PHENOMENON OF ELECTRICITY

ELECTRICITY- A form of energy generated by friction, induction, or chemical Change, having magnetic,
chemical, and radiant effect. One of the most useful discovery of man which paved the way to the
numerous inventions from the simple tools to the most sophisticated gadgets making what originally
seemed to be impossible become a reality.

PRODUCING CURRENT FLOW- Electricity is the flow of current through a conductor. Current must be
forced to flow in a conductor by the presence of a charge.
SIX PRIMARY WAYS THAT CURRENT CAN FLOWS

1. Static electricity – is electricity from friction.

2. Thermoelectricity – is electricity from heat.

3. Piezoelectricity – is electricity from pressure.

4. Electrochemistry – is electricity from a chemical reaction.

5. Photo electricity – is electricity from light.

6. Magnetoelectricity – is electricity from magnetism
