|
|
A battery creates a difference in charge and makes electrons flow, which produces electric current.

|
Why does the toaster get hot but not the cable? empezar lección
|
|
The toaster has high resistance, which converts electrical energy into heat. The cable has low resistance, so it does not heat up.

|
Why does a balloon stick to the wall? empezar lección
|
|
When rubbed, the balloon gains electrons and becomes negatively charged. It attracts positive charges in the wall, so it sticks.

|
What is voltage (spänning)? empezar lección
|
|
Voltage is the difference in charge between two points that causes current to flow.
|
|
|
What is resistance (resistans)? empezar lección
|
|
Resistance is the opposition to the flow of electric current.
|
|
|
What is current (strömstyrka)? empezar lección
|
|
Current is the amount of electric charge flowing through a circuit over time.

🔗 What is a series koppling(serie koppling)? empezar lección
|
|
A series koppling is when components are connected in a single path. If one part breaks, the whole circuit stops working.
|
|
|
🔀 What is a parallel koppling (parallel koppling)? empezar lección
|
|
A parallel kopling has multiple paths for current. If one part breaks, the others still work.

💡 How to connect 3 batteries for the strongest light? empezar lección
|
|
Connect them in series (positive to negative) to increase voltage and make the light brighter.

⚛️ Which part of the atom is negative? empezar lección
|
|
The electron is negatively charged.

|
|
What happens during lightning? empezar lección
|
|
Charges build up in clouds, and when the difference becomes large, a sudden electrical discharge occurs — lightning.
|
|
|
What are conductors (ledare)? empezar lección
|
|
Conductors are materials that allow electricity to flow easily because electrons can move freely
|
|
|
What are insulators (isolatorer)? empezar lección
|
|
Isulators are materials that do not allow electricity to flow because electrons cannot move freely.
