Physics iGCSE - Mains Electricity (BGS Year 10)

?
What colour is the neutral wire?
Blue
1 of 10
How does a fuse work?
When the current is higher than the fuse rating (in Amps), the fuse melts
2 of 10
An Earth wire is important because
it creates an alternate path for the current if the live wire touches the metal casing
3 of 10
The power switch on an electrical device should always be
in the live wire
4 of 10
Products don't need an Earth wire if
they don't have a metal casing
5 of 10
Electrical power is measured in
watts
6 of 10
The equation for electrical power is
P = I x V
7 of 10
Electrical energy is measured in
joules
8 of 10
The energy 'used' by an electrical device can be calculated using
Energy (joules) = Power (watts) x Time (secs)
9 of 10
The voltage of all mains devices in the UK is
230 V
