BASIC ELECTRICITY
Electricity is the flow of electrons. All matter is
made up of atoms, and an atom has a center, called a
nucleus. The nucleus contains positively charged particles
called protons and uncharged particles called neutrons.
The nucleus of an atom is surrounded by negatively
charged particles called electrons.
Conductors versus Insulators
 Conductors are metallic, poor insulators and substances that permits the free
motion of electrons like copper, aluminum, steel or any metal.
 Insulators are non-metallic, used to hold conductors in place and are
substances that do not allow electric current to pass readily in its body. Plastic,
rubber, glass, cloth and wood are classified as insulators.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF FORM
Correctness of the entries in different forms used in electrical work is necessary
in order to acquire right, complete, and accurate number of materials and tools
needed for a specific electrical job. Here are samples of different forms used in
electrical work.
1. Purchase Requisition is a document generated by a user department or
storeroom personnel to notify the purchasing department about items it needs
to order, their quantity, and the time frame. It may also contain the
authorization to proceed with the purchase. This is also called purchase
request or requisition. If any items listed on the form are not in stock, another
copy may go to the purchasing department so they can create a purchase
requisition and purchase order to obtain the necessary materials.

2. Inventory Form is a documentation used to check the status of materials and


stock so that production should not suffer at the time of customers demand.
To avoid both overstocking and under-stocking of inventory. To maintain the
availability of materials whenever and wherever required in enough quantity.
3. Job Order or Work Order Form is a written instruction to perform a task
according to specified requirements, time frame, and cost estimates. A work
order is usually a task or a job for a customer that can be scheduled or
assigned to someone. Such an order may be from a customer request or created
internally within the organization. Work orders may also be created as follow
ups to Inspections or Audits. A work order may be for products or services.
4. Borrower’s Form is a form used to request for tools and equipment needed for
a particular job. It indicates the department the borrower is connected, with
the date, the job that is to be done, the person who will approve the request,
when it was returned, and if it was in good condition.

INFORMATION SHEET 2-1


COMMON ELECTRICAL SYMBOLS
Electrical Symbols are small drawings or pictograms used to represent various
electrical devices in a diagram or plan of an electrical circuit. These symbols are
used in sketching schematic diagrams and electrical plans for numerous types of
electrical works.
ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT SYMBOLS

DC Voltage AC Voltage Battery

ELECTRICAL SIGNS
Your power tool with its manual may contain "Warning Icons." A warning icon
in a picture symbol intended to alert you, and/or to instruct you how to avoid a
potentially hazardous condition. Knowing and understanding these symbols will help
you operate your tools better and more safely.
Electrical signs and stickers alert students, workers, and visitors to electrical
hazards in the area. Alerting workers to high voltage areas, electrical hazards, power
lines and other electrical equipment in the area can help prevent fires and injuries.
Proper electrical signs can inform workers of the dangers in the area.

INFORMATION SHEET 2-2


ELECTRICAL WIRING DIAGRAM
The flow of current in a conductor or wire can be represented in a diagram.
Electricians use different types of drawings or diagrams to represent a certain
electrical system or circuit. These circuits are represented by lines to represent wires
and symbols or icons to represent electrical devices. It helps in better understanding
the connection between different components.
There are two types of diagrams: pictorial diagram and schematic diagram.

A. Pictorial diagram is a sketch of


electrical circuit that shows the external
appearance of each component. It is
much like a photograph of the circuit and
uses simple images of parts.

B. Schematic diagram is a sketch


showing the components of the circuit
using standard electrical symbols. It
shows the actual number of components
and how the wiring is routed but not the
actual location.

TYPES OF CIRCUIT
An electrical circuit is a path or line through which an electrical current flows.
Every electric circuit, regardless of where it is or how large or small it is, has four
basic parts: an energy source (AC or DC), a conductor (wire), an electrical load
(device), and at least one controller (switch). Below are the two types of an electrical
circuit.

A. Series Circuit is a circuit in which lamps


are arranged in a chain, so that the current
has only one path to take. The current that
flows through each of the components is the
same, and the voltage across the circuit is the
sum of the individual voltage drops across
each component.

B. Parallel Circuit is a circuit in which


lamps are connected across the wires. The
voltage across each load on a parallel circuit
is the same. The advantage of using parallel
circuit is that even if one of the lamps fails,
the remaining lamps will still function.

BASIC ELECTRONICS
What is Electronics?
Electronics is the branch of science that deals with the study of flow and
control of electrons using semiconductor devices.
Electronic Components
Electronic components are any basic discrete devices or physical entities in an
electronic system used to affect electrons or their associated fields. They have a
number of electrical terminals or leads. These leads connect to other electrical
components, often over wire, to create an electronic circuit with a particular function).
Electronic components are classified into two, passive or active components.
Passive Components
- are electronic components which can only receive energy, which it can either
dissipate, absorb or store it in an electric field or a magnetic field. As the name
‘passive’ suggests – passive devices do not provide gain or amplification.
Resistors
- are components that resist the flow of current.
Resistors are one of the most basic components used in
electronic circuits. Resistors come in a variety of resistance
values (how much they resist current), measured in unit called
Ohms and designated by the symbol Ω and power ratings.
Capacitors
- are devices that can temporarily store an electric
charge. The amount of capacitance of a given capacitor is
usually measured in microfarads, abbreviated μF.
Inductors or Coils
- are passive components that store energy in form of
a magnetic field. An inductor simply consists of a coil of wire
wound around some kind of core.
Diodes
- are devices that let current flow in only one direction.
A diode has two terminals, called the anode and the cathode.
Active Components
- are devices that can amplify an electric signal and produce power. They
supply energy to a circuit.
Transistors
- are three-terminal devices in which a voltage applied to
one of the terminals (called the base) can control current that
flows across the other two terminals.
Integrated Circuits (IC)
- are special components that contain an entire electronic
circuit, complete with transistors, diodes, and other elements,
all photographically etched onto a tiny piece of silicon.

Specifications of Components

Resistor Color Coding


Resistor Color Coding uses colored bands to quickly identify a resistors
resistive value and its percentage of tolerance with the physical size of the resistor
indicating its wattage rating. Generally, the resistance value, tolerance, and wattage
rating are printed on the body of a resistor as numbers or letters when the resistors
body is big enough to read the print, such as large power resistors. But when a
resistor is smaller (example: 1/4 watt carbon or film type), the print is too small to
read, so the specifications must be shown in another way.

4 BAND COLOR CODING CHART

Resistance Value = 100Ω +/- 5%


1 0 x10 +/- 5%

Example
:

Examples:
Yellow-Violet-Orange-Gold Color Code

A resistor colored Yellow-Violet-Orange-Gold would be 47 kΩ


with a tolerance of +/- 5%.

Green-Red-Gold-Silver Color Code

A resistor colored Green-Red-Gold-Silver would be 5.2 Ω


with a tolerance of +/- 10%.

White-Violet-Black Color Code

A resistor colored White-Violet-Black would be 97 Ω with a tolerance of


+/- 20%. When you see only three color bands on a resistor, you know that it is
actually a 4-band code with a blank (20%) tolerance band.

MEASURING INSTRUMENTS
The instrument used for measuring the physical and electrical quantities is
known as the measuring instrument. The term measurement means the comparison
between the two quantities of the same unit. The magnitude of one of the quantity is
unknown, and it is compared with the predefined value. The result of the comparison
obtained regarding numerical value.
Below are some of the most commonly used measuring instruments in
electronic product assembly and servicing.

Instrument Description
Ruler
A tool or device used to measure length and draw
straight lines. A ruler or measuring tape can be used
to measure lengths in both metric and customary
units.
Protractor
A measuring instrument, typically made of
transparent plastic or glass, for measuring angles.
Most protractors measure angles in degrees.
Vernier Caliper
A measuring device used to precisely measure linear
dimensions. In other words, it measures a straight line
between two points.
Compass
A drawing tool that can be used to draw circles or arcs,
parts of circles. They can also be used to measure
distances
Push-Pull
Rule Also called metal tape measure, is a measuring tape
that coils into a compact case. It is used for measuring
long, short, straight lengths.

Multimeter
Analog
Used to measure current, voltage and resistance. They
are very useful instruments that can be utilized in a
number of fields, especially for electrician and
electronic technician.

There are two primary types of multimeters, one begin


the analog and the other is the digital.
Digital
The primary difference between the two is the display,
an analog multimeter uses a needle to show the
value, while a digital multimeter displays the reading
in digits most times on a LED or LCD screen. This
makes taking measurements much more accurate.

How to read the measured voltage


After selecting the desired range which is 250 and connecting the two test
prods to the AC outlet, the pointer stops at point in the ACV scale. Read it from left
to right. For example, it stopped at 43, multiply it by the equivalent which is 5. The
ACV measurement is 215 volts AC.
Example:
43 x 5 = 215 volts

Where: 43 is the point to which the pointer stopped and 5 is the equivalent of each
minor division.

PROPER AND SAFETY USE OF TOOLS
Hand Tools include a wide variety of non-powered devices such as pliers,
cutters, and screwdrivers. These tools may seem harmless, but they are the cause of
many injuries.
Basic Safety Rules for Hand Tools
• Always wear eye protection.
• Wear the right safety equipment for the job.
• Use tools that are the right size & right type for
your job.
• Follow the correct procedure for using every tool.
• Keep your cutting tools sharp and in good
condition.
• Don’t work with oily or greasy hands.
• Handle sharp-edged and pointed tools with care.
• Always carry pointed tools by your side with the
points and heavy ends down.
• Never carry tools in your pockets.
• Don’t use tools which are loose or cracked.
• After using a tool, clean it and return it to its proper storage place.
• If anything breaks or malfunctions, report it to your teacher.
DOs and DON’Ts in Using Hand Tools
Screwdrivers:
 Never use screwdrivers as a pry bar, chisel, and punch stirrer or scraper.
 Always use screwdriver tip that properly fits the slot of the screw.
 Use magnetic or screw-holding screwdrivers to start fasteners in tight areas.
Pliers:
 Do not increase the handle length of pliers to gain more leverage. Use a
larger pair of pliers or bolt cutters.
 Never use pliers as a hammer on the handle. Such abuse is likely to result in
cracks or breaks.
Soldering Iron
 Never touch the element or tip of the soldering iron. They are very hot and
may cause you serious burns.
 Always return the soldering iron to its stand when not in use.
 Keep the cleaning sponge wet during use.
Utility Knives/ Blades:
 Always use a sharp blade. Dull blades require more force and thus are
more likely to slip. Replace the blade when it starts to “tear” instead of cut.
 Keep your free hand away from the line of the cut..
Hacksaw
 Do not attempt to do job with wrong type blade. It makes work hard to do
and results in blade spoilage.
 Do not attempt to cut insecurely fastened work. Blade breakage often results.
Anchor work securely.
Boring Tools
 Never attempt to enlarge a hole by tipping drill sidewise.
 Do not allow drills to overheat while in use or being sharpened.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
is considered the least satisfactory method
in the prevention of work-related injury or
illness and is only to be used when other
measures are not feasible or cannot be
implemented immediately. PPE should be
used, however, to supplement or augment
other means of hazard control, to further
minimize the risk of injury.
Issues affecting use of PPE include
discomfort and inconvenience, and
inappropriate or poorly maintained
equipment. It is vital that problems caused
by inadequate selection, fit and
maintenance do not undermine the
effectiveness of the equipment.
Types of Personal Protective Equipment
PPE can be considered in the following categories, based on the type of protection
afforded by the equipment:
 Respiratory protection - for example, disposable, cartridge, airline, half or full
face
 Eye protection – for example, spectacles/goggles, shields, visors
 Hearing protection – for example, ear muffs and plugs
 Hand protection – for example, gloves and barrier creams
 Foot protection – for example, shoes/boots
 Head protection – for example, helmets, caps, hoods, hard hats

BASIC COMPUTER
What is a computer?
A computer is an electronic device that manipulates
information or data. It has the ability to store, retrieve, and
process. You can use a computer to type documents, send
email, play games, and browse the web and many more.
Components of Computer System
 Hardware - the physical components of a computer.
 Software - refers to the intangible part of the computer system.
 Data ware - the systematic and organized collection of data and procedures
relevant to the organization
 People ware - refers to personnel who manage and use the computer system.
How does a Computer Work?
Basically a computer accepts
input (data), processes it and gives out
results (information). A program or app
(short for application program) in
memory manages the processing. It can
make use of data or information stored
in memory and remember the results of
the processing for later use, again in
memory.
COMPUTER HARDWARE
It is the collection of physical parts of a computer system. There are four parts
of computer hardware that can be found in most computer systems. These are input
devices, processing devices, output devices and storage devices.
Input Devices
An input device is a piece of equipment used to provide data and control signals
to the computer.
Device Description

Secondary Storage Devices


Secondary storage is non-volatile, long-term storage. Without secondary
storage all programs and data would be lost the moment computer is switched off.
There are three main types of secondary storage in a computer system: the
Magnetic Storage Devices, Optical Storage Devices and Solid State Storage Devices.

Magnetic Storage Description


HDD The Hard Disk Drive is where the computer's operating
system and programs are stored. A typical internal hard
drive for a new computer has a storage capacity of several
hundred gigabytes (GB) up to 1 terabyte (TB).

DATA PROCESSING, EDITING AND SAVING
Any use of computers to perform defined operations on data can be included
under data processing. It includes the conversion of raw data to machine-readable
form, flow of data through the CPU and memory to output devices, and formatting or
transformation of output. The basic example of data processing is creating a
document using the Microsoft Word application in your computer.
Getting Started With Microsoft Word 2010
In this lesson, we will discuss how to get started with Word 2010. We will
understand how to start a Word 2010 application in simple steps. Assuming you have
Microsoft Office 2010 installed in your PC, to start the Word application, follow these
steps.
Step 1 − Click the Start button.
Step 2 − Click the All Programs option from the menu
Step 3 − Search for Microsoft Office from the submenu and click it.
Step 4 − Search for Microsoft Word 2010 from the submenu and click it.

Entering Text
Document area is the area where you
type your text. The flashing vertical bar is
called the insertion point and it represents the
location where the text will appear when you
type. Keep the cursor at the text insertion point
and start typing the text. The text appears to
the left of the insertion point as you type −
The following are the two important
points that will help you while typing −
• You do not need to press Enter to start
a new line. As the insertion point
reaches the end of the line, Word automatically starts a new one. You will need
to press Enter, to add a new paragraph.
• When you want to add more than one space between words, use the Tab key
instead of the spacebar. This way you can properly align text by using the
proportional fonts.
Saving New Document
Once you are done with typing in your new Word document, it is time to save
your document to avoid losing work you have done on a Word document.
Following are the steps to save an edited
Word document
Step 1 − Click the File tab and select the Save
As option.
Step 2 − Select a folder where you will like to
save the document, Enter the file name which
you want to give to your document and Select
the Save As option, by default it is the .docx
format.
Step 3 − Finally, click on the Save button and
your document will be saved with the entered
name in the selected folder.
