Electrons and Protons: All the materials we know, including solids, liquids and

gases, contain two basic particles of electric charge: the electron and the proton.

The electron is the smallest particle of electric charge having the characteristic called negative polarity.

The proton is the smallest particle of electric charge having the characteristic called positive polarity.


Charge of an electron or proton has invisible field of force

The invisible force can do the work of moving another charge

The arrangement of electrons and protons in a substance determines its electrical characteristics.

When the number of protons and electrons in a substance are equal, they cancel each other out, making the substance electrically neutral.


To use the electrical forces associated with the negative and positive charges in matter, the electrons and protons must be separated.

Changing the balance of forces produces evidence of electricity.

Electricity is a form of energy (i.e. it has the ability to do work)

Electricity in a battery is caused by basic particles of electric

charges with opposite polarities

1-2: Electrons and Protons in the 1-2: Electrons and Protons in the AtomAtom

An atom is the smallest particle of the basic elements

Electrons and protons in an atom assemble in specific combinations for a stable arrangement.

Each stable combination makes one particular kind of atom.


A hydrogen atom contains one proton in its nucleus. This is balanced by one orbiting electron. A hydrogen atom contains no neutrons in its nucleus.

Fig. 1-2: Electron and proton in the hydrogen (H) atom.



Electrons are distributed in orbital rings around the nucleus.

The distribution of electrons determines the atom’s electrical stability (outermost ring needs 8 for stability)

The electrons in the orbital ring farthest from the nucleus are especially important.

If electrons in the outermost ring escape from the atom they become free electrons.

Free electrons can move from one atom to the next and are the basis of electric current.


Fig. 1-3: Atomic structure showing the nucleus and its orbital rings of electrons. (a) Carbon (C) atom has 6 orbital electrons to balance 6 protons in the nucleus. (b) Copper (Cu) atom has 29 protons in the nucleus and 29 orbital electrons.



When electrons in the outermost ring of an atom can move easily from one atom to the next in a material, the material is called a conductor. Examples of conductors include:

silver copper aluminum


When electrons in the outermost ring of an atom do not move about easily, but instead stay in their orbits, the material is called an insulator. Examples of insulators include:

glass plastic rubber

An insulating material is also called a dielectric, meaning it can store electric charge


Semiconductors are materials that are neither good conductors nor good insulators. Examples of semiconductors include:

carbon silicon germanium

1-3: Structure of the Atom1-3: Structure of the Atom

Atomic Number The atomic number of an element is the number of

protons in the nucleus of the atom balanced by an equal number of orbiting electrons.

The number of electrons in orbit around the nucleus of a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus.


Orbital Rings Electrons are contained in successive rings beyond the

nucleus. The rings are called K, L, M, N, O, P, and Q, respectively.

Each ring has a maximum number of electrons for stability. They are:

K ring = 2 electrons.L ring = 8 electrons.M ring = 8 or 18 electrons.N ring = 8,18, or 32 electrons.

O ring = 8 or 18 electronsP ring = 8 or 18 electronsQ ring = 8 electrons


The maximum number of electrons in the outermost ring is always 8.

The electron valence of an atom is the number of electrons in an incomplete outermost shell. The valence indicates how easily the atom can gain or lose electrons.

An atom’s nucleus contains neutrons as well as protons.

Neutrons have no net electric charge.

1-4: The Coulomb Unit of Electric 1-4: The Coulomb Unit of Electric ChargeCharge

Rubbing a hard rubber pen on a sheet of paper produces static electric charge

Most common applications of electricity require the charge of billions of electrons or protons.

1 coulomb (C) is equal to the quantity (Q) of 6.25 × 1018

electrons or protons.

The symbol for electric charge is Q or q, for quantity.


Negative and Positive Polarities Charges of the same polarity tend to repel each other. Charges of opposite polarity tend to attract each other. Electrons tend to move toward protons because

electrons have a much smaller mass than protons. An electric charge can have either negative or positive

polarity. An object with more electrons than protons has a net negative charge (-Q) whereas an object with more protons than electrons has a net positive charge (+Q).

An object with an equal number of electrons and protons is considered electrically neutral (Q = 0C)

Charge of an Electron The charge of a single electron, or Qe, is 0.16 × 10−18 C.

It is expressed −Qe = 0.16 × 10−18 C

(−Qe indicates the charge is negative.)

The charge of a single proton, QP, is also equal to 0.16 × 10−18 C .

However, its polarity is positive instead of negative.

If 18.75 x1018 electrons are added to a neutral dielectric, how much charge is stored in coulombs?

-Q = 3C

1-5: The Volt Unit of Potential 1-5: The Volt Unit of Potential DifferenceDifference

Potential refers to the possibility of doing work. Any charge has the potential to do the work of moving

another charge, either by attraction or repulsion. Two unlike charges have a difference of potential. Potential difference is often abbreviated PD. The volt is the unit of potential difference. Potential difference is also called voltage.


Fig. 1-7: The amount of work required to move electrons between two charges depends on their difference of potential. This potential difference (PD) is equivalent for the examples in (a), (b), and (c).



The volt is a measure of the amount of work or energy needed to move an electric charge.

The metric unit of work or energy is the joule (J). One joule = 0.7376 ft·lbs.

The potential difference (or voltage) between two points equals 1 volt when 1 J of energy is expended in moving 1 C of charge between those two points. 1 V = 1 J / 1 C

What is the output voltage of a battery if 10 J of energy is expanded in moving 1.25C of charge?

1-6: Charge in Motion Is 1-6: Charge in Motion Is CurrentCurrent

When the potential difference between two charges causes a third charge to move, the charge in motion is an electric current.

Current is a continuous flow of electric charges such as electrons.


Fig. 1-9: Potential difference across two ends of wire conductor causes drift of free electrons throughout the wire to produce electric current.



The amount of current is dependent on the amount of voltage applied.

The greater the amount of applied voltage, the greater the number of free electrons that can be made to move, producing more charge in motion, and therefore a larger value of current.

Current can be defined as the rate of flow of electric charge. The unit of measure for electric current is the ampere (A).

1 A = 6.25 × 1018 electrons (1C) flowing past a given point each second, or 1A= 1C/s.

The letter symbol for current is I or i, for intensity.


A charge of 6 C moves past a given point every 0.3 seconds. How much is the current?

I = 20A

1-7: Resistance Is 1-7: Resistance Is Opposition to CurrentOpposition to Current

Resistance is the opposition to the flow of current. A component manufactured to have a specific value of

resistance is called a resistor. Conductors, like copper or silver, have very low

resistance. Insulators, like glass and rubber, have very high

resistance. The unit of resistance is the ohm (Ω). The symbol for resistance is R.

Calculate the resistance value in ohms for the following conductance values: (a) 0.001S (b) 0.01S

Note: Conductance is the reciprocal of resistance. The symbol for conductance is G = 1/R and S, Siemens, is the unit of conductance.

a) R = 1/0.001 S = 1000 Ω = 1 kΩ

b) R = 1/0.01 S = 100 Ω

2-2: Resistor Color Coding2-2: Resistor Color Coding

1-8: The Closed Circuit1-8: The Closed Circuit

A circuit can be defined as a path for current flow. Any circuit has three key characteristics:

1. There must be a source of potential difference (voltage). Without voltage current cannot flow.

2. There must be a complete path for current flow.

3. The current path normally has resistance, either to generate heat or limit the amount of current.


Open and Short Circuits When a current path is broken (incomplete) the circuit is

said to be open. The resistance of an open circuit is infinitely high. There is no current in an open circuit.

When the current path is closed but has little or no resistance, the result is a short circuit. Short circuits can result in too much current.

A closed circuit(current is flowing)

The purpose of theresistor is to limitcurrent (flow) or

togenerate heat.

1-9: Direction of the Current1-9: Direction of the Current

With respect to the positive and negative terminals of the voltage source, current has direction.

When free electrons are considered as the moving charges we call the direction of current electron flow. Electron flow is from the negative terminal of the voltage source through the external circuit back to the positive terminal.

Conventional current is considered as the motion of positive charges. Conventional current flows in the opposite direction from electron flow (positive to negative).

Direct current (dc) flows in only one direction.

Alternating current (ac) periodically reverses direction.

The unit for 1 cycle per second is the hertz (Hz). This unit describes the frequency of reversal of voltage polarity and current direction.
