AC/DC source
Equipment that will operate on either an AC or DC power source
Battery – a dc voltage source containing two or more cells that
convert chemical energy to electrical energy.
Cell- Single unit used to convert chemical energy into a DC
electrical voltage.
FUSE
Once you design a simple circuit on
electronics, it is important to include a fuse
in the primary or secondary of a transformer.
Fuse is a safety device used to protect
an electrical circuit from the effect of
excessive current. Its essential
component is usually a strip of metal
that will melt at a given temperature.
A fuse is so designed that the strip of metal can easily be placed
in the electric circuit. If the current in the circuit exceed a
predetermined value, the fusible metal will melt and thus break,
or open the circuit.
A fuse is usually rated in Amperes, which represent the
maximum continues current it could handle without blowing.
The most popular type of fuse in Electronics is 3AG type. This
code describes the case size and material with the “G” indicates
a glass materials and “A” indicates that intended for automotive
application. A 3AG fuse measures approximately 32mm x 6mm.

If its necessary to replace the length of wire, use the
same diameter or larger wire (smaller gauge
number).
Duplicate the length of the original wire as closely as
possible. Follow the wire color coding whenever
possible.
Strip the wire insulation about 20mm from both
ends.
Inspect the wire after the insulation has been
stripped, to check for damage or discoloration.
Clean the ends of the wires with wire cleaner or
rosin flux.
Slip the proper diameter and length of heat-shrink
tubing on to one wire.
Twist the wires together, or mesh the wires together
and crimp on a splice clip.
Solder the splice with rosin-core solder. Solder
should flow into the wires.
Pull on the wires lightly to ensure the splice is
properly soldered and tightened.
Apply dielectric grease over the repair area.
Slide heat shrink tubing over the splice and apply
that heat to tighten the tubing around the splice, or
Tightly wrap the splice with the proper electrical
tape.

INSTRUCTIONS
Now, "break" the circuit at one point and re-measure the voltage between
the same sets of points, additionally measuring voltage across the break
like this:
Re-connect the jumper wire to the lamp, and break the circuit in another
place. Measure all voltage "drops" again, familiarizing yourself with the
voltages of an "open" circuit.
3. Construct the same circuit on a breadboard, taking care to place the lamp
and wires into the breadboard in such a way that continuity will be maintained.
The example shown here is only that: an example, not the only way to build a
circuit on a breadboard:
You may also build the battery/lamp circuit on a terminal strip: a length
of insulating material with metal bars and screws to attach wires and
component terminals to. Here is an example of how this circuit might be
constructed on a terminal strip:
Types of Circuits
Open circuit- A type of circuit were the flow of current is cut off.
Kinds of Circuits
Series circuit
Circuit in which the components are connected end to end so
that current has only one path to follow through to the
circuit.
Containing only one path for current flow, the current leaves
the voltage source, and must travel through a single path to
return to the other side of the voltage source.
Series circuit may have only one or several loads in it, but
there is still only one path for current flow.
Laws of series circuit
Three basic laws that describe the behavior of a series
circuit
1. The individual resistance in a series circuit adds up
to the total circuit resistance.
2. The current has the same value at any point within
a series circuit.
3. The individual voltage across the load in a series
circuit add up to the total voltage applied to that
circuit.
Performance Objectives: Given the necessary tools and materials, you are
going to prepare and connect Simple Circuit.
Materials
dry cell
stranded wire, 2-meter long
flashlight bulb (about a 3 volt rating)
Steps/ Procedures
1. Prepare the necessary tools and materials
2. Observe the battery and records your observation based on the questions
below.
o Look at your battery. What differences are there between the two
ends?
o Which end is positive (+) and which is negative (-)?
3. Take your battery, light bulb, and one strip of aluminum foil and try to
connect them so that the bulb would light. Try as many different ways of
connecting them as you can.
i. Draw your arrangement and mark the ones that worked.
Which circuit that you drew caused the light bulb to light?
Why do you think did the other circuit did not cause the bulb to
light up?
Is there current flowing through the battery?
