Study Notes
Cell Holders
- Cell holders connect multiple cells in series to create a battery.
- Negative terminal of one cell connects to the positive terminal of the next.
- Holders accommodate different numbers of cells.
- Cells should be placed with positive terminals aligned.
Electric Circuits
- An electric circuit is a complete path for electric current to flow.
- It includes a battery, wires, a switch, and a bulb.
- When the switch is 'ON', the circuit is closed, and current flows.
- When the switch is 'OFF', the circuit is open, and no current flows.
Switch
- Controls the flow of current in a circuit.
- A closed circuit means the switch is 'ON'.
- An open circuit means the switch is 'OFF'.
Battery
- Provides electrical energy for the circuit.
Bulb
- Contains a filament that glows when an electric current passes through it.
Filament
- A thin wire within the bulb that gets hot and glows when current flows. This is the heating effect of electric current.
Electric Current and its Effects
- Electric current can generate heat.
- This heating effect is used in many appliances, including electric heaters, immersion heaters, hotplates, irons, geysers, electric kettles, and hair dryers.
- These appliances contain a coil of wire, known as an element, that heats up when current passes through it.
