    Unit its Shocking MYP year Level 3 Syed Arshad Mushtaq

    Lesson Objectives
    Explain the difference between open and closed

    circuits Explain what voltage is Draw simple circuit diagrams using the correct symbols.

    You plugged in an electronic device!!!


    But it is not working what could be the reason !!!!!
    Can you figure out!!!!

    OMG I forgot to turn on the switch

    Electric circuit
    For electricity to

    flow, electrons must have a path to follow. The path is called an electric circuit.

    simple circuits
    Here is a simple electric circuit. It has a cell, a lamp and a switch.
    wires

    cell

    switch

    lamp

    To make the circuit, these components are connected


    together with metal connecting wires.

    Open and closed Circuit


    A Switch to Control a Circuit A switch is used to open and close a circuit.

    A switch
    A switch is a device that can open and close a circuit.

    This allows, for example, an appliance to be turned on and off.

    Circuit Diagram
    In circuit diagrams, all

    connecting wires are drawn as straight lines. Symbols are used to represent different parts of the circuit. The symbols used in circuit diagrams are recognized all around the world by scientists and electricians

    circuit diagrams
    In circuit diagrams components are represented by the following symbols;

    cell

    battery

    Open switch

    Closed switch

    Lamp or globe

    ammeter

    voltmeter

    motor

    buzzer

    Your Turn now


    Look at the figure A- Identify what is missing in this circuit? B- Draw a circuit diagram for this circuit in your copybook

    Challenge
    Draw a circuit diagram

    containing one globe ( lamp), a cell, an open switch and an ammeter

    End Section activities


    What is a closed circuit?

    A closed circuit is complete unbroken circuit Which part of a light globe glows to produce light? The filament From which terminal of a battery are electrons forced out? The negative terminal of the battery forces electrons out What does voltage measure? Voltage measures how much energy the battery gives the electrons to move around the circuit

    Thinking Challenge
    If three 1.5 volt batteries were used to power a torch

    instead of two, what voltage would they provide to the torch? 4.5 V Why is it important to have circuit symbols that are recognized by scientists and electricians around the world? It allows scientists and electricians to communicate each other about electricity without confussion

    Thinking Challenge
    Why is it important for

    the strip connecting the batteries to the globe to be made of metal? Because metals conduct electricity

    Homework
    A- Draw a simple circuit diagram for buzzer at your

    home.
    Symbol for AC power supply ( the Power Supply at your Home )
