Electric circuits - Coggle Diagram
Electric circuits
Set of connected components through which an electric current flows
ELEMENTS
Conductors
join the components
allow the flow of the current
cables and wires
Receptors
transform electrical energy into another type of useful energy
COMPONENTS
Bulb
light energy
light
Motor
mechanical energy
motion
Electric resistors
thermal or calorific energy
heat
Bell
acoustic energy
sound
Generators
A generator (device need to produce energy),it has two poles,positive and negative.
Alternators or dynamos
transform motion into electric current
Photovoltaic solar cells
use energy from the sun
Batteries
electric current generate by chemical processes
Hydrogen cells
produce energy thanks to
oxygen from the air
hydrogen
Control components
They direct or interrupt the flow of the elctric current
A 3-way switch
Two outputs
communicates with two different circuits
allow the current to go one way or other
A push button
fixed position
changes when pressed
A switch
Two positions
allow the flow
stop the electric current
Protection components
interrupt the flow when it go too high
They can be
Fuses
Thermal magnetic circuit breakers
