How is body language used in presentation in our country? Which gestures are acceptable and which are not?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using different types of equipment?
What are some of the potential problems?
| 1. amplifier | amplifies an electric current – that is, increases the amplitude (wave height) of the current |
| 2. antenna | receives or transmits (sends) radio signals |
| 3. battery | several cells connected together |
| 4. capacitor | consists of two conductors which are separated by a dielectric (insulating) material – allows a certain amount of electrical charge to be stored |
| 5. cell | an electrical storage device, containing chemicals, which supplies a direct current |
| 6. circuit-breaker | a safety device whish automatically switches off a circuit |
| 7. diode | a device with two terminals which allow current to flow in one direction only |
| 8. fuse | a thin conductor which burns and breaks at a certain amperage, to protect a circuit |
| 9. inductor | a coil which is used to produce electromagnetic induction |
| 10. inverter | converts direct current to alternating current |
| 11. lamp | produces light – often an incandescent lamp, which consists of a filament inside a glass bulb |
| 12. potentiometer | a variable resistor with three connections |
| 13. rectifier | converts alternating current to direct current |
| 14. relay | a switch which is operated electrically (not mechanically) |
| 15. resistor | produces a precise amount of resistance |
| 16. rheostat | a variable resistor with |
| 17. speaker / loudspeaker | converts electrical energy to sound energy |
| 18. switch | allows electric current to flow when closed (switched on), and stops current flowing when opened (switched off) |
| 19. transformer | a step-up transformer increases voltage and reduces amperage, and a step-down transformer reduces voltage and increases amperage |
