Electrical devices are used in assembling basic electrical gadgets. These devices carry, hold, secure, and protect electrical components without conducting electricity themselves. Some key electrical devices mentioned include convenience outlets, male plugs, lamp holders, switches, fuses, circuit breakers, junction boxes, and utility boxes. Each device has a specialized purpose in safely supplying or controlling the flow of electricity in a circuit.

Electrical Devices

2. Electrical devices
are used in the
assembly of basic
electrical gadgets.
These are

3. developed and
constructed for a
special purpose.
These device are
intended just to

4. carry, hold, secure
and protect but not
to utilize electric
current.

6. 1. Convenience
Outlet-acts as
convenient source
of electrical energy
for current

7. consuming devices.
It is where the male
plug is inserted.

9. 2. Male Plug-a
device inserted to a
convenience outlet
to conduct electric
current. A flat cord

10. is attached to it at
one end and the
other end is
connected to a
current consuming.

12. 3. Lamp Holder-
device that hold
and protect the
lamp and are also
called as lamp

13. Socket or receptacle
a. flush type
b. hanging type
c. surface type

15. 4. Switch-a device
that connects and
disconnects the
flow of electric
current in a circuit.

17. 5. Fuse- a circuit
protective device
that automatically
blows and cut the
current when there

18. there is an overload
or short circuit.

20. 6. Circuit Breaker-
device that
automatically cuts
the current when
there is trouble in

21. the circuit such as
short circuit or
overload occurs.

23. 7. Junction Box- an
octagonal shaped
electrical material
where the
connections or

24. joints of wire are
being done, it is
where the flush
type lamp holder is
attached.

26. 8. Utility box- a
rectangular shaped
metallic or plastic
material in which the
outlet and switch are
attached.
