Introduction lesson: understanding electrical systems

Design and technology

Control technology is a component used in electrical products.

Control technology is an innovative way to present a product.

Control technology is the use of microprocessors that are used to programme and control how an electrical system will work.

Can you identify products from below that include the use of control technology? (Tick 2 boxes)

An object or material that is an electrical insulator is one that allows the flow of electrical current to pass through it in all directions.

An object or material that is an electrical insulator is one that creates electricity and power that object or material.

An object or material that is an electrical insulator is one that stops the flow of an electrical current.

What is meant by the term electrical insulator?

Component/action in order to get the circuit working.

The component/action that will be activated after process.

Transfer of power from input to output, action taking place between the input and output to make output work.

What is an input on an electrical system?

What key component did we use to make a circuit for a product that needs to move?
