EBX120_Manual_042817 5/17/2017 10:54 AM Page 4 About Electricity 1. What is Electricity? Q: So many things are connected to electricity, such as lamps, TVs, and air conditioners. Can you tell me what electricity is? A: It can be defined as the movement of sub-atomic particles (with their electrical charges) through a material due to an electrical charge outside the material. There are some examples in our daily life, such as lightning and static electricity. 3.
EBX120_Manual_042817 5/17/2017 10:54 AM Page 5 About Electricity 5. What did people do in electricity research? Q: What did people do in electricity research after Miletus’ discovery? 6. Unit of Electricity Q: What is the unit for electricity? A: Dating back to the 18th century, Benjamin Franklin, a famous American scientist, proved that lightning was caused by electricity by describing an experiment in which an electrical conductor would be used to extract power from a thundercloud.
EBX120_Manual_042817 5/17/2017 10:54 AM Page 6 About Electricity 9. What is Current? Q: What is voltage? A: Yeah, good question. Electric current can flow too, but it is totally different from water flow. Electric current is a flow of electric charge. A: Voltage is equal to the work done per unit of charge against a static electric field to move the charge between two points. A voltage may represent either a source of energy (electromotive force), or lost, used, or stored energy (potential drop). 11.
EBX120_Manual_042817 5/17/2017 10:54 AM Page 7 About Electricity 13. Power Supply 14. Switch A power supply is an electronic device that supplies electric energy to an electrical load. The primary function of a power supply is to convert one form of electrical energy to another. There are both DC (direct current) and AC (alternating current) power supplies. Batteries are a type of power supply in which chemical energy is converted into electricity.
EBX120_Manual_042817 5/17/2017 10:54 AM Page 8 About Electricity 17. Circuit 18. Conductor Like flowing water through a pipe, current is flowing through the circuit too. Electric circuits accomplish the transfer of current by connecting to a power supply, switch, and other functional components with wires. It can be mainly defined by series and parallel circuits.

EBX120_Manual_042817 5/17/2017 10:54 AM Page 11 How to Use Your E-Blox® Circuit Builder™ Set E-Blox® Circuit Builder™ parts contain a PC board with connectors so you can build the different electrical and electronic circuits in the projects. Each block has a function: there are switch blocks, a light block, battery block, wire blocks, etc. These blocks are different colors and have numbers on them so that you can easily identify them.
EBX120_Manual_042817 5/17/2017 10:54 AM Page 12 About Your E-Blox® Circuit Builder™ Parts (Part designs are subject to change without notice). The base grid functions like the printed circuit boards found in most electronic products. It is a platform for mounting parts and wire blocks (though the wires are usually “printed” on the board). The blue wire blocks are just wires used to connect other components, they are used to transport electricity and do not affect circuit performance.
EBX120_Manual_042817 5/17/2017 10:54 AM Page 13 More About Your E-Blox® Circuit Builder™ Parts The speaker (93) converts electricity into sound. It does this by using the energy of a changing electrical signal to create mechanical vibtrations (using a coil and magnet similar to that in the motor). These vibrations create variations in air pressure which travel across the room. You “hear” sound when your ears feel these air pressure variations.
EBX120_Manual_042817 5/17/2017 10:54 AM Page 14 DOs and DON’Ts of Building Circuits After building the circuits given in this booklet, you may wish to experiment on your own. Use the projects in this booklet as a guide, as many important design concepts are introduced throughout them. Every circuit will include a power source (the batteries), a resistance (which might be an LED, lamp, motor, integrated circuit, etc.), and wiring paths between them and back.
EBX120_Manual_042817 5/17/2017 10:54 AM Page 15 Examples of SHORT CIRCUITS – NEVER DO THIS! Placing a wire block directly across the battery holder is a SHORT CIRCUIT, indicated by a flashing LED in the battery holder. When the switch (S1) is turned on, this large circuit has a SHORT CIRCUIT path (as shown by the arrows). The short circuit prevents any other portions of the circuit from ever working.
EBX120_Manual_042817 5/17/2017 10:54 AM Page 16 Advanced Troubleshooting (adult supervision recommended) E-Blox® is not responsible for parts damaged due to incorrect wiring. If you suspect you have damaged parts, you can follow this procedure to systematically determine which ones need replacing: 1. Lamp (76), LED (70), Battery Holder (91): Place part directly across the battery holder as shown, it should light.
