Electrons acting as charge carriers flow from the negative pole to the positive
pole of the power source. This direction of flow is regarded as the physical direction
of current flow. In practice, electrical current is said to flow from the positive pole to
the negative pole. This direction of flow is regarded as the technical direction of
current flow
1.11 Summary
2.1 Experiment description
This experiment set up is similar to the previous one. However, its line path
contains two switches connected in series
When the Left Switch is open, and the Right switch is open, the lamp is off
When the Left Switch is open, and the Right Switch is closed, the lamp is off
When the Left Switch is closed, and the Right switch is open, the lamp is off
When the Left Switch is closed, and the Right switch is closed, the lamp is on
The adjacent circuit diagram displays a door opening system which allows a
building entrance door to be opened from four different floors. As the door opening
buttons are connected in parallel, pressing any one of them closes the electrical
circuit, thus allowing a current to flow through the door opener. Try out this function
yourself
3.4 Summary
The list on the right gives a survey of the most important items dealt with in
this chapter.
When the Upper Switch is open, and the lower switch is open, the lamp is off
When the Upper Switch is open, and the lower switch is closed, the lamp is off
When the Upper Switch is closed, and the lower switch is open, the lamp is off
When the Upper Switch is closed, and the lower switch is closed, the lamp is
off
This experiment demonstrates how to activate and deactivate loads from two
different points using changeover switches. You can test this function in the display
on the right. Click on the light switches for this purpose
4.3 Summary
The list on the right gives a survey of the most important items dealt with in this
chapter.
When the Left Switch is down, and the Right switch is down, the lamp is on
When the Left Switch is down, and the Right Switch is up, the lamp is off
When the Left Switch is up, and the Right switch is up, the lamp is on
When the Left Switch is up, and the Right switch is down, the lamp is off
5.1 Experiment description
Operating the switch interchanges the connections at the positive and negative poles
of the power source.
As a result, the current flows in the reverse direction through the electrical circuit.
5.3 Work on the experiment panel
The adjacent set up is a variant of the circuit illustrated on the previous pages.
Instead of changeover switches, this circuit contains two-way switches with an open
middle setting.
The direction of rotation of a DC motor depends on the direction of the current
flowing through it
5.5 Summary
The list on the right gives a survey of the most important items dealt with in this
chapter.
When S1 is closed, the electric will go through the lamp and the H2
When S1 is open, the electric will go through the lamp and the H3
When S1 is closed, parts of the relay is closed and the electric will go through
7 Conductivity
7.1 Experiment description
This experiment demonstrates how to adjust the current intensity by inserting
electrical resistances into the line path, i.e. by changing its conductivity.
The circuit in experiment panel 7 contains such a resistance.
- Electrical resistances
- This is the graphical symbol of a resistor. The line path inside the
resistor consists of resistive material. The resistors in the line path
allow electrical current to flow but reduce its intensity due to their lower
conductivity compared with the connecting leads in the line path. The
degree by which a component inhibits the flow of electrical current in a
line path is termed its resistance.
- Conductivity
- Different materials have different electrical conductivities. The better
the conductivity, the lower the electrical resistance. Conductivity and
resistance refer to the same property of a component, similar to
brightness and darkness which can both be used to describe the light
conditions in a room.
7.3 Applications
7.4 Summary
If a resistor is pre-connected, the lamp decreases in brightness but does not
completely extinguish.
The series resistor allows less current to flow. That is why the lamp becomes
dimmer
8. Ohm’s law
8.1 Experiment description
The aim of this experiment is to closely investigate the relationships between
voltage, current and resistance. The circuit for this experiment is provided on
experiment panel 8.
