Torch Light
On the right you can see the circuit
for a torch light.
The torch Light is powered by six
1.5 volt cells which are connected in
series. This produces a total of 9
volts.
ACtiVity
Try clic king on the switch to turn
the
torch light on and off.

A la derecha se puede ver el circuito de
luz de la antorcha .
La luz de la antorcha es alimentado por
seis clulas de 1,5 voltios que estn
conectados en serie. Esto produce un
total de 9 voltios.
Actividad
Trate rey clic en el interruptor para
encender la
luz de la antorcha y se apaga.

Reversible motor
The circuit opposite shows how a motor
can be made to change direction.
A double-pole, double-throw (DPDT)
switch connects both sides of the motor
to a battery.
NormalIy, the top of the motor connects
to the positive side of the battery and
the bottom to the negative side.
When the switch is pressed, however,
this wiring is reversed causing the
Electric current to flow in the opposite
direction. This in tum forces the motor
to rotate counter-clockwise.
Activity
Click on the switch to change the
direction in which the rotor turns.
Motor reversible
El circuito de muestra opuesto cmo un
motor se puede hacer para cambiar de
direccin.
Un doble polo , interruptor de doble tiro
( DPDT ) conecta ambos lados del motor
a una batera.
NormalIy , la parte superior del motor
se conecta al lado positivo de la batera
y la parte inferior para el lado negativo.

Quiz circuit
On the right you can see a quiz
circuit.
The circuit contains three switches
with
each switch corresponding to an
answer.
However, only the correct answer is
wired to bulb.
Activity
Calculate your answer in response
to the question shown opposite.
Now click on the switch that
corresponds to your answer. The
bulb will Iight if your answer is
correct.
Finally, try clicking on the other
switches
to see what effect they have.
circuito concurso
A la derecha se puede ver un circuito de
prueba.
El circuito contiene tres interruptores
con
cada interruptor correspondiente a una
respuesta.
Sin embargo, slo la respuesta correcta
est conectado a la bombilla.
Actividad
Calcula tu respuesta en respuesta a la
pregunta se muestra contrario.
Ahora haga clic en el interruptor que
corresponda a su respuesta. La bombilla
iight si su respuesta es correcta .
Por ltimo , intente hacer clic en los
otros interruptores
para ver el efecto que tienen.

Overload protection
Fuses are used to protect circuits
from
damage by preventing too much
electricity from flowing. You can see
a fuse in action in the circuit on the
right

Transistor delay circuit
The circuit on the right shows how
capacitors can be used to control a
transistor and create a delay.
In the circuit, a resistor (R) and
capacitor (C1) form an input to the
transistor. A second capacitor (C2) is
connected in parallel with the bulb.
Collectively, these allow the
transistor to smoothly turn a bulb on
and off.
Activity
Click on the switch. You will see that
the bulb smoothly turns on. This is
because capacitor C1 produces a
gradually
Increasing voltage that slowly
triggers the transistor.
Now click on the switch again. The
bulb smoothly tums off. Likewise,
electrical charge stored in capacitor

Automatic porch Light
This circuit provides an automatic porch
light that Light up whenever it get dark.
A Light sensor detects the level of light
in the environment. When the light level
falls, a transistor will switch on and
power a Light.
Activity
Adjust the Light level by clicking on the
slider that is next to the Light sensor.

Capacitor charging
The circuit opposite shows how a
capacitor can be used to both store and
release electrical charge.
A capacitor is made up of two electrical
plates with insulation between them.
When negative charges build up on one
of the plates, positive charges become
attracted to the other plate. This
creates a charge difference.
activity
Click on the switch. The capacitor will
start storing electrical charge from the
battery. As the charge collects, a
potential difference is formed between
the two plates (indicated by the + and signs as well as the increasing signal
shown on the graph).
Now click on the switch again. You will
see the capacitor discharging. As the
electrical charge dissipates, the
difference in charge between the two
plates reduces and this is shown by the
decreasing voltage signal shown on the
graph.
carga del condensador
El circuito muestra cmo un opuesta
condensador se puede utilizar para
almacenar y
liberar carga elctrica.
Un condensador est formado por dos
placas elctricos con aislamiento entre
ellos. Cuando cargas negativas se
acumulan en una de las placas , las
cargas positivas se atraen a la otra
placa . Esto crea una diferencia de
carga .
actividad
Haga clic en el interruptor. El
condensador comenzar a almacenar
carga elctrica de la batera. A medida
que la carga se acumula , se forma una
diferencia de potencial entre las dos
placas (indicados por + y - signos, as
como el aumento de la seal se
muestra en el grfico) .
Ahora haga clic en el interruptor otra
vez. Ver la descarga del condensador .
A medida que la
carga elctrica se disipa , la diferencia
de carga entre las dos placas reduce y
esto se demuestra por la disminucin
de la seal de tensin se muestra en el
grfico.
Relay
control circuit
A relay is an electrically-operated
switch.
One of the main uses for a relay is to
Allow one circuit to control another. This
can be seen in the circuit on the right.
activity
Try clicking on the switch.
You will see that the motor tums even
though the two components are not
connected.
This circuit also demonstrates how
useful
relays can be for building safer circuits.
The low voltage control circuit is kept
separate from the high voltage circuit. If
there was a fault on the switch, for
example, anyone pressing the switch
would only be exposed to the6 volts in
the control circuit and not the full 100
volts used to power the motor.
