    Study Notes

    Resistor Identification and Tolerance

    • Identify the resistance and tolerance of each resistor.
    • The tolerance of a resistor indicates the maximum acceptable deviation from its nominal value.
    • Use the color code bands to find the resistance and tolerance.

    Circuit Analysis with Fuses

    • When a fuse blows, it interrupts the current flow to protect the circuit.
    • The 10A fuse F1 blows when the value of R1 exceeds a certain value, which needs to be determined.

    Switch-Controlled Current

    • When switch S1 is open, no current flows through the circuit, thus I1 is zero.
    • When switch S1 is closed, current flows through the circuit, and I1 has a certain value.

    Resistor Measurement and Tolerance

    • A resistor with bands of yellow, violet, brown, and gold represents 470 ohms with a 5% tolerance.
    • The measured value of 513 ohms falls within the tolerance range of the resistor.

    Circuit Short Circuit

    • A short circuit allows current to flow through an unintended path with very low resistance.
    • A shorted circuit can have extremely high current, potentially damaging components.
    • An open circuit is the opposite of a short circuit. It is a break in the circuit that prevents current flow.

    Circuit Current and Voltage

    • Calculate the current through each resistor in a parallel circuit.
    • Use Ohm's Law (V = I * R) to find the current in each resistor.

    Battery Capacity and Discharge Time

    • A battery's capacity is measured in amp-hours (Ah), representing the total charge it can store.
    • A 12V battery rated at 100Ah can supply a current of 20A for 5 hours.

    Circuit Connections - Practical Part

    • Connect components in series and parallel configurations on a breadboard.
    • Experiment with LEDs and resistors to understand current flow in different circuit arrangements.
