THE RADIO PRIMER -
One Daily Fact for Listeners
when applied to Electricity on
really remnants of some old ideas of
the nature of electricity. ideas that
were current in the days of Bon-
jamin Franklin. People‘ used to
think, then. that-there were two
"lluids."- one positive and flowing in
one direction, the‘other negativeand
flowing in the opposite direction.
These two fluids made up. they
thought. the electric current.
“‘0 know now that this is not.
true. There is only one kind of
electric current. It is composed of
I. vast number of the tiny electric
particles called electrons. All these
are negatives.
An electric current flows only in
one direction. not in two. It always
consists of the electrons or negative
particles never of anything positive.
“'hen we come to deal with elec-
tric charges, as distinct from elec-
tric currents. the facts are a little
:more complicnetl. A negative charge
is simple enough. It is merely a lot
_of electrons crowded onto sorbe—
thing. If you give to a piece of
wire a negative charge that means
on it.
But how about a positive charge?
jl'hat gets us into the modern theory
of atoms. All. matter consists of
atoms. And all atoms. we now
know. consists in part of elecbons.
So that a wire always contains. even
when uncharged with electricity. a
vast number of electrons. Indeed.
wires are made mostly of electrons.
Now you can see what a positive
charge is It is something from
which some of the normal electrons
have been taken away. A negative
charge means some extra electrons:
a positive charge means too few
electrons.
