Description

This comprehensive system provides a strong
foundation for studies in electricity and
electronics. Electricity System 1 is designed as a
perfect introduction to the basic fundamentals
of electricity and provides a good platform for
more advanced study. Each connection block
contains a description of the component housed
inside it. Connectors are made of special metal
alloys that allow excellent conduction of current
to give accurate results. Electricity System 1 can
be mounted on the Altay Magnetic Board (code
4114.30), for class demonstration experiments.

EXAMPLE OF USE

Ohm’s Law – The fundamental principal of
electricity
The Ohm’s Law is the fundamental law of
electricity and it helps us understand the relation
between current, voltage and resistance. Ohm’s
Law explains that the amount of electrical currnt
flowing through a metal conductor of a circuit is
directly propotional to the voltage across it, for any
given temperature. Ohm derived this relationship
in a simple mathematical form as follows: current
(I), voltage (V), and resistacne (R):
V = IR
This law can be verified by means of the circuit
above. The student can calculate the value of
the resistance by applying a voltage value and
measuring corresponding current value and their
results can be graphed.
