* Electrical working
● Energy is transferred from chemical
energy in the battery to electrical energy
used by circuit components and then to
the surroundings.
This electric energy is converted to heat
energy in the conductor which raises its
temperature, or can be converted to
motion or light or sound ……….
● The power of a component is given by
P=IV =V2/R =I2R
The electric energy is given by: Semiconductor diode

Forward bias is when the diode is
pointing in the direction of the

the current flows backwards then because the power used is constant,
forwards then backwards etc. so it is an

alternating current.
●Transformers are used to step up the
voltage in power lines which reduces
power loss.
- Because a higher voltage means a
smaller current and the loss of power due
to P=I2R will be lower.
