No Wires World
JackElec a place with no wires to light up things or make things even work, energy just moves around freely anywhere basically. A cool thing that we can do is that we would have so much electricity that we wont be needing switches to charge our phones, or home appliances(fridges microwaves e.t.c). Imagine that! A place where your phone would be charged at 100% what a relief no more worrying if you need to charge it over night or anything its just charged. JackElec would be a much easier place to live in since we wont have to deal with those pesky wires and those annoying plugs and stuff. A horrible thing that would happen is that our hair would be going EVERYWHERE we would always be having crazy hair. Our hair would always be a mess we will always be checking in the mirror to see if our hair is o.k. Also we would always be shocking everything we touch because of the static energy in our hands.

Electricity So Far
Electricity So Far
Electricity is forms of energy resulting from the existence of charged particles such as electrons or protons.
So far I learned that their is many ways on generating electricity also I learned that electricity is a form of energy resulting from a current.
Electricity is easy because I am very clear about electrons and protons.
I'm still confused about the the types of Electrostatic charge which just are Polarization.
I'm getting better at understanding the vocabulary words and what they do/mean.
I have a question about the methods of charging by using Polarization, what does Polarization do? and why is it a method of charging?

Electricity Vocabulary
Electricity Vocabulary
What I know about electricity so far is that an electron is the only part of the atom that can be moved around. If an atom has more electrons than protons, then the atom has a negative net charge. But if the atom has more protons than the electrons, then the atom has a positive net charge. Opposite charges will always attract, but when two items are the same (both negative OR positive charges) they will repel. A conductor will allow all the electrons to flow freely. But on the other hand Insulators do now allow electrons to flow freely this means that the electrons will just sit their. One last thing I know about electricity is Static Electricity this allows an item to build up extra electrons and then lets out a quick discharge shock typically it's produced by friction and that's what causes the sparks, crackling, or the attraction of dust/hair

Today in class we played with a generator, what I saw was that it caused electricity. When we tested out with a ball the ball kept touching the generator and moving away from the generator. Then we tested it out with aluminum plates, we made the aluminum plates just sit at the top at the generator and once we plugged the generator back in the aluminum plates went flying everywhere. We also tested out the a glow stick that wasn't glowing and with the generator the glow stick was glowing again.
The science that was behind all this "magic" was that the ball was attracting and repelling to the generator. The type of electricity is actually called static electricity. The generator gave electrons to the aluminum plates, the aluminum plates had enough electrons which then the aluminium plates repelled from the generator and that's what causes the aluminum plated to go flying. The generator gave enough electrons to the glow stick because the glow stick was a conductor which it made the electrons to flow easily though the glow stick which made it glow.
What I would like to see be tested on the generator is a coin (a type of copper) because probably the coin will repel from the generator then attract from it just like what the ball did.

Insulators And Conductors
Insulators And Conductors
An Insulator that I have came in contact was with a window. Inside that window had glass which all the electrons just sat their and had no harm to me. But on the other had I have experienced wires. Wires is an example of Conductors because inside that wire it has copper and inside the copper the electrons move/flow freely. Insulators do not allow electrons to flow which means all of the electrons just stand their and they don't move. The Conductors electrons they move everywhere. The more distance they have the more they get to flow around
