ELECTRICITY

Value of mains
supply = 230V
 ELECTRICITY

Fuse is used as a
safety device
Prevents too much
current flowing in
circuit.
 ELECTRICITY

Power of
appliances
measured in
watts (W)
 ELECTRICITY

Plug wires – colours

Live – brown
Neutral – blue
Earth – green/yellow
Fuse in live position
 ELECTRICITY

Double insulation – no earth

wire required as casing of
appliance is plastic –non
conductor
 ELECTRICITY

Human being is a conductor

of electricity so do not touch
wires ,do not come into
contact with water with
electricity.

PARTS OF THE RADIO

1. AERIAL - PICKS UP ALL
SIGNALS
2. TUNER – SELECTS ONE
PARTICULAR SIGNAL
 TELECOM
3. DECODER – SEPARATES
CARRIER WAVE FROM
AUDIO WAVE
4. AMPLIFIER – MAKES
BIGGER COPY OF AUDIO
WAVE
 TELECOM
5.BATTERY – SUPPLIES
ENERGY TO AMPLIFIER
6. LOUDSPEAKER –
CHANGES ELECTRICAL
ENERGY TO SOUND
ENERGY
 TELECOM

COLOUR MIXING
3 PRIMARY COLOURS –
RED , GREEN , BLUE
TOGETHER MAKE WHITE
 TELECOM
RED AND GREEN GIVE
YELLOW.
RED AND BLUE GIVE
MAGENTA
GREEN AND BLUE GIVE
CYAN
 TELECOM

GEOSTATIONARY
SATELLITES ARE AT A
HEIGHT OF 36 , 000Km
ABOVE THE EARTH
THEY HAVE A 24 HR ORBIT
 TELECOM

SIGNALS
ARE MICROWAVE
AND TRAVEL IN A
STRAIGHT LINE TO AND
FROM THE SATELLITE.THEY
CANNOT CURVE IN THE
EARTH`S ATMOSPHERE
 TELECOM

OPTICAL FIBRES USED TO

CARRY INFORMATION BY
TOTAL INTERNAL
REFLECTION. LIGHT
TRAVELS AT A SPEED OF
200 , 000 , 000 M/S
 ELECTRICITY
 EQUATIONS

Q=IxT V=IxR
P=IxV P=E/t
 P = V2 / R P = I2R
 RT = R1 + R2
 1 /RT = 1/R1 + 1/R2
 ELECTRICITY
 RULES FOR SERIES AND PARALLEL CIRCUITS
 VOLTAGE SPLITS UP IN A SERIES CIRCUIT
 CURRENT STAYS THE SAME IN A SERIES
CIRCUIT
 VOLTAGE STAYS THE SAME IN A PARALLEL
CIRCUIT
 CURRENT SPLITS UP IN A PARALLEL CIRCUIT
 ELECTRICITY
 VOLTMETERS MEASURE VOLTAGE AND
GO ACROSS THE COMPONENT
 AMMETERS MEASURE CURRENT AND ARE
WIRED IN SERIES WITH THE
COMPONENTS.
 CIRCUIT COMPONENTS INCLUDE
RESISTORS , BULBS ETC.
 ELECTRICITY
 MAINS ELECTRICITY
 WIRES IN THREE PIN PLUG
 1. BROWN LIVE 2. BLUE NEUTRAL
 3. GREEN / YELLOW EARTH
 FUSE IS A SAFETY DEVICE WIRED IN THE
 LIVE PIN
 EARTH WIRE NOT NEEDED FOR DOUBLE
INSULATED APPLIANCES , THEY HAVE A
PLASTIC CASING
 ELECTRICITY
 MAINS ELECTRICITY
 THREE TYPES OF CIRCUIT
 1. THE LIGHTING CIRCUIT 15A FUSE 2.
THE RING MAINS CIRCUIT 30A FUSE
3. THE COOKER CIRCUIT 45A FUSE
 ALL ARE WIRED IN PARALLEL IF ONE
GOES OUT THE OTHERS STAY ON LESS
WIRE USED SO MONEY IS SAVED
 ELECTRICITY
 ELECTRIC MOTORS
 COIL OF WIRE CARRYING CURRENT
SURROUNDED BY A PAIR OF MAGNETS
 THE MORE TURNS ON THE COIL AND THE
STRONGER THE MAGNET , THE FASTER
THE COIL GOES.
 ELECTRICITY
 TWO COILS OF WIRE WITH AN IRON
CORE , THE PRIMARY COIL AND THE
SECONDARY COIL
 TRANSFORMERS
 NP /NS = VP / VS
 IP x VP = IS x VS
 HEALTH
 TYPES OF THERMOMETER
 1. THE LAB THERMOMETER 2. THE
CLINICAL THERMOMETER BOTH LIQUID
IN GLASS THERMOMETERS 3. THE
DIGITAL THERMOMETER
 DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LAB AND
CLINICAL THERMOMETERS, SIZE,SCALE,
MAGNIFIER IN CLINICAL
THERMOMETER,KINK
