Basics of Electronics Lecture 1: Electronic Circuits Biomedical Engineering Program

Study Notes

Electricity Components

Electricity components discussed in the lecture include voltage, current, and resistance.

Types of Current

Two main types of current are alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC), classified based on the direction of current flow through a conductor.

Analogy for Electricity

The water flow analogy is used to describe electricity and current flow in the lecture, where voltage is equivalent to water pressure, current is equivalent to water flow rate, and resistance is equivalent to pipe friction.

Course Outline

Lectures 2-3 will cover topics outlined in the course.

Instructor Information

The head instructor for the Electronic Circuits course is not specified by name.

Volt-Ohm-Meter Function

The main function of a Volt-Ohm-Meter is not specified in detail, but it is used to measure voltage, current, and resistance.

Resistance Definition

Resistance can be defined as the opposition to the flow of electrons through a conductor, dependant on the conductor's material, length, and cross-sectional area.

Circuit Types

The three basic kinds of circuits are not specified in detail, but they are likely to be series, parallel, and series-parallel circuits.

Resistor Characteristics

Resistors have specific resistance values and power handling capabilities, which are associated with their physical properties and construction.
