ELECTRICAL
GADGETS AND
THEIR USES
Lesson 4
• Electrical gadgets are composed of materials that are classified as conductor or non-
conductor of electricity.
1. CONDUCTORS are materials used in the assemble of electrical gadgets where
electrons flow. Some examples of conductors are electrical wire and any metal.
2. NON-CONDUCTOR is a material which electricity cannot pass through. Another
term for nonconductor is insulator, which means any material that is poor conductor of
heat or electricity. Dry rubber and dry wood are the examples of nonconductor.
THESE ARE THE
EXAMPLES OF SIMPLE
GADGETS AND THEIR
USES
PLUG
It is the structure at the end of appliance that receives
electricity.
1. A TWO-PRONG PLUG is typically used or

ungrounded appliances like lampshade which has
less than 15 amperes capacity.
2. A THREE-PRONG PLUG includes one round

prong, one hot prong and one neutral prong. The
round prong is for grounding and ensuring that the
hot and neutral prongs are inserted into correct
receptacles slots.
ELECTRICAL OUTLET
A receptacle providing a place a

wiring system where current can be
taken to run electrical devices.
EXTENSION CORD
It is also called power extender.

It is a flexible power cable that
can
reach long–distance
connections.
DOORBELL
It is an electrical device that is

placed beside the door or gate
of a house
or building.
LAMPSHADE
It is a light bulb with different watts,

structure, shape, and design. It comes
in different models and appearance but
most of the time it has an umbrella-like
structure. This is usually placed on top
of the bedside table. By using
shade, the illumination is contained in a
particular area.
ASSEMBLING AN
EXTENSION CORD
MATERIALS
1. Wire
2. An outlet
3. A plug
4. Side cutter pliers
5. Screwdriver
Procedure
1. Open and remove the screw of the outlet using a screwdriver.

2. Remove a notch at the end of wire, slightly twist the copper wire clockwise
and bend the copper wire in curve shape.
3. Loosen the screw connected in copper inside the outlet.
4. Place it in-between the copper wire and the screw.
5. Tighten the screw.
6. Do the same procedure on the other side.
7. Cover the outlet and tighten the screw
8. Loosen the screw connected to the prong.
9. Remove a notch, Bend the copper wire in curve shape and place it in between
the prong and the screw. Tighten the screw.
10.Cover the plug and tighten the screw.
ASSEMBLING A
DOORBELL
MATERIALS
1. buzzer
2. plug
3. push button
4. wire
5. Philip screwdriver
6. side cutter
7. electrical tape
PROCEDURE
Connect the wire using the diagram below. Make sure that the line L and
line N will not intersect with each other to avoid short circuit.

MAKING
GADGETS
Lesson 5
Do you believe that
“HEALTH IS WEALTH”?
Why do you think so? Explain.
In working with electrical gadgets, each item has different
specification. This specification serves as your guide before working
on electrical gadgets. It is important to understand and be familiar
with
safety practices while working with electricity. Any wrong move can
harm you, and worst, may cause death.
Safety and Health Practices
Working with electrical gadgets can be an interesting activity in developing your working habit and skills. It
can be an enjoyable undertaking if the following practices are followed…
1. Working with gadget connected to electricity such as appliances at home requires wearing of safety
gloves also known as electrical gloves.
2. Gadgets connected with a capacitor stored energy even not connected to an electrical source. Storing
these types of gadgets away from the reach of children is highly advised. Do not touch or play with
electrical devices that have stored energy for these may cause electrical shock.
3. Before doing your work or repair activities, be sure that you turn off and unplug the device, gadget, or
appliance.
4. Make sure that your workplace is organized and clean. A clean workplace is conducive to learning and
developing skills.
5. Avoid standing on floors that are wet as it may cause you harm or accident.
6. Wipe and dry all spillage before starting to work.
7. See to it that all metal accessories on our body are removed before starting to work.
8. Never touch someone else’s work. You may not know the condition of our classmate’s work if it is
energized or not.
Protocol On Repairing Electrical Gadgets
In repairing an electrical gadget, you need to analyze first the possible trouble or problem that
needs repair or replacement before you start the necessary task. In order to make your work
enjoyable and effective, follow the simple protocols listed below…
1. Before working with electricity, always ask for assistance from your teacher if you are in
school or an elderly if you are at home for proper guidelines.
2. Different gadgets have different specifications. Always use the tools needed for the job
according to their function and purpose.
3. Always use tools that are insulated to prevent shock while working with electricity.
4. Worn out electrical materials should not be used in any connection for they may cause trouble
to the gadget connections.
5. To avoid electrical shock, always use tools that are dry while working with an electrical gadget.
6. Always follow the procedures and specifications in repairing electrical gadgets. Some electrical
tool, such as electrical pliers, are sensitive to heat. The insulator of the pliers may be affected
by overexposure to heat.
