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
