Study Notes
Electronic Components
- Electronic components are used in circuits and devices
SI Derived Units
- The SI derived unit of charge is the Coulomb (C)
- The SI derived unit of current is the Ampere (A)
- The SI derived unit of potential difference is the Volt (V)
- The SI derived unit of energy is the Joule (J)
- The SI derived unit of power is the Watt (W)
Engineering Prefixes
- Commonly used engineering prefixes to make writing large numbers easier
- Examples are mega, kilo, milli, micro, nano
Measuring Voltage
- Voltage is measured in Volts (V), between two points in a circuit.
- Voltage is a measure of potential difference or electromotive force.
- A voltmeter must always be connected in parallel across the circuit.
- Voltage causes current to flow through a circuit.
Measuring Current
- Current is the rate of flow of electrical charge
- Current is measured in Amperes (A)
- An ammeter is used to measure current
- An ammeter is always connected in series with the circuit.
Temperature Coefficient
- Defined as change in resistance per degree Celsius
- Resistance is measured in Ohms (Ω)
Measuring Resistance
- An ohmmeter is used to measure resistance.
- The ohmmeter must be connected in parallel with the circuit.
- The positive lead should be connected to the positive terminal and the negative lead to the negative terminal.
