People depend on electricity constantly, it is a vital and necessary part of life
but when problems arise, it still requires a professional to address them properly.
This lesson will help you better understand the terminating and connecting
electrical wiring to avoid any challenges in future especially if you are not an electrical
contractor. Knowing the basic components of an electrical system can help you get
things running again.

What is It

Use of Tools
To work with electronic and electrical circuits, a beginner needs to acquire
special hand tools and equipment. Each of these hand tool and equipment does one or
more specific job in connecting, replacing, securing and troubleshooting of electronic
circuits.
In doing so it is better for a beginner to learn first how to use these hand tools
and equipment. And where to use them, before they can start to build or assemble
simple circuit up to complicated ones.
A. Basic Electronic Hand Tools and Equipment
Electronic technicians in olden days could get along with a set of screw drivers, long
nose, side cutter and soldering pencil in troubleshooting. But nowadays, with the
arrival of the new circuit technology and microcircuit is being introduced in the
industry, troubleshooting the problem is very complex. Without the knowledge and aid
of the multitester and other sophisticated equipment such as regulated power supply,
signal generator and oscilloscope, troubleshooting is impossible. Here are the following
basic tools and equipment needed for the repair of electronics devices and appliances.
 Common Tools

1. Long Nose Pliers is used for holding, bending and

stretching the lead of electronics component or
connecting wire

2. Side Cutter is used for cutting or trimming of

connecting wires or terminal leads in the circuit
board.

3. Flat Screw Driver is used to drive or fasten

negative slotted screws.

4. Philips Screw Driver is used to drive or fasten

positive slotted screws.

5. Soldering Pencil is used to join two or more metal

conductors with the support of soldering lead
melted around it.

6. Desoldering Tool is used to join two or more

metal conductors with the support of soldering
lead melted around it

B. Basic Electronic Equipment

1. Volt-ohm-milliammeter is used for measuring

resistance, voltage and current.

2. Power supply is a device which produces simple wave

forms.

3. Electric drill bit

4. Signal generator

Direct Current and Alternating Current 
Direct Current or DC is the first type of current because it was easy to produce.This t
ype of current always flows in one direction. One of the disadvantages of using DC is t
he excessive voltage drop and power loss in the power lines in a long distance transmi
ssion. Batteries are common sources of direct current. 
Alternating Current or AC is the solution to the problem of DC. AC allows the flow of c
urrent in two directions. Today, it is possible to step
up electricity, a power station, transmit it to any distant place and step it down to for 
consumption. A transformer is the device used forstepping‐up or stepping‐down AC vo
ltage. Common sources of AC are found in our AC 
outlet (Typically, 220 volts, in the Philippines).

OHM’S LAW AND POWER LAW 
  Ohm’s  law  states  that,  for  a  constant  current,  the  current  in  a  circuit  is 
directly 
proportional to the total voltage acting in the circuit and inversely proportional to the 
total resistance of the circuit. 

The law may be expressed by the following equation if the current I is in amperes, EM
F E is 
in volts, and the resistance R is in ohms.The relationship of the foregoing three variab
les was discovered by Georg Simon Ohm,  who  theorized  that  current  is  in  direct 
proportion  to 
resistance.The relationship is explained algebraically, using this formula: 

R = E/I E=IxR I = E/R

Resistance Voltage Current

Where: E – EMF in Volts

R – Resistance
I – Current in Amperes

A Simple circuit contains the minimum things needed to have a functioning electric ci
rcuit. A simple circuit requires the following: 
● AC/DC source 
● Equipment that will operate on either an AC or DC power source
 ● Battery‐ A dc voltage source containing two or more cells that convert
chemical energy to electrical energy. 
● Cell‐ Single unit used to convert chemical energy into a DC electrical 
voltage.

FUSE

Once you design a simple circuit on electronics, it is impor
 tant to include a fuse inthe primaryor secondary of a tran
sformer. 
Fuse is a safety device used to protect an electrical circuit 
from the effect of excessive current. Itis essential compone
nt is usually a strip of metal that will melt at
a given temperature. A fuse is so designed that the strip o
f metal can easily be placed in the electric circuit
If the current in the circuit exceed a predetermined value, 
the fusible metal will melt and thus break, or open the circuit. 
● A  fuse  is  usually  rated  in  Amperes,  which  represent  the  maximum 
continuous current it could handle without blowing. 
● Wires and Cable 
● A wire is a single slender rod or filament of drawn metal.The word “slender” is 
used because the length of a wire is usually larg
e when compared to its diameter. If a wire is cove
red with insulation, It is an insulated wire. Altho
ugh the term “wire” properly refers to
the metal, it also includes the
 insulation.  
● A conductor is a wire suitable for
carrying an electric current.  
● A stranded conductor is a conductor composed o
f a group of wire or any combination of group of 
wires. The wires in a stranded conductor are usu
ally twisted together and not insulated from eac
h other.  

● Switch and its function 
● Switch is a device used to break an electric curre
nt or transfer it to another conductor. Switches a
re commonly used to open or close a circuit. Clos
ed is the ON position, while open is OFF position
. Normally, switch is installed Switch function 
● When the switch is closed, the electron finds an i
nterrupted path in the
circuit.Open is the OFF position of the switch, wh
ile closed is the ON position.
 ● When the switch is opened, the current delivered by the power supply is norma
lly insufficient to jump the switch gap in the form of an arc and
the electron flow in the circuit is blocked.
Classifications of Electronic Component  
A. Passive device is one that contributes no power gain (amplification) to a
 circuit or system. It has no control action and does not require any input other than 
a signal to perform its function. In other words,”A component with no brains!"
Examples are Resistors, Capacitors and Inductors. 

1. Resistors is the most common in electronic. It is

used mainly to control current and voltage within the
circuit. You can identify a simple resistor by its simple
cigar shape with lead coming out of each end. It uses a
system of color coded bands to identify the value of the
component (measured in Ohms).

2. Capacitors, or “caps”, vary in size and shape- from

a small surface mount model up to a huge electric
motor cap the size of paint can. Whatever the size or
shape, the purpose is the same. It stores electrical
energy in the electrostatic charge.
3. Inductors are charge with a magnetic field and when
that field collapses it produces current in the opposite
direction. Inductors are used in alternative current
circuits to oppose changes in the existing current.

B. Active Devices are components that are capable of

controlling voltages or currents and can create a
switching action in the circuit. In other words, “Devices with smarts!” Examples are
diodes, transistors and Integrated circuits.
1. Diodes are basically a one –way for electrical current. They let
in one direction (from positive to negative) and not in the other
direction. Most diodes are similar in appearance to a resistor and
will have painted line on one end showing the direction or flow
(white side is negative). If the negative side is on the negative end
of the circuit, current will flow. If the negative is on the positive
side of the circuit no current will flow.
2. Transistor is the most important of this decade. It performs
two basic functions. 1) It acts as a switch turning current on
and off. 2) It acts as an amplifier. This makes an output signal
that is a magnified version of the input signal.
3. Integrated Circuit, Or ICs, are complex circuits inside one simple package. Silicon
and metals are used to simulate resistors, capacitors, transistors, etc. It is a space
saving miracle.
4. LEDS are simply diodes that emit light of one form or
another. They are used as indicator devices. Example LED lit
equals machine on. They come in several sizes and colors.
Some even emit infrared light which cannot be seen by
human eye.
