Suggestions to Parents ˙ Please read these instructions carefully begore you begin, follow the safety guidelines and keep them for reference. We recommend building the models in the order given. This will help you understand how the parts are assembled; you will then be able to invent many more models. ˙ This kit is for children at the age of 8 or above. ˙ It is designed to help chidren discover what an electric circuit is by building a variety of models and the effect between electric current and magnetism. ˙ Make sure children follow the safety guidelines and understand the possible risks involved before starting building these models. ˙ Caution! Never insert a wire-connector or any component into a household electrical socket as this can cause electrical shock and results personal injury or serious property damage. Only use the batteries recommended for this kit.

Product Cleaning ˙ Please remove the battery from the battery box before cleaning. ˙ Use a slightly damp cloth to clean the parts. ˙ Do not use detergent.

Safety Guidelines ˙ Loading and removing the battery should be carried out by an adult. ˙ Pay attention to the positive and negative polarity of the battery. ˙ Alkaline batteries are recommended for having sufficient power for all electromagnet experiements. ˙ Do not mix batteries of different types or new with used one. ˙ Do not short-circuit the batteries! A short-circuit can cause the wires to overheat and the batteries to explode. ˙ Remove the empty batteries from the toy and dispose them in accordance with your local regulation. Do not dispose the battery in household trash. ˙ Always remove the battery after the experiments. Store the battery that is not easily accessible for the child.

Notice 1. All experiments should be operated thru the built models not battery holder(s) only. This package includes 2 battery holders for AA-LR6 type battery. Batteries are not included in the package. 2. Please follow the suggestion to reel the fine-wire properly. This will improve the magnetism effect of experiment.

How to Assemble Assembly 1 Insert Battery While inserting AA-LR6 battery, pay attention for the polarity (+ and -) on the battery holder.

Connecting Battery Holders 1) When battery holders are connected together as shown in 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!

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.

Connecting the Wire Connector to the Switch, Bulb Holder or Motor OFF

Exchanging a Spindle Gear with a Motor Axle Insert the “B” end of a Peg Remover into the bottom of a Spindle Gear and lever it up to remove it. Then put a Motor Axle on and press it down until it is fixed on the metal axle (as Fig. K shows). Insert the “A” end of a Peg Remover into the bottom of a Motor Axle and lever it up to remove it. Then put a Spindle Gear on and press it down until it is fixed on the metal axle (as Fig. L shows).

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

Pulling Peg Off O

Use the side “A” of the Peg Remover to pull off the Peg (as Fig. O shows).

* The bulb may loosen during transportation. Check that it is correctly installed in the socket so electricity can flow.

Assembly 2 Connecting Base Grid, Frame and Rod Use the Base Connectors to join Base Grids together as Fig. P shows.

Both the peg and axle connector can be used to join rods and frames.

Frames can be connected directly to each other end to end.

The History of Electricity and Magnetism In 1785, Charles Augustin Coulomb discovered the interactive relationship between two electric charges and brought us new knowledge about â&#x20AC;&#x153;electricityâ&#x20AC;?. People thought electricity and magnetism were two irrelevant features in physics until 1802, when Hans Christian Oersted found out the relationship between electric current and magnetism. That is, a magnetic field will be formed around a current-carrying wire. This magnetic field is the same as that formed by a simple magnet. Both of them can make the compass needle deflect. This proves that electricity and magnetism are related to each other and both exist at the same time. From then on, scientists had been exploring electricity and magnetism for several decades.

Andre Marie Ampere, 1775-1836, devoted himself to the measurement of electricity as a pioneer. The international unit of electric current, A (Ampere), comes after his name. Carl F. Gauss, 1777-1855, valued the strength of electric field. George S. Ohm, 1784-1854, discovered voltage and resistance. Michael Faraday, 1791-1867, used iron filings to show magnetic lines of force on the magnetic field formed around the magnet. These were breakthroughs in traditional knowledge that time.

Electricity and Magnetism in Real Life There are lots of electrical appliances in our life. They all need electricity to make them work. Where does electricity come from? Firstly, we need to know the relationship between electricity and magnetism. 1) Faraday discovered that when moving a magnet in a coil, the change of magetic field will generate electricity in the coil. 2)The phenomenon that electricity is produced from the change of magnetic field caused by the movement of the magnet is called electromagnetic induction. 3)The generated electricity is called induced electricity. 4) The faster the magnet moves, the faster the magnetic field changes in coil, and greater the electric current is induced. 5)The electricity can also be induced by moving the coil towards or away from the magnet instead. 6) Based on this principle, we can generate unlimited electricity by using a mechanical device that continuesly changes the position of magnetic field by continuesly moving the coil. Today, this mechanical device is called "the generator".

a) Insert the magnet rod, a current is induced

b) Hold the magnet rod still, no electric current in the coil

c) Remove the magnet rod, the induced current flows in opposite direction

The difference between a permanent magnet and an electromagnet: An electromagnet has a soft iron core that has wire wrapped around it. The magnetic force can be adjusted by changing the electric current flowed through the winding. A permanent magnet is made of ferromagtic material that is magnetized by an external magnet field. The magnetic force stays mainly constant or may reduce over the time.

Basic Electric Current Electric current

Positive pole Carbon rod (positive)

Symbol :

Ammonium chloride Manganese dioxide Amylum compound

Zinc (negative) Negative pole Symbol : Fig: Structure of a battery

Voltage 1) The electric potential difference between the positive pole and the negative is called the voltage. 2) The unit of electric voltage is the Volt (V). 3) The voltage of a battery is often 1.5V, which means the electric potential of the positive pole is 1.5V higher than that of the negative.

Electric current: a) Electric current is the flow of electric charge in the conductor. b) With the potential difference, plus a conducting wire from positive to negative pole, the electric current happens. c) The direction of the electrical flow is from high to low potential. d) The amount of the electric current is measured by Ampere (A). The speed of the electric current is the same as that of light, about 3x108 meter/seconds.

Fig. Electric potential difference resultes in voltage and current.

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

7 Experiments Experiment-1 Let the bulb shine Let's build a basic circuit including 1 battery holder, bulb holder and wire connectors.

bulb

battery I

Fig. 1 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!

Experiment-2 Use the switch to turn on or off the bulb. Connect the battery holder, switch and bulb holder with wire connectors. 1) When the switch is turned on, it allows the current to go through. This is called a “closed” circuit. 2) When the switch is turned off, it doesn’t allow the current to go through. This is called an “open” circuit. 3) The circuit is shown below:

Fig. a switch battery Fig. b
