4.2 Voltage sources

Slide 1 - Slide

Voltage sources


    A small battery supplies about 1.5 volts
    An electrical outlet supplies about 230 volts
    An (electric) train runs on 1500 volts


    Slide 2 - Slide

    Voltage source
                                   A battery always states what voltages it supplies.

    A battery supplies electrical energy. 
    The current tells you how many charged particles flow past every second.
    The voltage tells you how much electrical energy each particle is carrying.

    Slide 3 - Slide

    Fig. 14
    You can compare the transport of electrical energy to the transport of petrol.
    Current = trucks
    Voltage = petrol

    Or a central heating
    current = water, voltage = heath

    Slide 4 - Slide

    Connecting batteries
    If you connect batteries in series (behind each other), you can add their voltages together.

    Slide 5 - Slide

    Slide 6 - Link

    Voltages
    mains voltage = 230 V

    Safe voltages = voltages untill 24 V

    You can convert the mains voltage with a transformer.
