Powering Things using Electrons
Powering Things using Electrons
Let’s explore our Components Kit
Can you point out a Motor , Lamp and Terminal Block (Power Socket)?
Electric
Voltage/Power Sources
Battery (Non-rechargeable - Rechargeable)
Adapters (9V - 5V - etc.)
Output Devices
Lamp, Motors, etc.
Conductors
Helper Tools
AVO - Breadboards - Screwdrivers - etc.
Question 1: What can be done using these components ?
Types of Electricity
Direct (DC)
Ex: Battery
Alternating (AC)
Ex: Home Appliances
Effects of Electricity
Heat - Magnetism
Electronic vs Electric
What do you think the original electric devices that we use today look like 200 years ago ?
Measuring Electricity
Voltage vs Current (Water Analogy)
Elements of Circuits
Voltage Source (Battery - Adapter - etc)
Conductor (Jumpers )
Load
Safety Precautions
Beware of the high voltage
Use a current-limited voltage source (Like the one in your kit)
Beware of the short circuits
Beware of the components polarity
