1 00:00:00,820 --> 00:00:11,460 Hello, good morning. We are going to explain, to learn about electricity, unit 6, which is the last unit from natural science. 2 00:00:12,019 --> 00:00:15,660 We are starting saying and explaining what is electricity. 3 00:00:16,559 --> 00:00:21,519 Electricity is a type of energy and you already know a lot about energy. 4 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:28,039 But to know about electricity a bit more, then we have to know what is an atom. 5 00:00:28,039 --> 00:00:53,179 An atom is the smallest particle of matter, and it is composed by a nucleus, which inside this nucleus we can find protons, positive charge, neutrons, no charge, and then around the nucleus we can find the electrons, which have a negative charge. 6 00:00:53,179 --> 00:00:59,240 They move around the nucleus all the time, so it's moving, constantly moving, ok? 7 00:00:59,820 --> 00:01:06,980 Así que es el átomo, dentro del átomo encontramos el núcleo, que es una abuelita pequeñita en el centro, 8 00:01:06,980 --> 00:01:17,359 donde encontramos los protones y los neutrons, y alrededor de ellos, moviéndose continuamente, están los electrons, que tienen una carga negativa. 9 00:01:17,359 --> 00:01:27,359 About the charges. Electrons can move from one atom to another, making possible to charge an object with electricity. 10 00:01:27,359 --> 00:01:37,359 So, talking about charges, we can say that an atom can be electrically neutral, electrically positive or electrically negative. 11 00:01:37,359 --> 00:01:44,359 When is it electrically neutral? When it has the same amount of electrons and protons. 12 00:01:44,359 --> 00:01:49,359 They have the same amount of electrons and protons. 13 00:01:49,359 --> 00:01:54,359 Tengo un negativo, tengo positivo, la misma cantidad, con lo cual es neutral. 14 00:01:54,359 --> 00:01:59,359 Electrically positive, when it has more protons than electrons. 15 00:01:59,359 --> 00:02:05,359 We have two protons here, one electron, more positive charges. 16 00:02:05,359 --> 00:02:15,360 So this atom is electrically positive, and then electrically negative it is when it has more electrons, 17 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:24,360 two in this case, two electrons, than protons. I only have one, so this atom is negatively charged. 18 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:31,729 What happens with the charges? The same as it happens with magnets. 19 00:02:31,729 --> 00:02:41,729 Different charges attract each other, positive and negative, love, love, love, they love each other, they attract 20 00:02:41,729 --> 00:02:53,960 But what happens when they have the same charge, positive and positive, or negative and negative, that they repel each other 21 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,960 Now we have to talk about different types of electricity 22 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:01,960 Electricity can stay or flow from one object to another 23 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:08,960 We have two kinds, two types of electricity. We have static electricity and we have current electricity, ok? 24 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:13,960 But we are going to start with the static electricity, electricidad estática. 25 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:21,960 It happens when two surfaces touch each other and the electrons move from one object to another, vale? 26 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,960 This is quite a bit complicated. 27 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:30,960 One of the objects will have a positive charge and the other a negative charge. 28 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:53,000 ¿Qué pasa? I have two atoms here. Los átomos siempre son neutros, ¿de acuerdo? ¿Qué sucede? Cuando dos superficies se tocan, hemos dicho que los electrones se están moviendo alrededor del núcleo, pues eso hace que los electrones, the electrons move from one atom to another, ¿vale? 29 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:59,960 so this one here loses an electron that is given to this one 30 00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:05,360 gained one electron, what does that mean? that if I had here the same number 31 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:11,360 of electrons and the same number of protons, now if I have lost one then I will have 32 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:18,500 one electron less, that is, I will have 10 electrons and 11 protons, as the 33 00:04:18,500 --> 00:04:23,259 electrons are negative and the protons are positive, what number do I have 34 00:04:23,259 --> 00:04:31,319 more of protons, of positive, so this atom is positively charged. What happens 35 00:04:31,319 --> 00:04:38,060 with this? Well, it turns out that we have said that it has gained one electron, that is to say 36 00:04:38,060 --> 00:04:44,540 that now instead of 11 it has 12 electrons. What charge do the electrons have? 37 00:04:44,540 --> 00:04:51,279 negative. ¿Cuántos prótons tiene? Los mismos que tenía, 11. Entonces, ¿de qué tiene más? 38 00:04:51,379 --> 00:04:58,199 ¿De negative o de positive? De negative. Así que este electrón está negatively charged, 39 00:04:58,420 --> 00:05:05,560 ¿vale? If you wrap an object quickly, like a balloon, or your feet on the carpet, this 40 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:12,860 will build up a rather large charge, ¿vale? O sea que cuando dos objetos se ofretan entre 41 00:05:12,860 --> 00:05:21,259 yes, it turns out that static electricity occurs because an atom has, there is no 42 00:05:21,259 --> 00:05:26,540 balance between the two atoms, they are not all neutral but one is 43 00:05:26,540 --> 00:05:31,339 positive and one is negative and we have said in the previous slide here that 44 00:05:31,339 --> 00:05:37,100 when one is positive and the other is negative, love, they attract each other and that is 45 00:05:37,100 --> 00:05:42,420 ¿Qué es lo que sucede? Pues cuando esto sucede nos da un chispazo, ¿verdad? 46 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:47,560 Mirad a este niño, nos da un chispazo, el pelo se nos pone de punta, etcétera, etcétera, ¿vale? 47 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,019 Esa es la static electricity. 48 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:57,699 Vamos a ver ahora what is the current electricity, las corrientes eléctricas. 49 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:03,079 Current electricity is electricity that flows from one object to another. 50 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,000 La electricidad que se mueve from one object to another. 51 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:13,540 We have to distinguish between two things, we are going to talk about electrical insulators 52 00:06:13,540 --> 00:06:20,399 and electrical conductors, you already know this from last unit, so electrical insulators 53 00:06:20,399 --> 00:06:26,720 don't allow electricity to pass through them, no permiten que la electricidad pase a través 54 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:33,319 de ellos, son materials, not metals, pues los materiales que no son metales, son aislantes, 55 00:06:33,319 --> 00:06:37,680 ¿De acuerdo? Pues como hablábamos del calor, el plástico, el cristal 56 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,680 They are electrical insulators 57 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,680 On the other side we have electrical conductors 58 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,560 Which allow electricity to pass through them 59 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,660 What materials are they? 60 00:06:48,879 --> 00:06:50,120 Almost all metals 61 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:51,079 Los metales 62 00:06:51,079 --> 00:06:55,660 Los metales transmiten la electricidad, conducen la electricidad muy bien 63 00:06:55,660 --> 00:06:59,439 ¿De acuerdo? ¿De qué material está hecho el enchufe? 64 00:06:59,439 --> 00:07:04,319 o el cargador del móvil que nosotros metemos en el enchufe es de plástico, 65 00:07:04,899 --> 00:07:07,800 es de plástico la parte por donde nosotros lo agarramos, 66 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,939 porque hemos dicho que el plastic is an electrical insulator, 67 00:07:11,620 --> 00:07:15,819 pero ¿y las dos clavijitas que se ponen en el enchufe? 68 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:21,500 Están hechas de metal, because metal is an electrical conductor. 69 00:07:24,379 --> 00:07:29,259 We have to talk about an electrical circuit when we are talking about current electricity. 70 00:07:29,259 --> 00:07:39,860 circuito eléctrico, it is a current electricity allows electrons to flow through a path 71 00:07:39,860 --> 00:07:43,660 ¿vale? permite que los electrones se mueven en un camino que nosotros les damos 72 00:07:43,660 --> 00:07:45,839 como es este circuito, ¿de acuerdo? 73 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,399 what is number one? number one is the switch 74 00:07:48,399 --> 00:07:53,240 it opens and closes the circuit, it can stop the flow 75 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,800 ¿vale? abre y cierra el circuito, lo apago, lo cierro, lo enciendo 76 00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:01,240 Pues lo estoy abriendo para que pasen los electrones 77 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,660 Number two, this one 78 00:08:03,660 --> 00:08:05,699 This one is the power source 79 00:08:05,699 --> 00:08:08,220 And it provides the electrical energy 80 00:08:08,220 --> 00:08:10,980 Number three, the wires 81 00:08:10,980 --> 00:08:13,300 They conduct the electricity 82 00:08:13,300 --> 00:08:17,160 And number four, yes, light bulbs in this case 83 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,899 Light bulbs are the resistor 84 00:08:19,899 --> 00:08:24,879 Which transforms the electricity into another form of energy 85 00:08:24,879 --> 00:08:34,779 so light bulbs transform electrical energy into light energy now we are going 86 00:08:34,779 --> 00:08:42,440 to talk about inventors and inventions okay in 1800 we have Alessandro Volta 87 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:48,000 who invented the battery las pilas okay the battery and what do they do they 88 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:53,639 transform chemical energy into electrical energy then 31 years later 89 00:08:53,639 --> 00:09:00,840 Michael Faraday invented the electrical generator, yes, el generador eléctrico, it 90 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:06,320 transfers mechanical energy into electrical energy, vale, esto se mueve, por eso es 91 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:11,139 mechanical energy, se mueve y el movimiento le produce energía eléctrica. 92 00:09:11,139 --> 00:09:18,120 In 1876 Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone, so I think you don't need 93 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:26,519 me to explain this, but this picture here is a very old telephone. In 1879, Thomas 94 00:09:26,519 --> 00:09:32,340 Edison invented the light bulb, la bombilla. It transforms electrical energy into 95 00:09:32,340 --> 00:09:40,299 light energy. Thomas Edison was very important. In 1888, Nikola Tesla invented 96 00:09:40,299 --> 00:09:46,019 the alternating current motor. It allows, is this thing here, it allows electricity 97 00:09:46,019 --> 00:09:51,019 it is to travel long distances and transforms it into mechanical energy. 98 00:09:51,019 --> 00:09:58,019 Marconi, in 1894, radio transmitter was the radio. It transforms electrical 99 00:09:58,019 --> 00:10:03,000 energy into sound energy, so Marconi invented the radio. And finally, Alan 100 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:08,700 Turing, 1936, he invented a computer which is this machine here, very different to 101 00:10:08,700 --> 00:10:15,539 the computers you know from these days. What does a computer do? Well, it 102 00:10:15,539 --> 00:10:20,039 It processes the information and shows it on a screen, ok? 103 00:10:22,539 --> 00:10:25,039 Now I'm going to tell you a story about Alan Turing 104 00:10:26,039 --> 00:10:27,039 It's short, ok? 105 00:10:27,039 --> 00:10:31,039 He invented the computer, as you already know 106 00:10:31,039 --> 00:10:36,039 and it was very curious because this man was put in jail 107 00:10:36,039 --> 00:10:42,039 In his time, it was very poorly seen that men would like men 108 00:10:42,039 --> 00:10:50,039 so they thought that this was also a disease and Alan Turing was told that he was sick and that he had to cure that disease 109 00:10:50,039 --> 00:10:59,039 they put him in jail, they were giving him medication to prevent him from liking men, but well, you know that that cannot be changed 110 00:10:59,039 --> 00:11:05,039 then one day he decided that he did not want to continue living 111 00:11:05,039 --> 00:11:12,120 so he talked to someone and this someone gave him an poisoned apple 112 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:16,220 of food he had asked for it he wanted to die he did not want to continue living he was 113 00:11:16,220 --> 00:11:20,500 having a hard time he was suffering a lot so he gave a bite to that 114 00:11:20,500 --> 00:11:27,159 apple and fell down in his cell later when they went to pick up the 115 00:11:27,159 --> 00:11:33,019 they saw him dead on the ground and an apple bitten 116 00:11:33,019 --> 00:11:39,620 on his side. Well, do you know what is the symbol of an 117 00:11:39,620 --> 00:11:45,580 apple bitten, if it occurs to you? Yes? Well, yes, you guessed it, it is the 118 00:11:45,580 --> 00:11:50,919 apple symbol, right? An apple bitten. Well, Apple, its inventor, 119 00:11:50,919 --> 00:11:58,019 wanted to make this memory of Alan Turing, putting as an icon of his company 120 00:11:58,019 --> 00:12:03,720 the bitten apple that Alan Turing, the inventor of the computer, bit. 121 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:09,419 And that's it. That's all. I hope you've enjoyed watching me. 122 00:12:09,419 --> 00:12:13,559 If you have questions, please write to me. Bye bye!
