Summary

• Description:

  The MS Word document comprises Grade 10 Electricity Term 3 Schemes of Work 2026 - Master Electricity. The PDF version is also available upon your request.

  This downloadable Scheme of Work provides complete instructional planning for Grade 10 Electricity during Term 3 2026. Grounded in the Master Electricity Learner's Book (pages 168–219), the scheme combines theoretical electrical and electronic principles with practical workshop wiring, circuit construction, testing, and component troubleshooting.

  The scheme is organized into the following strands and substrands:

  • Electrical Installation
    • Types of Final Circuits
    • Electrical Symbols and Wiring Diagrams
    • Tools and Materials for Final Circuit Installation
    • Final Circuit Installation, Testing, and Inspection
  • Electronics
    • Characteristics of Semiconductor Materials
    • Doping Process and PN Junction
    • Operation and Connection of Semiconductor Diodes
    • Operation of Semiconductor Transistors

  The topics covered throughout the term include:

  • Electrical Installation: Domestic final circuits (lighting, power sockets, cooker, water heater, bell circuits, radial and ring configurations). Learners practice drawing standard electrical symbols, interpreting schematic, block, and wiring diagrams, selecting insulated tools, preparing bills of materials, mounting components on wooden boards, making secure wiring connections to consumer units, and performing continuity testing and fault inspection prior to energizing.
  • Semiconductor Physics and Doping: Atomic structure of silicon and germanium, covalent bonding in crystal lattices, valence and conduction energy bands, and the energy gap. Learners examine intrinsic vs. extrinsic semiconductors, N-type (pentavalent) and P-type (trivalent) doping, the formation of PN junctions and depletion layers, and construct physical models using plasticine and toothpicks.
  • Semiconductor Diodes: Diode terminals (anode and cathode), forward and reverse biasing, current-voltage (I-V) characteristics (threshold voltage, avalanche breakdown), AC to DC power rectification using full-wave bridge rectifiers, capacitor smoothing, Zener diode voltage regulation, LED display construction, diode switching action, and troubleshooting open and short circuit faults using a digital multimeter.
  • Semiconductor Transistors: Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJT - NPN and PNP construction, terminal identification, current amplification principle, output characteristic curves) and Field Effect Transistors (FET). Learners select transistors for audio amplifiers and digital switches, construct NPN switching circuits on breadboards, and analyze transistor applications in modern electronic systems.

  This downloadable Grade 10 Electricity Term 3 Scheme of Work offers a precise blend of classroom instruction and practical laboratory exercises tailored for the 2026 academic year.
