Recap on Electrical Vocabulary

When learning any new topic there will always be new words to learn - new vocabulary.

In the topic of electricity, some of the more tricky to understand words are watts, amps, electrons and volts.

Watts - these are the power - it's a measure of how much work the electricity can do.

Electrons - electricity is made up of tiny particles - these are electrons.

Amps - these are the amount of electricity in a circuit. The higher the amps, the more electrons are flowing.

Volts - volts are the pressure of the electricity in a circuit. The higher the volts, the stronger the push.

Volts measure the push of the electricity, amps measure the amount of electricity flowing and watts measure the power or work the electricity can do.

In this activity, we will practise using these terms.
