He believed lightning was a form of flowing electricity.

    ELECTRICITY AND

    MAGNETISM
    KENYON ARAGGON D. USON
    ELECTRICITY
    • Electricity is the flow of electrons in the form of an
    electric charge.
    • Electricity is both a basic part of nature and one of the
    most widely used forms of energy.
    • Produced by vibrating or flowing charges.
    TYPES OF ELECTRICITY
    1. Static Electricity
    2. Current Electricity
    1.) STATIC ELECTRICITY
    Static electricity is when electrical charges build
    up on the surface of a material. It is usually
    caused by rubbing materials together. The result
    of a build-up of static electricity is that objects
    may be attracted to each other or may even cause
    a spark to jump from one to the other.
    FOR EXAMPLE RUB A BALLOON ON A WOOL
    AND HOLD IT UP TO THE WALL.
    Before rubbing, like all materials, the balloons and the wool
    sweater have a neutral charge. This is because they each have
    an equal number of positively charged subatomic particles
    (protons) and negatively charged subatomic particles
    (electrons). When you rub the balloon with the wool sweater,
    electrons are transferred from the wool to the rubber because
    of differences in the attraction of the two materials for
    electrons. The balloon becomes negatively charged because it
    gains electrons from the wool, and the wool becomes positively
    charged because it loses electrons.
    2.) CURRENT ELECTRICITY
    Current is the rate of flow of electrons. It is produced by moving
    electrons and it is measured in amperes. Unlike static electricity,
    current electricity must flow through a conductor, usually copper
    wire. Current with electricity is just like current when you think
    of a river. The river flows from one spot to another, and the speed
    it moves is the speed of the current. With electricity, current is a
    measure of the amount of energy transferred over a period of
    time. That energy is called a flow of electrons.
    THERE ARE DIFFERENT SOURCES OF
    CURRENT ELECTRICITY INCLUDING THE
    CHEMICAL REACTIONS TAKING PLACE IN A
    BATTERY.
    The direction of an electric current is by
    convention the direction in which a positive
    charge would move. Thus, the current in the
    external circuit is directed away from the positive
    terminal and toward the negative terminal of
    the battery. Electrons would actually move
    through the wires in the opposite direction.
    WHO DISCOVERED
    ELECTRICITY?
    Benjamin
    Franklin
    (1705-1790)
    BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
    • In the mid-1700s, he became interested in electricity.
    • Up until that time, scientists had mainly known about and
    experimented with static electricity. Benjamin Franklin took
    things a big step ahead. He came up with the idea that
    electricity had positive and negative elements and that
    electricity flowed between these elements. He also believed
    that lightning was a form of this flowing electricity.
    MAGNETISM
    • Magnetism is one aspect of the combined electromagnetic force.
    • It refers to physical phenomena arising from the force caused by magnets,
    objects that produce fields that attract or repel other objects.
