symbolization A~.
B. Dc or direct current :-has the same characteristics to dc voltage but the difference is
symbolized by A
➡ “Since R=ρL/A, the greater the cross-sectional area, the smaller the
resistance, but the greater the length the higher the resistance
Laws of Resistance
The Resistance ‘R’ offered by a conductor depends upon the following factors
(1) It varies directly as its length (L)
(2) It varies inversely as the cross section (a) of the conductor.
(3) It depends upon the nature of the material
(4) It also depends upon the temperature of the material.
Let us assume R=ρL / a where ρ(Rho) is a constant represents the nature of the
material and is known as specific resistance or resistivity of a material.
:-Ohms law:-states that V=I*R, V= I x R, I=V/ R and R=V/ I
1. Current varies directly with applied voltage
A change in the voltage applied to a circuit will cause the current flowing in the circuit to
change. If the resistance is constant, the current change will follow the pattern of the voltage
change. Doubling the potential difference doubles the current.
2. Current varies inversely with resistance.
Changing the resistance in a circuit will also cause a change in current flow. if the voltage
applied to a circuit is held constant, and the resistance in the circuit is increased. With more
opposition to current flow in the circuit, the circuit current will decrease. On the other hand, if
the resistance is decreased the amount of current flow in the circuit will be increased.
3. The slop of Voltage vs. Current graph is resistance
*the higher the voltage, the larger the current
*the higher the resistance the lower the current
*Wires are zero ohm resistors
Sense that they exhibit no resistance to current flow. Since the wires are perfect,
Ohms law tells us that:
• the voltage at any point on the same wire is the same
• the voltage between any two points on the same wire is zero.
Summary
-Voltage:-is drop of energy
-Current:-is the flow of electrons.
-Resistance:-opposition to current flow.

D. Wire wound :-is made by winding the metal wire around a metal core, metal wire used as
resistance element and metal core is used as the non conductive material. A nichrome or
manganin is commonly used as the metal wires; because of they provide high resistance to
the electric current and operates at the high temperature. Most commonly used core

H. Carbon film:-is colour band or colour code Band .The thickness and width of the carbon
film determines the resistance (the thicker the carbon film, the lower the resistance.
As the dial/wiper turns, electricity must go through more or less of the resistive strip. In series,
the change in resistance means a change in voltage. So as you turn the dial/wiper, you get a
change in voltage.
Variable resistor (Rehostate) :-is use to adjust input voltage 110 and 220,toner,and light
intensity.
For circuits requiring a resistance that can be adjusted while it remains
connected in the circuit (for eg: volume control on radio, contrast adjuster,
lamp intensity adjuster), variable resistors are required. They usually have 3
lead two fixed and one movable.

A capacitor is formed from two conducting plates separated by a thin
insulating layer.If a current i flows, positive change, q, will accumulate on the upper plate. To
preserve charge neutrality, a balancing negative charge
will be present on the lower plate.
Parallel-Plate Capacitor
Consider two metallic plates of equal area A separated by a distance d, as shown in Figure
below. The top plate carries a charge +Q while the bottom plate carries a charge –Q. The
charging of the plates can be accomplished by means of a battery which produces a potential
difference.

*Mica:-is used to filter Ac voltage (blocking of Dc voltages that means remove like hash, spark
and heat) the charge storage can be done by using different types of capacitors. Mica capacitors
are one of them.
Mica capacitors are the stable, reliable and high precision capacitors. These capacitors are
available from low voltages to high voltages. The capacitance values of the mica
capacitors ranging from 20 pF to 10 µF.
Mica capacitors are mostly used in the applications where high accuracy and low capacitance
change over the time is desired. These capacitors can work efficiently at high frequencies.
*Ceramic
● The most commonly used and produced capacitor
● The name comes from the material from which their dielectric is made.
● Small size both physically and capacitance wise.
● Don’t normally go up to 10µF even.
● Has lower ESR and leakage currents than electrolytic caps. Cheapest type.
ceramic capacitor is a fixed-value capacitor where the ceramic material acts as the dielectric.
It is constructed of two or more alternating layers of ceramic and a metal layer acting as
the electrodes. The composition of the ceramic material defines the electrical behaviour and
therefore applications. Ceramic capacitors are divided into two application classes:
H. Class 1 ceramic 0 offer high stability and low losses for resonant circuit applications.
I. Class 2 ceramic capacitors offer high volumetric efficiency for buffer, by-pass, and coupling
applications.
*Paper sheet:- is used to filter Ac voltage and is made by taking two or more aluminum sheets
and placing a paper sheet between them. The paper placed between the aluminum sheets acts as
dielectric and the aluminum sheets acts as electrodes
*Disktype:-is used to filter Ac voltages.
Ceramic disc capacitors are made by coating a ceramic disc with silver contacts on both sides
as shown above illustrates. Ceramic disc capacitors have a capacitance value about 10pF to
100μF with a wide variety of voltage ratings, between 16V to 15 KV and more. In order to gain
higher capacitances, these devices can be made from multiple layers. The MLCCs are made
with Para electric and Ferro electric materials mix and alternatively layered with metal
contacts. After completion of the layering process, the device is brought to a high temperature
and the mixture is sintered, resulting in a ceramic material of desired properties. Finally, the
resulting capacitor basically consists of many smaller capacitors connected in parallel, this
leads to increase in capacitance.
The MLCCs consist of more than 500 layers, with the minimum layer thickness of approximately
0.5 microns. As technology progresses, the thickness of the layer decreases and capacitance
increases in the same volume.
Ceramic capacitor dielectrics vary from one manufacturer to another, but common compounds
include titanium dioxide, Strontium Titanate, and Barium Titanate.
Based on the working temperature range, temperature drift, tolerance different ceramic
capacitor classes is defined.
Ceramic disc capacitors have a capacitance value about10pF to 100μF with a wide variety of
voltage ratings, between 16V to 15
KV and more.

3.1.3 Inductor:-is a coil used to remove variation of current.
Inductance
Is A current generated in a conductor by a changing magnetic field is proportional to the rate of
change of the magnetic field. This effect is called INDUCTANCE and is given the symbol L. It is
measured in units called the henry (H) named after the American Physicist Joseph Henry (1797-
1878)
Factors Affecting Inductance.
The amount of inductance in an inductor is dependant on:
* The number of turns of wire in the inductor.
* The material of the core.
* The shape and size of the core.
* The shape, size and arrangement of the wire making up the coils.
-There are two types:-
*Fixed vales:-they have constant inductance values.
*Variable values:-they have variable inductance values.

The values given above are what may be termed the "static" values of permittivity. They are true
for steady state or low frequencies. It is found that the permittivity of a material usually
decreases with increasing frequency. It also falls with increasing temperature. These factors are
normally taken into account when designing a capacitor for electronics applications.
When the design of a capacitor is undertaken the characteristics of the dielectric form one of the
main decisions about the capacitor. Some materials have a very stable dielectric constant and can
be used in high stability capacitors, whereas other dielectric materials enable very high levels of
volumetric capacitance to be achieved, i.e. high levels of capacitance in a small volume.
Normally there is a balance as no single dielectric has ideal characteristics for everything
