Study Notes
Types of Electricity
- AC (Alternating Current) primarily powers homes, sourced from electricity plants and outlets, and is used for appliances.
- DC (Direct Current) powers devices through batteries and is utilized for electronics.
Key Electrical Concepts
- Voltage: Represents the electric potential difference between two points, measured in volts (V).
- Current: Denotes the flow of electrons in a conductor, measured in amperes (A); high current can cause electric shocks.
- Resistance: The opposition to electric current flow, measured in ohms (Ω).
Basic Tools in Electronics
Driving Tools
-
Screwdriver: Essential for inserting, tightening, loosening, and removing screws.
- Slotted Screwdriver: Designed for negative slotted screws.
- Philips Screwdriver: Suitable for positive slotted screws and can handle greater torque for tighter fastenings.
Soldering Tools
- Soldering Iron: Heats up to melt solder for connecting metal parts.
- Soldering Tool Stand: Used to hold the soldering iron when not in use.
- Desoldering Tool: Used to remove soldered wires and components for troubleshooting and repairs on printed circuit boards.
Boring Tools
- Portable Electric Drill: Used for boring holes in plastics or metal with sizes ranging from 1/6 to approximately 1/4 inch.
- 12V Mini Drill: Specifically for drilling holes in printed circuit boards (PCBs) with sizes from 1/32 to 1/16 inch.
- Metal Files: Hand tools with sharp ridges or teeth, available in types like flat, half-round, and round for precision filing.
Auxiliary Tools
- Magnifying Glass: A convex lens that produces a magnified image for detailed observations.
- Paint Brush: Made of bristles to clean circuit components and other objects.
Splicing Tools
- Long Nose Pliers: Useful for holding, bending, and stretching wires or leads; also functions as wire cutters.
- Flat or Combination Pliers: Feature flat jaws, with one side sharp for cutting.
- Wire Cutter/Stripper: Blades designed for cutting and stripping wires.
Cutting Tools
- Hacksaw: Used for cutting metals; some have pistol grips for better handling.
- Utility Knife: Versatile cutting tool, requires careful handling due to its potential danger.
Electronic Equipment
- VOM (Volt-Ohm-Meter): A multifunction tool that measures voltage, resistance, and current (ohm, milliamp).
- Oscilloscope: Visualizes and measures electrical signals for detailed analysis.
- Signal Generator: Produces simple waveforms for various testing and measurement applications.
