Basic Electronics

Activity # 1: Introduction to Electrical and Electronics conductivity

Name: Kaihlle Jerrianne M. Prado

Program/Section: BSIT – 1M
Instructor: Professor Mark Philip Felipe

Objective:

To create awareness to the students about the different kinds of electrical sources, insulators
and conductors around the household. To avoid untoward incidents of electrical shock on
conductive devices that are exposed to live electricity.

1. After discussing the fundamentals of electricity and introduction to electronics

can you select the 5 different sources of electricity inside and outside your
household?
2. After discussing the conductors and insulators can you identify at least 5 possible
conductors of electricity and 5 insulators that you can find inside your
household?

Instructions:

Create a table as follows:

Electrical tape Insulator When I serach it on

the internet it says
that is a type of
pressure-sensitive
tape used to
insulate electrical
wires and other
materials that
conduct electricity.
It can be made of
many plastics, but
PVC (polyvinyl
chloride, "vinyl") is
most popular, as it
stretches well and
gives an effective
and long lasting
insulation.

Human Hair Insulator hair experts

provided sample
evidence that hair is
an insulator.
Although wet hair
exhibited drastic
reduction in
resistivity;
scientists regarded
hair as a proton
semiconductor at
the best.

Cloth Insulator Because when I

search it on the
internet it says
that it has no free
electrons.

Rubber Insulator The rubber

properties prevent
the electrons to be
able to freely move
and the addition of
the electrons being
tightly bounded
makes rubber a
 good insulator.

Oil Insulator The oil by nature

does not conduct
electricity. It does
not allow electric
current to pass
through.
