DEFINITION OF TERMS

Anode - a positive electrode of semiconductor device

Capacitance - a property that exists whenever two conductors
are separated by insulating material, permitting the storage of
electricity
Capacitor - a component designed intentionally to have a definite
amount of capacitance
Circuit - an arrangement of one or more complete paths of
electron flow.
 Conductor - a wire, cable, or other body or medium that is
suitable for carrying electric current
Current - the rate of transfer of electricity from one point to
another
Desoldering - a process of unsoldering unwanted parts or
components in the circuit with the support of a soldering tool
Dielectric material - a material that serves as insulator because
it has poor electric conductivity
Direct current - an electric current that flows in one direction
Discrete components- separated or individual components
 Electronics - a branch of science and technology that deals with
the controlled flow of electrons
Hazards - risks; dangers
Malfunction - not in normal operating condition
Ohmmeter - an instrument that measures the amount of
resistance in certain component or circuits
Resistance - the opposition that a component or material offers
to the flow current
Resistor a component designed intentionally to have a definite
amount of resistance
Soldering - a process of joining two metals caused by heat
 Soldering technique - a strategy in which the solder (lead) is
being applied in a connection or in the printed circuit board
Splicing connecting two lengths of conductor
Technician - a person skilled in mechanical or industrial
techniques or in a particular technical field
Tool kit - a small bag or box equipped with hand tools
Troubleshooting - identifying and repairing faults in equipment
Voltage - the electrical pressure that exist between two points
and capable of producing a flow of current when a close circuit is
connected between the points.
Voltmeter - an instrument that measures the amount of
electromotive force in a component or circuit.
