In this section we review the convention used to describe currents in electrical circuits and review four laws of electricity.

Investigations led to improved safety protocols. As of 2014, one reactor was permanently shut down. Nuclear power accounts for 19% of U.S. electricity generation, with significant contributions from coal and natural gas.

It explains Einstein's 1905 proposal of light's particle nature, leading to the photoelectric effect, where light ejects electrons from metal surfaces based on frequency. Only light above a certain threshold can cause this ejection, with higher frequencies enhancing electron speed. The photoelectric effect has practical applications in devices such as calculators.

Each type has distinct properties, such as differences in melting and boiling points and electrical conductivity.

It explains the law of definite proportions, emphasizing that chemical compounds, like water, maintain fixed elemental ratios by mass. This principle aids in predicting chemical behavior and reactions, illustrated by the example of carbon dioxide production during combustion.

Thomson's work on electrons. It details how power outages disrupt electricity flow and describes Thomson's experiments with cathode ray tubes, which identified cathode rays as streams of electrons. His findings, including their deflection by magnetic fields and a consistent charge-to-mass ratio across substances, were pivotal in advancing atomic theory.
