Short Circuit Story

In the stories, “Energy Story,” “Short Circuit,” and “Conducting Solutions.” They use examples and real life experiments to tell the reader about energy and different ways it can be conducted.

To begin, In the story “Energy Story.” They first begin by catching the reader's attention by saying how energy is used everywhere in our lives and most of the appliances we use today would be useless without energy. They then begin to explain atoms and how they have to do with electricity. “Electrons can be made to move from one atom to another. When those electrons move between the atoms, a current of electricity is created.”(Energy story, paragraph 11) this quote shows the reader that energy is like an infinite chain that is practically always moving energy along from one atom to the next.

Another piece of evidence is in the next story, “Short Circuit.” In this story they begin with a do it yourself experiment to show how short circuiting happens and what it could do to appliances. “the voltage of the battery pushes electrons through the circuit against the resistance of the iron wire, causing the iron wire to heat up. As you move the clip closer to the battery, the resistance of the iron wire decreases. Because the same voltage is applied across a lower …show more content…
“An ammonia solution contains only a few ions, and it conducts electricity only poorly. A vinegar solution also contains only a few ions and conducts only a little electricity. But when these solutions are mixed, the ammonia reacts with the acid in vinegar (acetic acid), and they form a lot of ions. This is why the mixture of ammonia and vinegar conducts electricity very well.” (Conducting Solutions, paragraph 5.) In this quote, it shows that mixtures can react and create energy, even if they do not have very many
