What are the functions of a) Reflector b)Slide switch c) Electric cell and d) Plastic casting in a torch?
Answers
A) A reflector is a region of unfueled material surrounding the core. Its function is to scatter neutrons that leak from the core, thereby returning some of them back into the core.
B) A slide switch is a mechanical switch that slides from the open (off) position to the closed (on) position and allows control of a circuit's current flow without having to manually splice or cut wire.
C) An electric cell is a device, which converts chemical energy into electrical energy. It has two terminals, which are made up of metal: one terminal is positive, while the other one is negative. When the two terminals are connected to an electrical device, electric current flows through it.
D) The purpose of plastic casting in the torch is to cover the circuit to get current.
Reflector redirects light rays making a light beam, sliding switch completes the current, electric cell provides the energy for the bulb to glow and plastic casting cover the circuit and allow current to flow.
Explanation:
- Reflector a glittering aluminum-coated plastic device that sits around the lamp (light bulb) and redirects light rays making a light beam which is continuous ,that is the light appearing from flashlight.
- The torch's sliding switch's goal is to complete the current.Slide switches are mechanical switches that use a slider to move from an open (off) to a closed (on) position. They make it possible to control current flow in a circuit without having to manually cut or splice wire.
- An electric cell or a dry cell provides the energy for the bulb to glow and warm up. Consider how this electrical energy is delivered to the torch's bulb.
- In the torch, plastic casting is used to cover the circuit and allow current to flow.
