    The document provides information about electricity including: - Mains electricity is 230V and fuses are used as safety devices to prevent too much current. - Appliance power is measured in watts and plug wires have specific colors for live, neutral, and earth wires. - Double insulated appliances do not require an earth wire as the casing is non-conductive plastic. - Human beings conduct electricity so care should be taken not to touch wires or be in contact with water and electricity.

    ELECTRICITY

    Valueof mains
    supply = 230V
    ELECTRICITY

    Fuse is used as a
    safety device
    Prevents too much
    current flowing in
    circuit.
    ELECTRICITY

    Power of
    appliances
    measured in
    watts (W)
    ELECTRICITY

    Plug wires – colours


    Live – brown
    Neutral – blue
    Earth – green/yellow
    Fuse in live position
    ELECTRICITY

    Double insulation – no earth


    wire required as casing of
    appliance is plastic –non
    conductor
    ELECTRICITY

    Human being is a conductor


    of electricity so do not
    touch wires ,do not come
    into contact with water with
    electricity.

     EQUATIONS

     Q=IxTV=IxR
    P=IxV P=E/t
     P = V2 / RP = I2R
     R T = R 1 + R2

     1 /RT = 1/R1 + 1/R2


    ELECTRICITY
     RULES FOR SERIES AND PARALLEL CIRCUITS
     VOLTAGE SPLITS UP IN A SERIES CIRCUIT
     CURRENT STAYS THE SAME IN A SERIES
