Lesson1 Knowing the Electronic Components
There are a large number of symbols which represent an equally large range of electronic components.It is important that you can recognize the more common components and understand what they actually do.A number of these components are drawn below and it is interesting to note that often there is more than one symbol representing the same type of component.
Resistors
Resistors restrict the flow of electric current,for example a resistor is placed in series with a light-emitting diode(LED)to limit the current passing through the LED.Fig.1-1 shows resistor example and circuit symbol.Fig.1-1 Resistor Example and Circuit Symbol
Resistors may be connected either way round.They are not damaged by heat when soldering.
Capacitors
Capacitors store electric charge.They are often used in filter circuits because capacitors easily pass AC(changing)signals but they block DC(constant)signals.Fig.1-2 shows capacitor examples and circuit symbol.Fig.1-2 Capacitor Examples and Circuit Symbol
Inductor
An inductor is a passive electronic component that stores energy in the form of a magnetic field.An inductor is a coil of wire with many windings,often wound around a core made of a magnetic material,like iron.Fig.1-3 shows inductor examples and circuit symbol.Fig.1-3 Inductor Examples and Circuit Symbol
Diodes
Diodes allow electricity to flow in only one direction.The arrow of the circuit symbol shows the direction in which the current can flow.Diodes are the electrical version of a valve and early diodes were actually called valves.Fig.1-4 shows diode examples and circuit symbol.Fig.1-4 Diode Examples and Circuit Symbol
Transistors
There are two types of standard transistors,NPN and PNP,with different circuit symbols.The letters refer to the layers of semiconductor material used to make the transistor.Fig.1-5 shows transistors examples and circuit symbol.Fig.1-5 Transistors Examples and Circuit Symbol
Integrated Circuits(Chips)
Integrated Circuits are usually called ICs or chips.They are complex circuits which have been etched onto tiny chips of semiconductor(silicon).The chip is packaged in a plastic holder with pins spaced on a 0.1"(2.54mm)grid which will fit the holes on stripboard and breadboards.Very fine wires inside the package link the chip to the pins.Fig.1-6 shows Integrated Circuits example.Fig.1-6 Integrated Circuits Example
Light Emitting Diodes(LEDs)
LEDs emit light when an electric current passes through them.LEDs must be connected the correct way round,the diagram may be labelled “a” or “+” for anode and “k” or “-“ for cathode(yes,it really is “k”,not “c”,for cathode!).The cathode is the short lead and there may be a slight flat on the body of round LEDs.Fig.1-7 shows LED examples and circuit symbol.

Lesson2 Current,Voltage and Resistance
The flow of electrons through a conductor is called a current.Current flow is represented by the letter symbol I.The basic unit in which current is measured is the ampere(amp).One ampere of current is defined as the movement of one coulomb(6.28·1810electrons)past any point of a conductor during one second of time.
When it is desirable to express a magnitude of current smaller than the ampere,the milliampere(mA)and the microampere(μA)units are used.One milliampere is equivalent to one-thousandth(0.001)of an ampere,and one microampere is equivalent to one-millionth(0.000001)of an ampere.
The term voltage(represented by the letter symbol V)is commonly used to indicate both a difference in potential and an electromotive force.The unit in which voltage is measured is the volt.One volt is defined as that magnitude of electromotive force required cause a current of one ampere to pass through a conductor having a resistance of one ohm.
A magnitude of voltage less than one volt is expressed in terms of millivolts(mV)or microvolts(μV).Larger magnitudes of voltage are expressed in kilovolts(kV).One kilovolt equals one thousand volts.
The opposition to current is called electrical resistance and is represented by the letter symbol R.The unit of resistance is the ohm,a term that is often expressed by using Ω.One ohm is defined as that amount of resistance that will limit the current in a conductor is one ampere when the voltage applied to the conductor is one volt.Larger amounts of resistance are commonly expressed in kiloohm(kΩ)and in megohm(MΩ ).
The relationship between volts,amperes,and ohms can be represented by“ O hm’s Law”.Ohm’s Law states that the ratio of the voltage between the ends of a wire and the current flowing in it is equal to the resistance of the wire.Now,we can say that when a given voltage is applied across the ends of the wire,an electric current always flows along it,and the value of this current depends on the resistance of wire(as shown in Fig.2-1).Fig.2-1 Current,Voltage and Resistance

Lesson3 AC,DC and Electrical Signals
Alternating Current(AC)
Alternating Current(AC)flows one way,then the other way,continually reversing direction（as shown in Fig.3-1 and Fig.3-2）.An AC voltage is continually changing between positive(+)and negative(−).The rate of changing direction is called the frequency of the AC and it is measured in hertz(Hz)which is the number of forwards-backwards cycles per second.Fig.3-1 AC from a Power Supply:This shape is called a sine waveFig.3-2 This triangular signal is AC because it changes between positive(+)and negative(−)
An AC supply is suitable for powering some devices such as lamps and heaters but almost all electronic circuits require a steady DC supply.
Direct Current(DC)
Direct Current(DC)always flows in the same direction,but it may increase and decrease.A DC voltage is always positive(or always negative),but it may increase and decrease.Electronic circuits normally require a steady DC supply which is constant at one value（as shown in Fig.3-3）.Cells,batteries and regulated power supplies provide steady DC which is ideal for electronic circuits.Lamps,heaters and motors will work with any DC supply.Fig.3-3 Steady DC:from a battery or regulated power supply,this is ideal for electronic circuits
Properties of Electrical Signals
An electrical signal is a voltage or current which conveys information,usually it means a voltage.The term can be used for any voltage or current in a circuit.
The voltage-time graph on the Fig.3-4 shows various properties of an electrical signal.In addition to the properties labeled on the graph,there is frequency which is the number of cycles per second.The diagram shows a sine wave but these properties apply to any signal with a constant shape.Fig.3-4 Properties of Electrical Signals
Amplitude is the maximum voltage reached by the signal.It is measured in volts,V.
Peak voltage is another name for amplitude.
Peak-peak voltage is twice the peak voltage(amplitude).When reading an oscilloscope trace it is usual to measure peak-peak voltage.
Time period is the time taken for the signal to complete one cycle.It is measured in seconds(s),but time periods tend to be short so milliseconds(ms)and microseconds(µs)are often used.1ms=0.001s and 1µs=0.000001s.
Frequency is the number of cycles per second.It is measured in hertz(Hz),but frequencies tend to be high so kilohertz(kHz)and megahertz(MHz)are often used.1kHz=1000Hz and 1MHz=1000000Hz.Frequency=1/time period and time period=1/frequency.
Another value used is the effective value of AC.This is the value of alternating voltage or current that will have the same effect on a resistance as a comparable value of direct voltage or current will have on the same resistance.
