- You are walking on a carpet and gain a positive charge. When you touch a neutral doorknob, the electrons do not flow and you feel no shock.
- Lighting hit building and homes because they are the closest point to thunder clouds.
- The path on which current flow is called circuit.
- The property of material due to which it attracts or repels other objects is charge.
- The electric charge between two bodies can be produced by rubbing.
- The charges produced on objects by rubbing them together or by pressing and pulling them apart, are called static charge.
- The phenomenon of producing static charges on objects is called static electricity.
- The electric current which flows in one direction only, is called Direct Current (DC).
- The electric current that regularly changes its direction, is called Alternative Current (AC).
- The opposition offered by a conductor to the flow of electric current is called Resistance.
