    This document discusses electricity and atomic structure. It explains that electricity is a form of energy resulting from charged particles like electrons and protons. Atoms are made up of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Copper has approximately 1.4 x 1024 free electrons in every cubic inch at room temperature due to electrons gaining enough energy to leave copper atoms. Electrical charge is due to an excess or deficiency of electrons, creating a net negative or positive charge. Static electricity and lightning occur due to the separation and attraction of positive and negative charges.

    ELECTRICITY

    - A form of energy resulting from the


    existence of charged particles (such as electrons
    or protons), either statically as an accumulation
    of charge or dynamically as a current.

    ATOMIC STRUCTURE
    An atom is the smallest
    particle of an element that
    retains the characteristics of
    that element. All matter is
    made of atoms; and all
    atoms consist of electrons,
    protons, and neutrons. A
    basic understanding of the
    fundamental concepts of
    current and voltage
    requires a degree of
    familiarity with the atom
    and its structure.
    The Bohr model of an atom
    The orbiting electron carries a negative charge equal
    in magnitude to the positive charge of the proton. In
    general, the atomic structure of any stable atom has an
    equal number of electrons and protons.
    Copper is the most commonly used metal in the
    electrical/electronics industry.
    If this 29th electron gains sufficient
    energy from the surrounding medium
    to leave the parent atom, it is called a
    free electron. In 1 cubic inch of copper
    at room temperature, there are
    approximately 1.4 x1024 free electrons.
    Expanded, that is
    1,400,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
    free electrons in a 1 in. square cube.
    ELECTRIC CHARGE

    As you know, an electron is the smallest particle


    that exhibits negative electrical charge. The charge of
    an electron and that of a proton are equal in
    magnitude. Electrical charge is an electrical property
    of matter that exists because of an excess or deficiency
    of electrons. When an excess of electrons exists in a
    material, there is a net negative electrical charge.
    When a deficiency of electrons exists, there is a net
    positive electrical charge. Charge is symbolized by the
    letter Q. Static electricity is the presence of a net
    positive or negative charge in a material.
    STATIC ELECTRICITY

    When you rub a balloon on your pullover, you create static


    electricity that makes it stick. The rubbing shifts electrons
    from your pullover (which becomes positively charged) to the
    latex rubber in the balloon (which becomes negatively
    charged). The opposite charges make the two things stick.
    LIGHTNING

    Heavier, negatively charged particles sink to the


    bottom of the cloud. When the positive and negative
    charges grow large enough, a giant spark - lightning -
    occurs between the two charges within the cloud. This is
    like a static electricity sparks you see, but much bigger.
