Electrical Energy by Arun GRIFFITHS https://padlet.com/griff60036/zwrcga3emez4 by Arun Griffiths en-us 2016-11-08 05:19:43 UTC 2025-10-08 21:42:11 UTC hello@padlet.com Electric energy is the energy created by electrons moving through an electrical conductor. The world is made of matter. All matter contains atoms that contain electrons that are always moving. When electrons are forced down a conductive path, such as a wire, the movement produces electricity, or electric energy. griff60036 https://padlet.com/griff60036/zwrcga3emez4/wish/135997847 2016-11-08 05:24:37 UTC https://padlet.com/griff60036/zwrcga3emez4/wish/135997847 Electrical energy can be used to move charged particles through a wire from a power plant to our homes and businesses. The movement of a charged particle through a wire is called current, or more commonly, electricity. griff60036 https://padlet.com/griff60036/zwrcga3emez4/wish/135997940 2016-11-08 05:25:57 UTC https://padlet.com/griff60036/zwrcga3emez4/wish/135997940 Electrical energy can be used to move charged particles through a wire from a power plant to our homes and businesses. The movement of a charged particle through a wire is called current, or more commonly, electricity. Electricity is used to work various appliances in our homes. griff60036 https://padlet.com/griff60036/zwrcga3emez4/wish/135998035 2016-11-08 05:27:43 UTC https://padlet.com/griff60036/zwrcga3emez4/wish/135998035 Lightning during a thunderstorm is an example of electrical energy. It is the visible discharge of atmospheric electricity. As lightning heats the air, it creates a shock wave that causes the sound of thunder. griff60036 https://padlet.com/griff60036/zwrcga3emez4/wish/135998344 2016-11-08 05:32:59 UTC https://padlet.com/griff60036/zwrcga3emez4/wish/135998344 Magnets have two poles called "north" and "south." griff60036 https://padlet.com/griff60036/zwrcga3emez4/wish/135998568 2016-11-08 05:37:38 UTC https://padlet.com/griff60036/zwrcga3emez4/wish/135998568 Opposite poles attract each other, while similar poles repel each other. griff60036 https://padlet.com/griff60036/zwrcga3emez4/wish/135998594 2016-11-08 05:37:59 UTC https://padlet.com/griff60036/zwrcga3emez4/wish/135998594 The earth itself is a giant magnet. griff60036 https://padlet.com/griff60036/zwrcga3emez4/wish/135998611 2016-11-08 05:38:13 UTC https://padlet.com/griff60036/zwrcga3emez4/wish/135998611 Static electricity is the result of tiny, sub-atomic particles called electrons being pulled from one surface to another. griff60036 https://padlet.com/griff60036/zwrcga3emez4/wish/135998637 2016-11-08 05:38:35 UTC https://padlet.com/griff60036/zwrcga3emez4/wish/135998637 Lightning is a larger version of the same effect, as masses of air rub against rainclouds. griff60036 https://padlet.com/griff60036/zwrcga3emez4/wish/135998653 2016-11-08 05:38:59 UTC https://padlet.com/griff60036/zwrcga3emez4/wish/135998653 An animation appears of a rural landscape. There is a flash of lightning and a crash of thunder. griff60036 https://padlet.com/griff60036/zwrcga3emez4/wish/135998661 2016-11-08 05:39:15 UTC https://padlet.com/griff60036/zwrcga3emez4/wish/135998661 Static electricity is the result of tiny, sub-atomic particles called electrons being pulled from one surface to another. griff60036 https://padlet.com/griff60036/zwrcga3emez4/wish/135998802 2016-11-08 05:43:19 UTC https://padlet.com/griff60036/zwrcga3emez4/wish/135998802
