Domestic Electric Circuit Class 10

Domestic Electric Circuits Made Easy!

Domestic electric circuits are electrical systems designed for use in homes or residential buildings. These circuits are responsible for distributing electrical power to various appliances, lights, and other electrical devices within the household. Understanding the basic components of domestic electric circuits is crucial for ensuring safety and proper functioning.

1. Main Switch: The main switch is a crucial component of the electrical distribution board (or fuse box) in a home. It is used to disconnect the entire electrical supply to the house. In case of an emergency or when performing maintenance, the main switch can be turned off to cut off power to the entire household.

2. Earthing: Earthing is a safety measure that involves connecting the electrical system to the ground to prevent electric shocks and protect appliances and individuals from faults. The earth wire is connected to metal parts of electrical appliances and the ground to ensure that any leakage of current is safely directed into the ground.

3. Types of Wires:
- Live Wire (Phase): The live wire carries the current from the power source to the electrical appliances. It is often color-coded with brown insulation in many countries.

- Neutral Wire: The neutral wire completes the electrical circuit and carries the current back to the power source (generally a power station). It is color-coded with blue insulation in many countries.

- Earth Wire (Ground): The earth wire is a safety feature that provides a path for the current to flow into the ground in the event of a fault. It is usually color-coded with green and yellow stripes.

In a standard electrical outlet or socket, you'll find three slots:
- The live wire is connected to the right slot.
- The neutral wire is connected to the left slot.
- The earth wire is connected to the bottom, or it may be connected to the metal casing of the outlet.

Proper installation and maintenance of these components are crucial for the safe and efficient operation of domestic electric circuits. Always consult with a qualified electrician if you have any concerns or need assistance with electrical work in your home.

You are literally born to be a teacher. I have never seen a teacher like you before in my life. I wish I had known you back then, when I was in university. I was not into the computational side of science, but I was really into the concepts and foundational principles of science. You know, I strongly believe that students should understand what the science is before rushing into the calculations. Doing calculations by cramming but not understanding the science behind them is, I think, spending one's precious time on a worthless game. I am grateful to you for creating those state-of-the art lessons digitally for this awesome generation of our era. much love from Ethiopia, Africa.

Sir what happens when we plug 3 pin in a multiplug . There is no connection with earth because the multiplug is two pin.

[mikaylaemberlalic]

Sir you taught me more than my teacher. The lessons that she tried to teach us within 3 months, I learned it all from you one night before the final examinations 😭

[HarryPotter-necr]

helo so there are new colours for live, neutral, earth so if it comes for board exam like which wire used for live wire and there are options: a.red, b. brown which option shud wechhose

Sir what is meam by Ampere hour plz reply

[patriciakaingu]

What do you mean by saying the metal casing is live

[GuthyappaGuthyappacouter]

This video was useful to me 😊 thankyou sir 🎉

[KhanBaba-cpb]

Sir please make video on conduction, convection and radiation

[machuocmapuor]

You turned out to be electrician this time. I like the video ❤

[sdas]

1:28
To minimise I, voltage is increased!!!
Not cleared..😢

[gunupurusaraswathi]

What is mean't by ampere I didn't know can you explain in a video

[tesfahungetahunargachew]

Tnx a lot for all your effert to help us furthermore about induction motor
