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.
