The Basic Relationship Between Subatomic Particles, Electricity and Circuit
As all of us know, everything occurred in this
world related to science. There are three main subjects in science which is
Chemistry, Physics and Biology. Hence, in analyzing the phenomenon involved in
circuits, we will find that this phenomenon related to Chemistry and Physics.
How is it related? Let’s take a deep
breath and think about it wisely.
An atom has a nucleus. As all of us know,
nucleus consists of proton (which is positive charge) and neutron (which is
neutral). The small charge particle, electron exists out of the nucleus, and
attached to the shell. The Chemistry and Physics related when a complete
circuit (circuit that connect successfully) , there is electricity, and
electricity comes from resulting energy of the charged particles existence ( such as
electron and proton) either statically or accumulation.
The common phenomenon of electricity is lightning
strike. Electrically charge will explode a flux. Hence, we need to find a way
to safely contain and control this flow of charge particle as we need to use
the electricity in a circuit. A battery can take over the role above. In
circuit, the battery is important to provide the voltage and current. Battery
is a device that converts from chemical energy to electrical energy. Battery
has two terminal which is plus(+) and
minus(-), which refers to positive and negative charge of proton and electron.
Electron will move out from the negative terminal of the battery and attracted
by the positive terminal of the battery. Electron move from negative terminal
to positive terminal with right kind of material connected to the battery.
Here is an example of a low voltage battery
(1.5V) being to create some light. Connecting a light bulb to this battery, we
have created SIMPLE CIRCUIT, a PATH for ELECTRON to TRAVEL. A light bulb does
two things, it introduces some of the resistance into the circuit, reducing the
flow of electrons, so that the metal wire won’t get hot and it converts
electrical energy to light energy.
Now, I would like to post a video related to this basic relationship. :)
