Teachers Classroom Language

Students, please look at the screen
Can you tell me what is it
Good, its called a power supply
Can you tell me what are the uses of a power
supply
Good, power supply are used to increase or decrease
voltage.

Identify the
symbols of the
different
component

GB 120028

Teacher shows
the picture of
components

So, today we will learn more about power supply.

There are three things that we must know about
power supply.
First we learn about the symbols of the different
components. Then we learn about the function and
operation of these components. Finally we must learn
the components are combined to supply power.
Are you ready now?
Look at the screen.
This is a transformer and its symbol
The next is the diode and its symbol which is similar
to a triangle with a bar in front of it.
The third is the capacitor and its symbol
You have already learned about the resistor and its
symbol.
Lastly, this is Zener Diode. It is similar to the diode
but it has different uses and symbols
Do you remember all these components?
Nizam, can you tell me what is this?
Good. Correct."

Describe the
function and
operation of
component

GB 120028

Teacher explains
the function and
operation of
components.

Next we go to the second concept

Each component has its function and operation.

Teaching
Aids: OHP,
Whiteboard

The Transformer is used to step up and step down

the voltage current that we want.
So, the 240V A.C can be stepped up into 415V A.C
or stepped down into 6V A.C.
Look at the diode.
The Diode is used to change the A.C voltage into
D.C voltage. This change can be seen when you look
at their wave.
Next is the Capacitor. It is used to smoothes the
wave that comes out when we changes A.C to D.C.
Lastly the Resistor and the Diode Zener can be
combined to stabilize the outcome of the voltage.
Stabilization produces the static D.C value that we
need.
Is there any problem? Good.
Combined several
components to
produce a simple
electronic circuit

Teacher shows
the combination
of an electronic
circuit
(power supply)

Students, we have learned the symbols, the function

and the operation of these components.
Lets we see what will happen if we combined the
components together.

Summary of
lesson

GB 120028

Teacher discusses
with students
what happens if
all the
components are
combined
together.

Can you tell me what is this combination?

Teacher
consolidates the
concepts lesson.

Do you need me to repeat that?

Yes, when we combined the entire components

together, it is called power supply.
Let me explain.
Its starts from the Transformer and then the Diode.
After that the Capacitor and lastly the Resistor and
the Zener Diode.

Good, all of you have done well.

For your homework, make notes of this topic in
your sketch book.
For your next lesson, we will learn about the
amplifier circuit. Read your text book page in 85.
Thank you. Thats all for today.
You can go for recess

Teacher will
repeat if
needed.
