Assembly 1

Connecting Battery Holders

Insert battery

1) When battery holders are connected together as shown in

While inserting AA-LR6 battery, pay attention for the polarity (+ and -) on the battery holder.

Fig. A and B, they are assembled IN SERIES.

2) When battery holders are connected together as shown in Fig. C, they are assembled IN PARALLEL.

The following combinations are never to be made! WARNING!

Avoid creating short circuit The electricity from a battery is produced through chemical reaction. Once an electrical circuit is complete, the electric current will flow through the circuit. If there is no any resistance in the circuit (means no any component consuming electricity), then we have a so called "short circuit". A short circuit is a situation that the electrical current flow through the wires with maximum energy. This energy is transformed into heat that will damage the circuit and even cause fire hazard. Also the battery will also be consumed very fast due to this high energy output. Above picture F to I showing some typical short circuit situation. Picture J is also not allowed, because the losing wire may come in contact with each other, which is again a short circuit. Note!

Changing the Bulb 1) Gently squeeze the cap and pull it off the holder (as Fig. K shows). 2) Twist off the worn-out bulb and replace with a new one (as Fig. L shows). 3) Replace the cap to the holder again.

Assembly 2

The buld might become loose on shipping. Be sure to twist on the bulb tightly so that the electricity is conducted.

› › › ELECTRICITY IN REAL LIFE In general, generators produce very high-voltage electricity which can be transmitted through a long distance to our houses. However, such electricity cannot be used. Normally, the electricity company will build a transformer station close to residential districts to adjust the voltages to an appropriate level for house using.

Electricity distribution system

Wind power plant Fig. 1 Distribute the electricity to our houses

The transformer station transforms different kinds of energy into electricity to provide households demands. The power distributed to our houses is called AC (alternating current); that is, a electric current which changes its direction and amount at regular intervals of time. Another type of current produced by dry batteries or rechargeable batteries is DC (direct current), which is an electric current won’t change with time.

The bulb is shining! What kind of toys do you have at home? Do they shine at night, make sounds or move? What are they made of ? What makes them shine or move? Do they all use batteries?

1) Dry batteries a) consist of 2 poles, positive (Symbol: + ) and negative (Symbol: - ) b) supply DC electricity transformed from chemical energy. c) positive pole has higher electric potential than negative d) the protruding end of the battery is the positive pole, while the other end is negative.

Carbon rod (positive)

Positive pole Symbol: +

Ammonium chloride Manganese dioxide Amylum compound Zinc (negative) Negative pole Symbol: Fig. 3 Structure of the battery

Electric pressure: a) The electric potential difference between the positive pole and the negative is called the electric pressure. b) The unit of electric pressure is voltage (V) c) The general voltage of a battery is 1.5V, that is, the electric potential of the positive pole is 1.5V higher than that of the negative.

› › › ELECTRIC CURRENT AND THE RELATED EXPERIMENTS

Electric current: a) Electric current is the flow of electric charge flowing in the conductor b) With the potential difference, plus a conducting wire from positive to negative, the electric current happens. c) The direction where electricity flows is from high to low potential d) The strength of the electric current depends on it’s amount. It is measured by Ampere (A). The speed of the electric current is the same as that of light, About 3 x 10 meter/second. Water at higher location Hish potential

Water at lower location

Low potential

Fig. 4 Electric potential difference produces voltage and current.

2) Battery Holder When we use battery at home, the positive and negative pole need to be connected to work. We usually put it in a battery holder so that a wire connector can easily connect them. Be sure to insert the battery in a correct direction.

Fig. 5 Insert the battery in a correct direction

› › › ELECTRIC CURRENT AND THE RELATED EXPERIMENTS

3) Wire connector Wire connector is the wire to conduct electricity. It is made of copper, a metal, wrapped with plastic cover to protect them from being touched each other or by people to cause short circuit or electric shock.

Fig. 6 Wire connector, no matter it is red or black, can conduct electricity from one end to the other.

4) Bulb Holder Bulb can produce light for people when it is dark. It produces light by heating up the filament. But how does it work? When electric current flows through the filament it releases energy and thus produces heat to heat up the filament. In 1879, Edison used coal as the material for the filament. Although coal has a very high melting point (3550°C) it's easy to be consumed and last only a short time and needs to be insulated from air (otherwise it will burn in the air). We are using tungsten filament with melting point at 3410°C. It has longer life but still burn in the air. Therefore the light bulb needs to be a vacuum. If you find your light bulb does not work, check if the filament is broken first. The bulb can be easily changed if needed. Cap Filament Bulb Tungsten double spiral filament Copper plate Housing Bulb holder The side hole where the Copper Bulb holder plate comes through

Power wires

Fig. 7 Tungsten filament can change the energy released by electric current into light and heat.

Our bulb holder contains 2 copper plates which lead two poles of the bulb separately to it’s two holes where the copper plates come through so that they can be conducted through the wire connectors which are inserted into the holes. This plug-in design is very convenient for us to build a circuit.

Bulbb

Fig. 8：The bulb is shining

1) The battery provides the electric current and voltage the circuit needs. we call it power source. 2) Light bulb is the electrical device in a circuit (the load). 3) The power source and the electrical device are connected with wire connectors. 4) Connect the battery holder, bulb holder with red and black wire connectors. 5) Does the bulb shine? 6) Put your hand close to (but not touching!) the bulb to see if the temperature increased.

Attention: Don’t touch the light bulb, it will become very hot!
