Electricity

What is the particle that moves in a wire?

The particle that moves in a wire is electrons. Electrons move from the negative end to the positive end of a wire. Batteries are an example of a way to generate electric current. 


If there is a high current in a circuit what does this mean?

A high current in a circuit is like a high current in a river. High current in a circuit means the energy is flowing fast.  The high energy is because there is lots of electrons moving faster.


How does electricity work to heat up a stove?

The electricity / energy gets stored and travels through wires into your home . The wires that connect into your house give you power.  The electrical gets transformed into heat energy and that is how it is formed into heat. 


Where is DC electricity used?

Direct Current electricity is from battery.  eg used in aircraft's and batteries. 


Where is AC electricity used ?

Alternating current electricity is used to operate plugs in industrial and commercial use.  eg plugs and lights. 


Difference between current and static electricity summary.

The difference between current and static electricity is... 

-Current electricity passes around in a circuit. 

-Static electricity builds up until there is enough of them to pass on . This is  only way static electricity can move. 


(in order to make a circuit work you need a conductor/ a source of energy. )

(an energy circuit doesn't work unless it is in a continuous flow. )
