In this post, you will be taught about something called circuit. Electrons do not work in air to get attracted by positive charged atoms. There is a medium in between which helps link the electrons to the positive charged atoms. The link is what that connects the negative area with the positive area. This is the link or the bridge in between them called as ‘circuit’.
So, circuit is important for the passage of electrons towards the positive charged atoms. The electrons movements, high or slow, depend on the resistance of material. If the circuit is not carefully observed, the number of electrons moving fast at one time can damage the circuit in the process. In our previous post, we learned that there is a strong attraction between the opposite charges and also we have learned that how we can build a circuit between the opposite charges.

Energy is of kind that can neither be created nor destroyed but it can be changed into different forms. With the growth of time it is found that energy can also be stored in battery in the form of chemical energy. On connecting battery in a circuit, it produces electricity.

We all know that electricity flows in wires and lights up bulbs, allowing us to use electrical devices like computers and kitchen machines. But the question arises where does the electricity comes from. In this post we will learn about how electricity is generated in power plant and in future posts we will get more knowledge of resources that produce heat to create electricity.

There are three basic forms of fuels, the coal, oil and natural gas. These fuels originated in the era of dinosaurs, the time that is hundreds of millions of years ago. The time period when these fossil fuels were formed is called Carboniferous period. The term is based on the basic element that all the fossil fuels possess – Carbon.
