IT: Dispersion

4

Devices

Can you identify the electrical device shown?

5

Switches

Click on a switch to see its effect.

6

Ammeters

Ammeters are used to measure electrical current.

7

Exercise: Circuits1. Study the circuit below then answer the questions.

a) What will happen when the switch is closed?

b) Why?

c) What do we call this type of circuit?

d) Draw how the circuit should be set up so the lamp lights when the switch is closed.

The lamp does not light

Electricity always takes the easiest route and it is easier to go through the wire than the lamp

A short circuit

Exercise: Speed Calculations

A bongo walks a distance of 2 400m in a time of 8 minutes. What is the average speed of the bongo in metres per second?

Speed = distance/time

Speed = 2 400m/480s

Speed = 5m/s
