ELECTRONICS:

The branch of physics and technology

concerned with the design of circuits
using transistors and microchips, and
with the behavior and movement of
electrons in a semiconductor,
conductor, vacuum, or gas.

 Resistors
A resistor is
an electrical
component
that limits the
flow of
electrical
current in an
electronic
circuit.
Resistor Color Coding
 Types of resistors:
Variable Resistors
An electronic
 

component that
is used to vary
the amount of
current that
flows through a
circuit.
 Example of Variable resistors:

Potentiometer Trimmer
Sensors:
Special
Resistors
 Special Resistors
Photo resistors/ LDR Thermistor
 Capacitors
A device used to
store an electric
charge, consisting
of one or more
pairs of
conductors
separated by an
insulator. Used
also for filtering.
 What is a
Capacitance?
- Is a measurement of Electrical
Charge in a Capacitor.
- Measured in
mf- microFARRAD
nf- nanoFARRAD
 Types of Capacitors
1. DC
Capacitors
2. AC
Capacitors
3. Variable
Capacitors
Or the
Polarized and
Non-Polarized
Capacitors
 Electrolytic Capacitors
(Polar capacitor)
An electrolytic
capacitor (e-
cap) is a
polarized
capacitor who
se chemical is
made of
Electrolytic for
charging.
 Ceramic Capacitors
is a non-
polarized
capacitor whos
e chemical is
made of
Ceramic for
charging.
 Mylar Capacitor
is a non-
polarized
capacitor whos
e chemical is
made of Mylar
for charging.
 Polyester Capacitor
is a non-
polarized
capacitor whos
e chemical is
made of Mylar
for charging.
 PVC - Poly Variable Capacitor
 a condenser
 whose
capacitance
may be
varied for
circuit-
tuning or
other
purpose.

 SemiConductor Components
A semiconductor is a
material that is
neither a good
conductor or a good
insulator.

An example of a
semiconductor is
Silicon and
Germanium.
Types of DIODES
 Rectifier DIODE
An
Electronic
Component
that
converts
AC to DC
 Light Emitting Diode
LED. Stands for
"Light-Emitting
Diode." An LED is
an electronic
device that emits
light when an
electrical current is
passed through it.
LED PIN OUT
A Zener diode is a
particular type
of diode that,
unlike a normal
one, allows current
to flow not only
from its anode to
its cathode, but
also in the reverse
direction, when
the Zener  voltage
is reached. Zener
diodes have a
highly doped p-n
junction.
TRANSISTOR - is device that is used for
switching and amplifications.
History of Transistors
Just over sixty years
ago, the world as it was
known then ceased to
exist after the evening
of December 23, 1947. 
For it was then that Mr.
John Bardeen and Mr.
Walter Brattain of Bell
Telephone Laboratories
(BTL) were able to
cause an experimental
device (shown below) to
exhibit 'amplifying'
activity (both to later
become Nobel
Laureates for this feat).
Daily life on the planet
Earth has never been the
same since then.
