Principle
The students should recognise that a diode acts as an electrical valve. The teacher has to decide, according to the situation, whether an explanation is to be given for this action with the help of a model of the electrical processes within the components, or if this action is merely to be established.
Benefits
- No additional cable connections between the building blocks needed - clear arragned and quick setup
- Contact saftey due to puzzle blocks system
- Corrosion-free gold plated contacts
- Doubled earning sucess: Electric circuit diagram on top, real components can be seen unterside
Tasks
How does a diode function in a direct current circuit?
Investigate what happens when a diode is connected in series with a filament lamp in a direct current circuit.
