C5: Electronics for Kids
  1. Electric Flow in Homes:
    Electricity enters your home from a main power line, usually through a main switchboard. From there, it travels through hidden wires in the walls to reach all the rooms and electrical devices.

  2. Role of Switches, Wires, and Sockets:

    • A switch is a device that can open or close a circuit, turning electrical devices on or off.

    • A wire is a conductor that allows electricity to flow between components.

    • A socket (plug point) allows electrical appliances to be connected to the power supply.

  3. Basic Home Electrical Layout:
    The electrical layout of a home is like a map that shows how wires connect the main power source to lights, fans, and other devices. This layout includes:

    • Live wire (red): carries electricity to the device
    • Neutral wire (black): completes the circuit by returning current back
