Introduction to Electricity:
Welcome to our beginner’s guide to Class 5 Science! In this lesson, we will learn about the important concepts of “Electricity and Circuits”—
Electricity is a very important concept to make our daily life much easier.
As we know that today there are many essential needs like running a washing machine, lighting light bulbs, running fans, charging mobiles etc. Electricity is required to run everything.
Key Points:
Electricity: It is a type of energy and is required to run many devices.
There are many resources to obtain electricity. Like fuel, air, water, solar energy etc.
Electric Current: It is a flow of charges, which flow through conductors. In general metals are good conductors of electricity.
Sources of Electricity:
Electric Cell (Battery): Electric cells, also known as batteries, are the most common source of electricity.
In a cell, two terminals are positive (+) and negative (-).
Positive Terminal: These provide positive charge and are generally red in colour.
Negative Terminal: These provide negative charge and are generally black in colour.
Electric Circuit: This is a closed path circuit through which current can flow. Due to incomplete circuits, current will not flow and such devices which run on direct electricity will not work.
Electric Circuit Components:
Switch: A switch device has to be used to turn a circuit on or off.
To complete the circuit it is necessary to have the switch on, so that the flow of current is possible.
When the switch is turned off the circuit is incomplete i.e. no current flow is detected.
Conductors and Insulators:
Conductors: Materials that allow the flow of electricity are called conductors.
Like- copper, aluminium, silver etc..
Generally most tar metals are good conductors of electricity.
Insulators: Materials that don’t allow or block the flow of electricity are called insulators.
Like- rubber, plastic etc.
Portable computers with all the essential components built into one device.

FAQs:
What is electricity?
As we know that today there are many essential needs like running a washing machine, lighting light bulbs, running fans, charging mobiles etc. electricity is required to run everything.
The best conductor of electricity?
For example- copper, aluminium, silver etc..
What do you mean by circuits?
What are the differences between conductors and insulators?
Conductors are materials that allow electric current to flow through them easily. They are typically made of metals or other materials with free electrons.
Metals:
Copper
Aluminum
Silver
Gold
Iron
Non-Metals:
Graphite (a form of carbon)
Liquids:
Saltwater (due to dissolved ions)
Lemon juice
Common Insulators of Electricity
Insulators are materials that do not allow electric current to flow through them easily. They are used to prevent accidental shocks or short circuits.
Non-Metals:
Rubber
Plastic
Wood (dry)
Glass
Ceramic
Liquids:
Pure water (distilled water)
Other Materials:
Cotton (dry)
Paper (dry)
