Study Notes
Heating Effect of Electric Current
- Occurs when electric current flows through a conductor, causing it to heat up due to resistance.
- This effect is used in appliances like electric heaters and light bulbs.
Magnetic Effect of Electric Current
- Refers to the creation of a magnetic field around a current-carrying conductor.
- This effect is the basis for electromagnets and electric motors.
Chemical Effect of Electric Current
- Involves the process of electrolysis, where electrical energy causes chemical reactions.
- This effect is used in electroplating and in the production of certain chemicals.
Electromagnetic Induction
- The production of an electromotive force (EMF) across an electrical conductor when it is exposed to a varying magnetic field.
- This principle is used in generators and transformers
Electric Motor Working Principle
- Converts electrical energy into mechanical energy using the magnetic effect of current.
- Consists of a rotating armature (rotor) within a stationary magnetic field (stator).
Domestic Circuit Components
- Main switch
- MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker)
- Fuse
- Earth wire
- Live wire
- Neutral wire
- Electrical outlets and appliances
Conserving Electrical Energy
- Use energy-efficient LED bulbs.
- Turn off appliances when not in use.
- Use natural light and ventilation when possible.
Function of a Fuse
- Safety device that melts and breaks the circuit when excessive current flows, protecting the circuit and appliances from damage.
How an Electric Bell Works
- An electric bell works on the principle of electromagnetic induction.
- When current flows, an electromagnet attracts an iron armature, which strikes the bell.
- When the circuit breaks, the armature springs back, repeating the process.
AC vs DC Current
- AC (Alternating Current) periodically reverses direction.
- DC (Direct Current) flows in only one direction.
