct well, while other materials prevent the movement of electrons.
• Electricity can take the form of static electricity, direct current (DC) electricity, or alternating current (AC) electricity.

• What are free electrons?
• What determines the conduction of electricity?
• What are the different types of electricity?

• All matter is made up of atoms
• The basic atom consists of a nucleus surrounded by electrons going round the nucleus in orbit
Lithium atom
Proton charge= 1.602 x 10 -19 Coulomb
Elec. charge= -1.602 x 10 -19 Coulomb
• The nucleus consists of:
– Protons which are positively charged
– Neutrons that have no charge.
• The electrons have a negative (-) electrical charge

• Most electrons are bound in orbit around atoms.
• But in many substances, there are electrons that are not connected to any atom and are roaming freely throughout the material.
• These electrons may have been knocked free in the creation of ions or may be the result of a collision of a high energy particle, such as from radioactive materials or cosmic rays.

• Atoms with an excess of electrons are called negative ions and those that are missing electrons in the shells or orbits are called positive ions.
• An electric force field causes particles with opposite charges to attract each other.
• A buildup of opposite charges creates an electric potential.
• Release of the potential energy results in the movement of free electrons, which is called electricity.

• Valence electrons are the electrons contained in the outermost, or valence, electron shell of an atom.
• Important in determining how an element reacts chemically with other elements.
• The fewer valence electrons an atom holds, the less stable it becomes and the more likely it is to react.
Proton charge= 1.602 x 10 -19 Coulomb
Elec. charge= -1.602 x 10 -19 Coulomb

• Conductors are materials that permit electrons to flow freely from atom to atom and molecule to molecule.
• An object made of a conducting material will permit charge to be transferred across the entire surface of the object
• This relative mobility of electrons within a material is known as electric conductivity.

• Solid metals are good conductors of electricity, because electrons are allowed to move freely throughout the material.
• Copper and gold are some of the best conductors of electricity.
• Although iron is a good conductor, iron oxide
(rust) is not.
• In the solid state, the atoms of metals are held in place and only vibrate. This allows free electrons to roam about the material.

Semiconductors
• Has electrical conductivity intermediate to that of a conductor and an insulator
• This behavior is useful in in designing computer chips—the electrons have limitations to their movement, such as only being allow to move in one direction or in one plane.
Nonconductors/insulators
• Prevent the movement of electrons within the material. But they often do allow electrons and ions to collect on their surfaces.
• Examples of nonconductors or electrical insulators are: Plastic,
Rubber, Glass, Most metal oxides (like rust), Air, Oil, Pure, deionized water
• Gases are not good conductors of electricity because of the distances between atoms .

• Common types of electricity are:
– static electricity,
– direct current (DC) electricity
– alternating current (AC) electricity.

• Static electricity refers to the built up electric charge on the surface of objects or excess of electric charge
(imbalance) trapped on the surface of an object.
• Charge exchange can happen when any two surfaces come into contact or rubbed.
• When the materials are separated they retain this charge imbalance.
• Since opposite charges attract, there is a tendency for the electrons to attract toward the positive ions.

• Electrons will flow from an area of an excess negative (-) charges to an area of positive (+) charges.
• Alternating current (AC) is when the electrons flow in both directions — AC terminals constantly switch their polarity from (+) to (-) and back again.
• An AC voltage is continually changing between positive (+) and negative (-).
• Electrical power grids that provide electricity to homes and other buildings use AC.

• In direct current (DC, also dc), the flow of electric charge is only in one direction. It may increases or decreases.
• Sources of DC voltage are include cells, batteries and regulated power supply.
• A DC voltage is always positive (or always negative).

• The unit of charge is the Coulomb (C).
• The coulomb is defined as the quantity of electricity which flows past a given point in an electric circuit when a current of one ampere is maintained for one second.
• Charge, in coulombs: Q=It
–

• One newton is one kilogram meter per second squared ( kg·m·s -2 )
• Force, in newton: F=ma
– m is the mass in kg
– a is the acceleration in ms -2

• The unit of work or energy is the joule (J)
• Joule is defined as the work done or energy transferred when a force of one newton is exerted through a distance of one meter.
• The work done, in joules: W=Fs
– F is the force in newtons
– s is the distance in meter

• Electric current is the rate of charge flow past a given point in an electric circuit , measured in coulombs/second which is named amperes.
• In most DC electric circuits, it can be assumed that the resistance to current flow is a constant so that the current in the circuit is related to voltage and resistance by Ohm's law.

• The unit of electric potential is the volt (V)
• The potential difference indicates the flow of electric current (from high to low)
• The potential difference is also called voltage.
Analogy

The units of the potential difference is given by
Volts = watts/amperes
= joules/amperes·second
= joules/coulombs
• A device that maintains potential difference between two points is said to develop and electromotive force
(e.m.f.).

• The unit of power is watt (W)
• One watt is one joule per second
• Power, in watts : P=W / t
–
W is the work done
– t is the time in second
• DC electrical power, in watts: P=VI
– V is the voltage across the load
– I is the current flows through the load
• Energy, in joules, W=Pt

• The unit of electric resistance is the ohm (Ω)
• It is defined as the property of a substance due to which it opposes the flow of electricity (or electrons) through it.
• Resistivity, in ohms·meter (Ω·m) : ρ=
AR / l
–
A is the cross section of the conductor
–
L is the length of the conductor
• Note that the resistance is dependent on the nature of the material and also the temperature.

• R = 0 Ω – short circuit (large current flow)
• R = ∞ Ω – open circuit (no current flow)
Open circuit Short circuit
• The reciprocal of resistance is called conductance and is measured in siemens (S).
• Conductance, in siemens: G=1/R

• Ohm's Law states that in a simple electrical circuit, the voltage equals the electrical current times the resistance.
V = IR where:
V is the voltage in volts
I is the current in amperes or amps
R is the resistance in ohms
IR is I times R

• The electric power in watts represents the rate at which energy is converted from the electrical energy of the moving charges to some other form, e.g., heat, mechanical energy, or energy stored in electric fields or magnetic fields.
• For a resistor in a DC circuit, the power is given by the product of applied voltage and the electric current :
P = VI
Power (watts) = Voltage (volts) x Current (amperes)

• Although the unit of energy is the joule
( W=Pt) , when dealing with large amounts of energy, the unit used is the kilowatt hour
(kWh) where:
1kWh = 1000 watt hour
= 1000 X 3600 wat seconds (or joules)
= 3 600 000 J
Electricity Bill = Electricity (kWh) x tariff rates (sen/kWh)

Computer : 500 watts (12 hours usage)
TV : 400 watts (5 hours usage)
Lighting : 3 units x 15 watt = 45 watts (6 hours usage)
Others : 100 watts (2 hours usage)
Power consumed :
(500 x 12) + (400 x 5) + (45 x 6) + (100 x 2) = 8470 wh = 8.47kWh
Electricity bill per month :
8.47 kWh x RM 0.218/kWh x 30 = RM 55.50
