EASE 1 Flashcards
What is the primary purpose of a breadboard?
To create temporary electrical circuit connections
Source Code is composed in?
Arduino IDE
Which pin has a built-in LED?
Pin 13
What are parallel circuits?
A parallel circuit is a circuit that contains multiple pathways, or branches
What are Schematics?
Symbolic descriptions of a circuit’s connections
What is the easiest way to tell a resistor’s level of resistance?
Look at the colour stripes and calculate the resistance
What is a series circuit?
In-line circuitry
What is a good analogy for current?
Water-and-pipe analogy - if we have a water pump that exerts pressure (voltage) to push water around a “circuit” (current) through a restriction (resistance), we can model how the three variables interrelate.
What is the mathematical formula for OHM’s law?
IVR triangle. I = current; V = voltage; R = resistance
What is a good analogy for voltage?
Refer to the water-and-pipe analogy. In this analogy, voltage is represented by the water pressure
What is the definition of a circuit?
A circuit is a complete circular path that electricity flows through
LED positive and negative
Long side = anode = positive; Short side = cathode = negative
What is the symbol for LDR?
A wiggly line or box within a circle with two lines pointing at it
What is the symbol for a resistor?
Wiggly line or a box
What is the difference between schematics and writing diagram?
A schematic shows the plan and function for an electrical circuit, but is not concerned with the physical layout of the wires whilst a writing diagram show how the wires are connected and where they should located in the actual device and the connections between parts
