    Study Notes

    Introduction to Electronic Circuits

    • Electronic circuits are pathways for electric currents to flow
    • Circuits are composed of voltage sources, conductive paths (conductors), and loads
    • Types of loads include resistive, inductive, and capacitive loads
    • A voltage source provides energy through a potential difference between its positive and negative terminals
    • Voltage sources can be AC, which varies sinusoidally, or DC, where the current flows in one direction

    Circuit Components

    • Passive components consume electric power without introducing energy into the circuit; examples include resistors, capacitors, and inductors
    • Active components control current flow, amplifying, injecting, or producing power gain; examples are transistors, thyristors, and triode vacuum tubes
    • Electromechanical components utilize electric current or voltage for mechanical functions; examples are DC motors and relays

    Types of Circuit Components

    • Resistors: oppose current flow, measured in Ohms (Ω)
    • Inductors: store energy in a magnetic field when current flows, measured in Henrys (H)
    • Capacitors: store electric charge when a potential difference exists, measured in Farads (F)

    Essential Parameters of Electric Circuits

    • Current (I): measured in Amperes (A), is the flow of electrons through a circuit
    • Voltage (V): also known as electromotive force (E), measured in Volts (V), is the potential difference between two points in a circuit
    • Resistance (R): measured in Ohms (Ω), is the attribute of a component to resist current flow

    Understanding Signals

    • Signals are physical quantities that contain information
    • Analog signals: have continuous values, representing real-world phenomena like temperature and sound. Analog circuits process these signals
    • Digital signals: have only a finite number of distinct values, usually represented by binary values (0 or 1). Digital circuits process these signals

    Advantages and Disadvantages of Analog and Digital Systems

    Analog Systems

    • Disadvantages:
      • Less accurate
      • Less versatile
      • More susceptible to noise and distortion
      • More affected by weather conditions

    Digital Systems

    • Advantages:
      • Greater accuracy and versatility
      • Less susceptible to noise and distortion
      • Less affected by weather conditions
