Year6 Electricity Topic

Electricity is the flow of electrons and is essential for powering everyday devices. An electric circuit consists of a power source, conductors, a load, and a switch, and can be configured in series or parallel arrangements. Safety precautions around electricity include avoiding wet hands when handling appliances and keeping liquids away from electrical devices.

Electricity: A Shocking Topic!

Understanding the Basics of


Electricity
What is Electricity?
• - Electricity is the flow of tiny particles called
electrons.
• - It is a form of energy that powers many
things in our daily lives.
What is an Electric Circuit?
• - An electric circuit is a complete path for
electricity to flow.
• - Key components:
• - Power Source: Provides energy (e.g.,
battery).
• - Conductors: Wires that carry electricity.
• - Load: A device that uses electricity (e.g., a
bulb).
• - Switch: Turns the circuit on or off.
Series and Parallel Circuits
• - Series Circuit:
• - Components are connected one after
another.
• - If one component stops working, the entire
circuit stops.
• - Parallel Circuit:
• - Components are connected across multiple
paths.
• - If one component stops working, others
continue.
Conductors and Insulators
• - Conductors: Materials that let electricity flow
easily (e.g., copper, aluminum).
• - Insulators: Materials that stop electricity
from flowing (e.g., rubber, plastic).
Staying Safe Around Electricity
• - Never touch electrical appliances with wet
hands.
• - Keep liquids away from electrical devices.
• - Do not insert objects into power sockets.
• - Always turn off devices when not in use.
Did You Know?
• - Lightning is a natural form of electricity.
• - Electric eels can generate electricity to
protect themselves.
• - The first power station was built in 1882 in
New York City.
