To solve the problem of matching each electric circuit symbol to its corresponding component, let's analyze each symbol step by step:
---
1)
-
Symbol: `---O-O---`
-
Description: This symbol shows a line with two circular gaps in the middle.
-
Component: This represents an
open switch because the gap indicates that the circuit is not connected.
Match: open switch
---
2)
-
Symbol: `-----`
-
Description: This symbol is a straight horizontal line.
-
Component: This represents a
wire, as it shows a continuous path for current flow.
Match: wire
---
3)
-
Symbol: `---[]---`
-
Description: This symbol shows a rectangle or block in the middle of a line.
-
Component: This represents a
fuse, as fuses are typically depicted as rectangular blocks in circuits.
Match: fuse
---
4)
-
Symbol: `---A---`
-
Description: This symbol shows a letter "A" inside a circle.
-
Component: The letter "A" typically represents an
ammeter, which measures current.
Match: ammeter
---
5)
-
Symbol: `---o-o---`
-
Description: This symbol shows a line with a single circular gap in the middle.
-
Component: This represents a
cell (battery), where the circles indicate the positive and negative terminals.
Match: cell
---
6)
-
Symbol: `---X---`
-
Description: This symbol shows a cross ("X") in the middle of a line.
-
Component: This represents a
bulb, as bulbs are often depicted with an "X" shape.
Match: bulb
---
7)
-
Symbol: `---|-|---`
-
Description: This symbol shows two vertical lines separated by a small gap.
-
Component: This represents a
power supply, as it depicts the positive and negative terminals of a battery or power source.
Match: power supply
---
8)
-
Symbol: `---M---`
-
Description: This symbol shows a letter "M" inside a circle.
-
Component: The letter "M" typically represents a
motor.
Match: motor
---
9)
-
Symbol: `---||---`
-
Description: This symbol shows two parallel lines with a zigzag pattern in between.
-
Component: This represents a
buzzer, as buzzers are often depicted with a zigzag pattern.
Match: buzzer
---
10)
-
Symbol: `---V---`
-
Description: This symbol shows a letter "V" inside a circle.
-
Component: The letter "V" typically represents a
voltmeter, which measures voltage.
Match: voltmeter
---
