Electrical Current An electric current is a flow of electrical charge. When a metal conducts electricity‚ the charge is carried by electrons moving through the metal. Electrons are subatomic particles with a negative electrical charge. When a solution conducts electricity‚ the charge is carried by ions moving through the solution. Ions are atoms or small groups of atoms that have an electrical charge. Some ions have a negative charge and some have a positive charge. Citric Acid Citric acid is

nearly all power stations is a generator‚ a rotating machine that converts mechanical power into electrical power by creating relative motion between a magnetic field and a conductor. The energy source harnessed to turn the generator varies widely. It depends chiefly on which fuels are easily available‚ cheap enough and on the types of technology that the power company has access to. Most power stations in the world burn fossil fuels such as coal‚ oil‚ and natural gas to generate electricity‚ and some
