AQA Modular Science - Electricity

The new version of this module contains one or two minor changes:

The circuit breaker - they seem to want to go into great detail about
this, does anyone know if there are large scale demo models available
from anywhere?

In static electricity, they have introduced the inkjet printer as an
example of the use of static electricity. Can anyone point me in the
direction of a simple, pupil friendly diagram ?

Thanks,

Mark Kemball.

The CGP workbook has a sheet (p78) on inkjet printers which does the job
well and for the circuit breaker the only thing I have found is in
Physics for You. I hope this helps

How stuff works http://www.howstuffworks.com is usually a good source of
info , diagrams and animations for this sort of thing

BTW - do modern inkjets actually use static electricity ?

Mr Kemball,
In response to your request here is the address of 1 pupil freindly diagram for static electricity in relation to printers. Sadly this is focused on laser rather than inkjet but some of the same principals should apply :
