How electricity flows through wire.

Hello people!!! glad too see you all. We know that electricity is a wonderful thing that power our homes in dark and make bright at night. It's important to know how electricity work around us and it's our responsibility. Now the question is how electricity flows through a conductor like copper or aluminum. Want to know about!!!! let look at it.

A conductor is made of less resistivity material like copper or aluminum and allows current flows into to power up electrical device. In order to know how the current flows into the conductor, you need to know about structure of ATOM!!!! Back to school dummies, we going to learn lesson something old that you already know!!!

In structure of atom consists proton,neutron and electron.Which is proton is positive,neutron is neutral and electron is negative. 
When the current pass through a conductor the electron will flows. That what will called 'Current' A force which make the electron move is called voltage. If a conductor has resistance, it will prevent electron flowing. If more voltage is added, the conductor will heat. Be careful when you wires, it make give a shock or make you pass out. 
Now we know how electrons move in conductor,so we know in electricity has two type of electrical current. Alternating current and Direct current. If you don't about this, go back to school or read entire my blog :P !!!!
In alternating current, electron move backward and forward. Did you remember the sine wave of AC. That's why the sine wave have positive amplitude and negative amplitude. Your home use  AC power. You want to feel how AC is? Touch a conductor with alternating current and you will get shock. Don't hold too long!!
  

In direct current, you don't have to worry about getting shock,because DC is safe if the current carries lots of electrons. It flows in one direction. That's all for DC dummies!! you no need to worry about.

 

ELECTRIFYING FACT OF THE DAY : 
THE SPEED OF ELECTRICITY IS 2.8×108 M/S NEARLY AS SPEED OF LIGHT.
