Theory: Functional and open

(a)
(a) Functional Electrical Circuit. An electrical circuit is functional only when al
components of the circuit are connected in proper order, assuming that allc
components/devices are in working condition and key is closed.
b) Open Electrical Circuit. An open circuit means that there is a break in some partofte
circuit. The break may be deliberate such as key is in open position orthereis ah
such as broken wire burnt out
or
component(s) or loose connection.
 open circuits (i.e.,
non-functional circuits) are
Some of the suggested given below

Draw the circuit diagrams 7.10 (a), (b), (c) and (d) in your
notebook.
9 Pick up one circuit. Write its
various components in the observation table. Mark those
components which are not connected in
proper order.
3. Draw the correct circuit diagram

A. Now make the correct connections using the electrical components in the manner given
in the corrected circuit diagram.

5, Now close the plug key and check up whether the corrected circuit is now functional.
Observations

For correct connection, mark yes ( and for incorrect put (X) mark.

S.No. Circuit Component Correct Connection Wrong Connection

1. Cellbattery
2. Key
3 Resistor

4. Rheostat
5. VoltmeterT
6. Ammeter

Result
The corrected circuit assembled using components in proper order is found functional on
checking.
Precautions
LAmmeter and voltmeter of suitable range should be chosen.

2 Ammeter should be connected in series with the Circuit and voltmeter in parallel. It means
of the battery should be connected to the positive terminal of
that the positive terminal
the voltmeter and positive terminal of
ammeter.

S. Before making connections, the ends of the connecting wires should be cleaned by
rubbing with sand paper.
The plug key should be kept open normally and be closed only when required.
