C5: Electronics for Kids

Aim:
 To understand how electricity flows in a home and how switches are used to control devices.

Materials Required:

  • A4 sheet

  • Pencil and ruler

  • Colored pens (red and black)

Steps:

  1. Draw a simple floor plan of a house or a single room using a ruler and pencil.

  2. Mark the positions of light bulbs, fans, switches, and plug points (sockets).

  3. Use red lines to show the live wires connecting the switchboard to each device.

  4. Use black lines to show the neutral wires that return back to the power supply.

  5. Clearly mark the switches connected in line with each device (e.g., a switch in between the live wire and a bulb).

Working of the Diagram:

The wiring diagram you created represents how electricity is distributed in a house.

  • It shows how live and neutral wires form a circuit.

  • Switches are placed in the path of the live wire to control the flow of electricity.

  • When the switch is ON, the path is complete and the device works.

  • When the switch is OFF, the circuit is broken and the device turns off.
