1st week

Electronics - branch of science and technology that deals with the behaviour, control, and
movement of electrons in various devices and systems. It involves the design, development,
and application of circuits and components used in devices like computers etc.

Basic Electrical Units and Definition

1) Passive - capable of operating without an external power source

Resistors, capacitors, inductors and diodes

2) Active - requires source of power to operate\

Transistors, Integrated circuits

Opportunities In Electronics
