3. Heat energy is ___ of the potential and kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.

4. In ___, energy is released when atoms are combined or fused together.

5. When heat flows into a substance it may ___ the kinetic energy of the particles and thus elevates its temperature.

IV. Arrange the following words in pairs according to similar meaning and translate them:

Motion, profound, instrument, to operate, to contain, to emit, to occur, for example, to proceed, to reduce, to radiate, for instance, movement, device, deep, to include.

V. Use the words underlined in this text to fill the gaps in the following sentences (given below):

Electricity is the phenomenon associated with positively and negatively charged particles of matter at rest and in motion, individually or in great numbers. Since every atom contains both positively and negatively charged particles, electricity is connected with the physical properties and structure of matter and is an important factor in physics, chemistry and biology.

1. Lightning is a naturally occurring electrical _____.

2. Electrical conductivity is an important ______of metals.

3. Atoms, which were once thought to be the smallest _____, are known to consist of even smaller ones.

4. _____, atoms have only a weak charge, but a very large number together can make a powerful charge.

5. Albert Einstein discovered the relationship between ______ and energy.

VI. Themes for the presentation. You can do it in groups, in pairs or individually.

1. Electricity is a basic part of nature and it is one of our most widely used forms of energy.

2. The application of forms of energy.

3. How to produce and use electricity.

4. Renewable sources of energy.

Electrical phenomena have been studied since antiquity; though progress in theoretical understanding remained slow until the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Even then, practical applications for electricity were few, and it would not be until the late nineteenth century that engineers were able to put it to industrial and residential use. The rapid expansion in electrical technology at this time transformed industry and society. Electricity's extraordinary versatility means it can be put to an almost limitless set of applications which include transport, heating, lighting, communications, and computation. Electrical power is now the backbone of modern industrial society.
