I DEFINITION OF TERMS
1. ENERGY - Energy is defined as the amount of work that can be done using force or
the ability to do work. Furthermore, energy is power that has been assimilated over time.
2. WORK - Work is the application of force, f to move an item or object over a distance,
d in the direction of the applied force. Work is performed when a force causes motion.
3. POWER - Power is the rate at which work or energy is done or conveyed.
4. VOLTAGE - the electric potential difference between two points. How far the electricity
wishes to travel from one location to another. Volts are used to measure voltage.
5. ELECTRIC CURRENT - Electric current is the flow of electricity in an electrical circuit
as well as the amount of electricity flowing through a circuit. It's measured in amperes (A).
The higher the figure in amperes, the more electricity flows through the circuit.
II DRAW OR SKETCH THE SYMBOLS OF THE FOLLOWING ELECTRICAL DEVICES

DEVICES
A circuit breaker is a type
of electrical switch that
protects an electrical
circuit from damage
caused by overcurrent/overload
1. CIRCUIT or short circuit. Its primary
BREAKER function is to stop current flow
when protective relays
detect a problem.

The primary purpose of an

electric fuse is to protect
electrical equipment from
excessive current and to avoid
short circuits or mismatched
loads. Electrical fuses act as small
2. FUSE Circuit breakers.
Aside from protecting
equipment, they are also
utilized as safety precautions to
keep humans safe.

battery is a collection of cells that

converts chemical energy into
3.
BATTERY electrical energy.
 A voltmeter is an electronic device
VOLTMETER used to measure the electrical voltage
4. in an electronic circuit.

The function of switch in an electric

circuit is to either make or break the
SWITCH electric circuit. A switch is used to
5. turn current to an electrical appliance
either on or off.

A push button switch is a mechanical

device used to control an electrical
circuit in which the operator
6. PUSH BUTTON manually presses a button to actuate
an internal switching mechanism

A capacitor is an electrical device

that stores and releases electrical
energy into a circuit. It actually
7.
CAPACITOR transmits alternating current into the
circuit rather than direct current.

Fixed resistors serve numerous

functions, the most important of
which is to limit the amount of
current passing through a circuit.
Excess current is dissipated as heat
8. FIXED RESISTOR energy, and each fixed resistor has a
power rating that must not be
exceeded in order to avoid failure
and probable circuit failure.

Variable resistors are extensively

used in electric circuits to modify the
value of current or voltage since their
resistance may be set to a specific
value. Variable resistors allow you to
9. VARIABLE change the voltage value by adjusting
RESISTOR the resistance while keeping the
current constant.
 In an electric circuit, a cell is the
active source or elements. Its primary
10. CELL role is to provide power to the closed
circuit or to control the flow of
current through the circuit.

Antennas are energy converters that

convert electrical energy to
electromagnetic energy. Antennas
11. ANTENNA have the ability to function as both
transmitters and receivers.

An ammeter is used in series with the

part of the circuit to measure the
12. AMMETER passing current to measure direct or
alternating electric current.
A wattmeter is an instrument used
to measure and estimate electrical
power. It is typically used to
determine the amount of power
WATTMETER flowing through a circuit and can be
13.
used to estimate the electrical load of
a system.

A galvanometer is used to determine

GALVANOMETER and measure the intensity and direction
14.
of electrical current.

SPEAKER Speakers work by converting electrical

15. energy into mechanical energy
(motion).
