What is Electronics?• General Definition– The science dealing with the development and

application of devices and systems involving the flow of electrons in a vacuum, in gaseous media, and in semiconductors.

• Modern Definition– The science dealing with the development and

application of devices and systems involving the flow of electrons in semiconductors.

Electronics vs. Electrical• According to Wikipedia– Electrical Engineering is a field of engineering that

generally deals with the study and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism.

– Electronic Engineering, is an engineering discipline where non-linear and active electrical components such as electron tubes, and semiconductor devices, especially transistors, diodes and integrated circuits, are utilized to design electronic circuits, devices and systems.

Electronics vs. Electrical

– Electrical Engineering • Study and utilization/ Application of flow of electrons

– Electronic Engineering• Study and utilization/ Application of flow of charges

(Electrons or holes)

Main Difference

Electricity

• Two forms of electricity

– Static Electricity is an electrical charge at rest

– Produced by either magnetism, chemicals, light, heat, or pressure

Produced Electricity

• Magnetism – Electric Generators• Chemical – Battery, Fuel Cells• Light – Photocell (solar cell)• Heat – Thermocouple (nuclear power)• Pressure - Crystals

Alternating Current• If the high & low voltage terminals switch locations

periodically, the current will flow “back and forth” in the circuit. This is called alternating current (AC).

Alternating Current• It is the form that comes in our house mains. It has a

magnitude of 220V and a frequency of 50Hz.

Direct Current• If the voltage is maintained between two points in a circuit,

charge will flow in one direction - from high to low potential. This is called direct current (DC)

AC vs. DC• Most of the home appliances run on D.C.• Each home appliance is equipped with its own

power supply.• Why we are supplied AC when most of the

appliances run on D.C?

Symbols of Power Sources

Power Supply• A power supply is a device that supplies electric power to

an electrical load.

Task#1• Your first task is to list all the power supplies available in this

lab and fill out the following table.

Measuring Instruments• A measuring instrument is a device for measuring

a physical quantity.

• Instruments for measuring electrical quantitates– Voltmeter (for measuring Voltage)– Ammeter (for measuring current)– Ohmmeter (for measuring resistance)– Multimeter (for measuring all three quantities)

Voltmeter• AC and DC Voltmeters

Voltmeter• Voltmeters have high impedance and hence are

connected in parallel across the points between which potential difference is to be measured.

Voltmeter

Ammeter• AC and DC ammeter

Ammeter• Ammeters, on the other hand exhibit a very small

resistance, and hence are connected in series,

Multimeter• Analog vs Digital

Digital Multimeter• A multimeter is has three parts:– Display– Selection Knob– Ports

Digital Multimeter• Two probes are plugged into two

of the ports on the front of the unit.

• COM stands for common and is almost always connected to Ground or ‘-’ of a circuit.

• The COM probe is conventionally black but there is no difference between the red probe and black probe other than color.

Digital Multimeter• 10A is the special port used

when measuring large currents (greater than 200mA).

• mAVΩ is the port that the red probe is conventionally plugged in to.

• This port allows the measurement of current (up to 200mA), voltage (V), and resistance (Ω).

• Your second task is to list all the measuring instruments available in this lab and fill out the following table.

Measuring voltage Using Digital Multimeter• To start, let’s measure voltage on a AA battery: Plug the

black probe into COM and the red probe into mAVΩ.

• Set the multimeter to “2V” in the DC (direct current) range

• Connect the black probe to the battery’s ground or ‘-’ and the red probe to power or ‘+’

Measuring resistance Using Digital Multimeter

• Pick out a random resistor and set the multimeter to the 20kΩ setting

Measuring Current Using Digital Multimeter• Reading current is one of the trickiest and most insightful readings in

our world of electronics. • It’s tricky because you have to measure current in series.

Continuity Testing Using Digital Multimeter• Continuity testing is the act of testing the resistance between two

points.

• If there is very low resistance (less than a few Ωs), the two points are connected electrically and a tone is emitted.

• If there is more than a few Ωs of resistance, than the circuit is open and no tone is emitted.

• This test helps insure that connections are made correctly between two points.

• This test also helps us detect if two points are connected that should not be.

Continuity Testing Using Digital Multimeter

• Set the multimeter to ‘Continuity’ mode. It may vary among DMMs, but look for a diode symbol with propagation waves around it (like sound coming from a speaker).
