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.

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 = I x V
P=E/t
P = V 2 / R P = I 2R
RT = R 1 + R 2
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
