介绍:
49. Switch开关 [00:02.04]An electric switch is often on a wall [00:05.37]near the door of a room. [00:06.95]Two wires lead to the lamp in the room. [00:10.12]The switch is fixed in one of them. [00:12.85]The switch can cause a break in this wire, [00:15.53]and then the light goes. [00:17.39]The switch can also join the two parts of the wire again, [00:20.80]then we get a light. [00:22.35]Switch can control many different things. [00:26.13]Small switches control lamps and radio sets [00:29.49]because these do not take a large current, [00:32.53]larger switches control electric fires. [00:35.41]Other switches can control electric motors. [00:39.19]Good switches move quickly. [00:42.09]They have to stop the current suddenly. [00:44.86]If they move slowly, an electric spark appears. [00:48.71]It jumps across the space [00:50.74]between the two ends of the wire. [00:52.78]This is unsafe and it heats the switch. [00:56.03]Very big switches are sometimes placed in oil. [01:00.68]Sparks do not easily jump through oil, [01:04.01]so the oil makes the switch safer.
