BASICS OF ELECTRONICS
We will be discussing…..• Resistor• Capacitor• Diode• Transister
RESISTORS• Resistors are used to limit current or divide
voltage and in some cases, generate heat.• Used for driving circuit which requires low
current and voltage than available.• A two terminal non-polarised component.
• Unit of resistance is ohm.• Notation for resistance
O- for ohmK- for kilo ohmM- for mega ohm
Contd…
Physical appearance
Practical Use….• To reduce the current flowing in circuit,
use resistance in parallel.
• To reduce the voltage for any circuit, use resistance in series.
CAPACITORS• A two terminal electronic component which
stores energy in form of charge.• capacitance is a measure of a capacitor's
ability to store charge.• A large capacitance means that more
charge can be stored.• Capacitance is measured in Farads(F) but
prefixes like µF and pF for smaller values.
Types of capacitors • Polarized which have specified positive and
negative terminals.
• Non-polarized no defined polarity for terminals.
Practical use• Used for making timer circuits, when used
with resistance.• Used in clipper, clamper circuit.• Used for providing instantaneous large
power as in flashlight of cameras.• Used in DC filter circuits.
DIODES
• A two-terminal electronic component that conducts electric current in only one direction.
The direction of arrow shows the only possible direction of current.
Types of diodes• LED i.e Light Emitting Diodes These diodes emit light when provided
with power supply.
• Photodiode These diode generates currents when
exposed to light.
Practical use• Used for making gates• Used for making rectifiers• Used as a switch• LED as indicators• Photodiodes as light detector
TRANSISTOR• A transistor is a semiconductor device
commonly used to amplify or switch electronic signals.
• Device with three terminals where one terminal can be use to control the flow of current through the other two terminals.
Contd….• The three terminals are Emitter, Base and
Collector
• Transistor are of two types: 1-> n-p-n A straight switch
2-> p-n-p A inverted switch
n-p-n as straight switch• When base of n-p-n is connected with
logic high voltage then it short circuit emitter and collector (SWITCH ON).
• When base of n-p-n is connected with logic low voltage then it open circuit both emitter and collector (SWITCH OFF).
p-n-p as inverted switch• When base of p-n-p is connected with
logic high voltage then it open circuit emitter and collector (SWITCH OFF).
• When base of p-n-p is connected with logic low voltage then it short circuit both emitter and collector (SWITCH ON).
Practically used…• As a switch• As an amplifier• For realizing logic gates
