Electronics Components:
Active components:
Transistors :
• Important semiconductor device that has the ability to amplify the weak
signals.
• In digital electronics and computer field it is used as switch.
• Made up of solid semiconductor material with at least three terminals.
Integrated Circuits :
Also called as micro chip, silicon chip, chip or IC.
It is fabricated with millions of resistors, capacitors, transistors etc.
• It can be used as amplifier, counter, oscillator, memory, microprocessor
etc.
Gates :
• Logical circuit with one or more input signal, but only one output signal.
• Circuit which works on input and output signals are of two states logic 0
and logic 1.
• Logic 0 represents as low voltage and logic 1 as high voltage.
• Types of gates are AND, OR, NOT, NAND etc.
Passive components:
Resistors :
• An electrical device that reduces the flow of electric current in the
circuit.
• Allows us to control the current.
• Resistors are in different shapes and sizes.
• Resistors dissipiates heat from it.
Capacitors :
• Capacitor is used to store charge.
• It contains two metal plates separated by thin sheet of insulating material.
• There are variety of sizes and types of capacitors.
Inductors :
• Is essentially conducting coil of wire wounded on core material.
• When an electric current flows through the inductor, a magnetic field is
generated.
• This magnetic energy is stored in the inductor, until the current flow
through it.
Diodes :
• Allow flow of current in one direction and block flow of current in
opposite direction.
• Made up of semiconducting materials, silicon or germanium.
• Contains two electrodes called anode and cathode.
• Use to measure the current, voltage, resistance, impedance, power etc.
Digital multimeter:
• It can measure voltage, resistance, current, impedance, capacitance,
frequency etc.
• It uses LCD display to show exact reading values.
• Allows you to select the function you want to measure.
• Compact and handy.
• It is simplest and cheapest measuring instrument.
• Some instruments have auto power off function
Oscilloscope:
• Displays a graph of varying voltage against time.
• Waveform shapes tells you the changes in the signal.
• Signal to be measured is fed through input connector.
• Display panel consists of CRT tube or LCD.
• Modern oscilloscopes are light weight and portable.
• A medical researcher uses an oscilloscope to measure brain waves.
Function generators:
• Use to generate patterns of voltage against variety of amplitudes and
frequencies.
• Allows users to choose the shape of patterns like sine, square, triangle
etc.
• Generally used in testing and repairing electronic components.
Required Components:
1) Ossciliscope
2) Digital Multimeter
