Electricty is the flow of electrons. Electrons spin in an orbit around the center core of an atom whereas the center core is comprised of protons (positive charge) and neutrons (neutral charge). Electrons have a negative charge and balance out the positive charge of the protonsand. When an outside force causes the number of electrons to unbalance the charge of the protons, the electrons will split off the atom and look for another atom to balance out. Electrons will continue to move and an electrical flow will exist if the imbalance is kept up. The flow of electricty can be measured in the use of amperes.
Some materials also have more resistance than others. For example, those that have high resistance are said to be insulators. (rubber). Very low resistant materials are said to be conductors (copper). Based on the observations made in the module, there are numerous of things I can use from the module in real life.Whether is for home applications or for personal applications such as powering your car or alarm system.
