Laptop Chip Level -volt in section components
Okay, let’s talk about “volts” and how they work inside your electronic devices, like your computer or phone.
Imagine electricity is like water flowing through pipes. “Volts” are like the pressure of that water. A higher voltage means more electrical pressure, and a lower voltage means less.
Inside your devices, different parts need different amounts of electrical pressure to work. It’s like how a big sprinkler needs lots of water pressure, while a tiny water fountain needs very little.
Here’s a simple way to think about it:
- High Voltage:
- Like the water coming out of a fire hydrant.
- Used for things that need a lot of power, like making a bright light or running a motor.
- Low Voltage:
- Like the water coming out of a drinking fountain.
- Used for things that need less power, like the tiny chips inside your computer that do all the thinking.
In your computer, for example:
- The big power supply takes the high voltage from the wall outlet and turns it into lower voltages that the computer’s parts can use.
- The computer’s “brain” (the CPU) and the memory chips need very low voltages to work, so they don’t get too hot.
- Other parts of the computer, like fans or lights, might need slightly higher voltages.
So, “volts” are just a way to measure the electrical pressure that powers all the cool gadgets we use every day!
