Chapter 1 Metric Conversions When converting from a larger unit to a smaller unit, move the decimal point to the right. Remember, a smaller unit means the number must be larger. Smaller unit 0.47 MW = 470 kW Larger number Electronics Fundamentals 8th edition © 2010 Pearson Education, Upper Saddle Floyd/Buchla River, NJ 07458. All Rights Reserved. Chapter 1 Metric Conversions When converting from a smaller unit to a larger unit, move the decimal point to the left. Remember, a larger unit means the number must be smaller. Larger unit 10,000 pF = 0.01 mF Smaller number Electronics Fundamentals 8th edition © 2010 Pearson Education, Upper Saddle Floyd/Buchla River, NJ 07458. All Rights Reserved. Chapter 1 Metric Arithmetic When adding or subtracting numbers with a metric prefix, convert them to the same prefix first. 10,000 W + 22 kW = 10,000 W + 22,000 W = 32,000 W Alternatively, 10 kW + 22 kW = 32 kW Electronics Fundamentals 8th edition © 2010 Pearson Education, Upper Saddle Floyd/Buchla River, NJ 07458. All Rights Reserved. Chapter 1 Metric Arithmetic When adding or subtracting numbers with a metric prefix, convert them to the same prefix first. 200 mA + 1.0 mA = 200 mA + 1,000 mA = 1,200 mA Alternatively, 0.200 mA + 1.0 mA = 1.2 mA Electronics Fundamentals 8th edition © 2010 Pearson Education, Upper Saddle Floyd/Buchla River, NJ 07458. All Rights Reserved. Chapter 1 Error, Accuracy, and Precision Experimental uncertainty is part of all measurements. Error is the difference between the true or best accepted value and the measured value. Accuracy is an indication of the range of error in a measurement. Precision is a measure of repeatability. } Error Precise, but not accurate. Electronics Fundamentals 8th edition © 2010 Pearson Education, Upper Saddle Floyd/Buchla River, NJ 07458. All Rights Reserved. Chapter 1 Significant Digits When reporting a measured value, one uncertain digit may be retained but other uncertain digits should be discarded. Normally this is the same number of digits as in the original measurement. Assume two measured quantities are 10.54 and 3.92. If the larger is divided by the smaller, the answer is 2.69 because the answer has the same uncertainty as the original measurement.

Chapter 1 Significant Digits Rules for determining if a reported digit is significant are: 1. Nonzero digits are always considered to be significant. 2. Zeros to the left of the first nonzero digit are never significant. 3. Zeros between nonzero digits are always significant. 4. Zeros to the right of the decimal point for a decimal number are significant. 5. Zeros to the left of the decimal point with a whole number may or may not be significant depending on the measurement. Electronics Fundamentals 8th edition © 2010 Pearson Education, Upper Saddle Floyd/Buchla River, NJ 07458. All Rights Reserved. Chapter 1 1. Nonzero digits are always considered to be significant. Example: 23.92 has four nonzero digits – they are all significant. 2. Zeros to the left of the first nonzero digit are never significant. Example: 0.00276 has three zeros to the left of the first nonzero digit. There are only three significant digits. 3. Zeros between nonzero digits are always significant. Example: 806 has three significant digits. 4. Zeros to the right of the decimal point for a decimal number are significant. Example: 9.00 has three significant digits. 5. Zeros to the left of the decimal point with a whole number may or may not be significant depending on the measurement. Example: 4000 does not have a clear number of significant digits.

Chapter 1 Rounding numbers Rounding is the process of discarding meaningless digits. Rules for rounding are: 1. If the digit dropped is greater than 5, increase the last retained digit by 1. 2. If the digit dropped is less than 5, do not change the last retained digit. 3. If the digit dropped is 5, increase the last retained digit if it makes it even, otherwise do not. This is called the "round-to-even" rule. Electronics Fundamentals 8th edition © 2010 Pearson Education, Upper Saddle Floyd/Buchla River, NJ 07458. All Rights Reserved. Chapter 1 Utility voltages and GFIC Most laboratory equipment is connected to 120 Vrms at the outlet. Wiring to the outlets generally uses three insulated wires which are referred to as the “hot” (black or red wire), neutral (white wire), and safety ground (green wire). Neutral Hot Ground Notice that neutral is GFIC circuits can detect a difference larger than the hot line. in the hot and neutral current and trip a breaker. One outlet on the circuit will have reset and test buttons. Electronics Fundamentals 8th edition © 2010 Pearson Education, Upper Saddle Floyd/Buchla River, NJ 07458. All Rights Reserved. Chapter 1 Electrical Safety Safety is always a concern with electrical circuits. Knowing the rules and maintaining a safe environment is everyone’s job. A few important safety suggestions are: Do not work alone, or when you are drowsy. Do not wear conductive jewelry. Know the potential hazards of the equipment you are working on; check equipment and power cords frequently. Avoid all contact with energized circuits; even low voltage circuits. Maintain a clean workspace. Know the location of power shutoff and fire extinguishers. Don’t have food or drinks in the laboratory or work area.

Chapter 1 Key Terms Engineering A system for representing any number as a one-, notation two-, or three-digit number times a power of ten with an exponent that is a multiple of three. Exponent The number to which a base is raised. Metric prefix A symbol that is used to replace the power of ten in numbers expressed in scientific or engineering notation. Power of ten A numerical representation consisting of a base of 10 and an exponent; the number 10 raised to a power.
