ELECTRICITY - Coggle Diagram
ELECTRICITY
saving electricity
limited resources
non renewable
power stations which require burning of fossil fuels
pollutant gases
use alternatives that require less electricity
use the fan instead of air conditioners
use energy saving bulbs
switch off electrical appliances that are not in use
conductors / insulators
circuit tester
metals / water
water / cloth
factors affecting the size of the electric current
number of batteries in series
the bulb will fuze if the electric current flowing is too large
arrangment
series
number of batteries
more batteries
larger electrical count
brighter bulb
number of bulbs
more bulbs
smaller electrical current
less bright
parallel
bulbs
larger electrical current is the same
brightness of bulb remains unchanged
