    Electricity is a form of energy that results from the existence and motion of charged particles like electrons. There are two main types: static electricity, which builds up on surfaces, and current electricity, which deals with charges in motion. Basic electrical quantities include voltage (electrical pressure), current (flow of electrons), and resistance (opposition to current flow). Ohm's law states the relationship between current, voltage, and resistance in a circuit. Power is a measure of how quickly work can be done, and is equal to current multiplied by voltage.

    Electricity

    Electricity is an energy from that results from the existence of charged particles
    such as electrons or protons, either statically as an accumulation of change or dynamically
    as a current.

    Types of Electricity

     Static Electricity

    Static electricity is when electrical charges build up on the surface of a


    material. It usually caused by friction or rubbing materials together.

     Current Electricity

    Current electricity deals with electrical charges in motion.

    Basic Electrical Quantities

    Voltage

    Voltage is the electrical pressure or force also known as electromotive force (EMF) that
    pushes electrons. It is also known as potential difference. The unit use to measure the voltage is
    volts (V or E) named after Alessandro Volta. The instrument used to measure the voltage is
    voltmeter. Electromotive force is not truly a force; rather it is a measurement of joule of energy
    per coulomb of charge.

    Current

    Current is a measure of the amount of electrical charge transferred per unit time. It
    represents the flow of electrons through a conductive material. The SI unit of electrical current is
    the ampere (A), which is equal to a flow of one coulomb of charge per second. The ampere (A)
    unit is named after Andre-Marie Ampere (1775-1836), a French mathematician and physicist.

    Resistance

    Resistance is a property of a material that opposes or resists the flow of charges through
    it. The ohm (Ω) is the SI derived unit of electrical resistance, named after German physicist
    Georg Simon Ohm.
    Electric Circuit
    Electric circuit is a complete, unbroken path along which an electric current exists or is
    intended or able to flow.

    Resistors

    Resistors are one of the most basic building blocks in electronics. Resistor is an electric
    component that has a certain specified resistance to the current flow.

    OHM’S LAW
    Ohm’s Law states “the current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely
    proportional to its resistance”. To express Ohm’s law mathematically,

    I = V/R ; V = IR ; R = V/I

    Where: I – Current (A) R – Resistance (Ω) V – Voltage (V)

    Power

    Power is a measure of how much work can be performed in a given amount of time.
    Work is generally defined in terms of the lifting of a weight against the pull of gravity. The
    heavier the weight or the higher it is lifted, the more work has been done. Power is measure of
    how rapidly a standard amount of work is done.

    Power (P) is exactly equal to current (I) multiplied by voltage(V). when using this
    formula, the unit of measurement for power is the watt, abbreviated with the letter “W”.

    1HP = 746 Watts

    1 watt = 1 Joule/second
    P = V x I (watts or W)
