In the succeeding task, we will cover the different types of circuits, the means of measuring and computing voltage, and current of batteries, especially those in a series-parallel circuit. 2. Electricity

a. Composition of Matter. Matter is defined as anything that occupies space and has weight; that is, the weight and dimensions of all matter can be measured. Examples of matter include air, water, automobiles, clothing, and even our own bodies. Therefore, we can say that matter may be found in any one of three states: solid, liquid, and gaseous. All material substances, solids, liquids, and gases, are made up of tiny particles known as atoms. Atoms combine in small groups of two or more to form molecules. Atoms can be further subdivided into smaller particles, some of which have positive electrical charges and others which have negative electrical charges. The atoms of different material substances are discussed in the following paragraphs. (1) There are over 100 different basic materials in the universe. These basic materials are called elements. aluminum, oxygen, hydrogen, and mercury are other elements. An element gets its name from the fact that it cannot be broken down easily into simpler (or more elemental) substances. In other words, these 100 basic elements are the building materials from which the universe is made. Close study of any one of these elements reveals that it is made up of those same basic particles, having a positive or a negative electrical charge. (2) The basic particles that make up all the elements, and thus the universe, are called protons, electrons, and neutrons. A proton is a basic Iron is one element, copper,
