WHEN DEALING WITH ELECTRICITY
SAFETY FIRST ALL THE TIME
SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM

 Is a representation of the elements of a

system using abstract, graphic symbols
rather than realistic pictures.

 The symbolic elements are arranged to

be more easily interpreted by the viewer.
PICTORIAL DIAGRAM

 is a sketch of electrical circuit that shows

the external appearance of each
component. It is much like a photograph
of the circuit and uses simple images of
parts.
 The simplest of all the diagram
ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS
 Is a path in which electrons from a
voltage or current source flow

 Complete circuit is composed of source,

load and a path
COMPLETE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT
 TWO FORMS OF ELECTRICAL
POWER (SOURCE)
 ALTERNATING CURRENT

 DIRECT CURRENT
TYPES OF ELECTRICAL
CIRCUITS
CLOSED CIRCUITS

 An electrical circuit through which current

can flow in an uninterrupted path.

 Continuous path through which current

can flow
OPEN CIRCUIT

 This is a type of circuit in which there is

NO current flow

 When you open the switch or turned it off

it becomes open circuit and becomes
closed circuit when turned on.
SHORT CIRCUIT

 A type of circuit that allows a current to

travel along an unintended path.

 This result in excessive amount of current

flow, which causes fire or explosion .
SERIES CIRCUITS
SERIES CIRCUITS

 The current through series component is

equal

 The voltage drops across each

components in the circuit sum to the
source voltage. Also, in a series circuit, all
components of the same type may be
combined to result in an equipment value.
 Is that the amount of current is the same
through the component in the circuit. This is
because there is only one path for electrons
to flow in a series circuit, and because free
electrons flow through conductors.

 A device is connected in a manner such that

there is only one pathway by which charge
can transverse the external circuits

PARALLEL CIRCUITS
PARALLEL CIRCUITS

 The voltage across every parallel

component is equal.

 Has more than one resistor and gets its

name from having multiple paths to move
along.
 Charges can move through any several
paths.

 Is one that has two or more paths for the

electricity to flow, the loads are parallel to
each other.

CIRCUITS CIRCUITS

 One pathway  Two or more path

 Current same Converts electrical  Current splits passes

anywhere in the energy to light, heat, through pathways
circuit sound, etc.
 One bulb is busted,  Voltages across are
circuit incomplete equal

 Brightness of the bulb  One bulb is busted,

is less Circuit is still
complete
Cite some importance of Series
and Parallel Circuits in the
households.
