Basic Circuits For Kids

Children s electronics demystify electricity through a host of fascinating practical projects.

Basic circuits for kids. In part 1 you ll learn how current voltage and circuits work by taking out a battery from a lemon turning a metal bolt into an electric magnet and turning a paper cup and some magnet into a rotating motor. They are so small that it takes billions and billions of them just to make something useful like a pencil. It must include a source of electricity such as a battery. Suffice it to say that two of the tiny particles that make up atoms protons and electrons are the bearers of electric charge.

Atoms are small particles that make up all matter. They have a positive terminal called the cathode and a negative terminal called the anode. A battery can act as a source of electricity in circuits. For more videos go to.

A circuit is a complete path around which electricity can flow. It stores up electric power and then provides a voltage across a circuit causing power to flow through the circuit. Electric charge refers to a fundamental property of matter that even physicists don t totally understand. This video will help kids learn all about electricity in a simple and easy way.

But what is electricity really. Let s start with three very basic concepts of electricity. Oct 22 2019 explore lisa herman s board electric circuits for kids on pinterest. Batteries use chemicals that react to produce electricity.

Materials that allow electric current to pass through them easily called conductors can be used to link the positive and negative ends of a battery creating a circuit.
