we discuss what is electricity and the type of electricity and give some interview questions & answers.



What is electricity
Electricity is a short of energy that minces the flow of electron free from easily through the conductor is known as electricity. All matter is an atom and the center of an atom is called a nucleus. The nucleus can contain electron, proton, and neutrons. Such as the electron is negative charge particles, a proton is positive charge particles, and Neutrons is an uncharged particle. The nucleus of an atom is surrounded by negatively charged particles ic know as an electron.
                         OR
Electricity is a form of electrons.

                         OR

Electricity is a form of energy.

                         OR

Electricity is the flow of electrical charge particles such as electron or proton.
                         OR

Electricity is a form of energy.

                         OR

Electricity is the flow of electrons.

                         OR
What is electricity

Electricity is the flow of electricity charged Particles (such as electrons or protons)Electricity is the flow off electrical power or charge. It is a secondary energy source which means that we get It fro the conversion of other sources Of energy, like coal, natural gas. Oilnuclear Power and another natural source. Which is called the primary source of the energy source we use to make electricity.

What is the type of electricity?

There are two types of electricity.

1-static Electricity

2-dynamic Electricity

Static electricity

It is made by rubbing together tow more objects and making friction while current
is the flow of electric charge around an electric field.

Static Electricity EX=- Rub a balloon on wool and hold it up to the well.

Dynamic Electricity 

EX- Generator, Powerplant, Battery, and many chemical Reactions.

What is AC?

In Alternating current the magnitude and direction changes with respect to time.


What is  DC?

The magnitude and value and direction do not change with respect to time.

What is voltage?

The potential difference between two points is to know as voltage/pressure.

Unit of voltage - volt

Symbol of voltage-v


What is current?


The flow of electron in a closed path is called current.

                                              OR
What is electricity



The flow of electric current in one direction in a conductor is known as current.

Unit of current - Ampere.








What is the transformer?




What is electricity



The transformer is an electrical static device (why static – Because

 no Rotating part). It used for voltage increase (step-up ) or voltage

 decries (step down) between circuit .transformer works Faraday’s 

Low of Electromagnetic Induction.
