BASIC ELECTRICITY


Basic electricity is described in many ways. When an electric circuit flows through a conductor, a magnetic field (or "flux") develops around the conductor. The highest flux density occurs when the conductor is formed into a coil having many turns. In electronics and basic electricity, a coil is usually known as an inductor. If a steady DC current is run through the coil, you would have an electromagnet - a device with the properties of a conventional magnet, except you can turn it on or off by placing a switch in the circuit.

Electrical Current
Current is a flow of charge. Each electron carries a charge of 1.6 × 10-19 coulombs. This is far too small to be any use, so we consider electricity to flow in packets called coulombs. When there is a flow of 1 coulomb per second, a current of 1 amp is flowing. Current is measured in ampères, or amps (A).

CIRCUITS

Materials:
1. solid wire
2. flat nose plier
3. small bulb
4. board
5. switch
6. small recieptacle
7. battery pack
8. star volt
9. driller
10. electrical tape
11. battery

Procedure:
1. Gather all the materials needed.
2. Make a small hole on the board for bulb to put in.
3. from the possitive side of the switch, connect it to the possitive side of the battery pack.
4. from the battery pack, conncet it to the possitive side of the bulb.
5. the same as trough for the negative side.
6. attach it to the board by the use of star volt.
7. put the battery on the battery pack
8. switch on. MY BEST CHOICE: This is my best choice, because it can help people to be more aware on how the electricty flow in one circuit.

My best choice: this is my best choice in order to have more knowledge about making cake.
