ELET Intro Flashcards
They locate and repair faults.
They perform periodic maintenance.
Electronics technicians
They design components, circuits, and systems.
They develope new applications.
Electronics engineers
Build and test prototypes under engineer’s supervision.
Recommend circuit modifications.
Electronics technologist
Digital multimeter (DMM)
Frequency counter
Function generator
Oscilloscope
Test equipment
A group of components that perform a specific function.
Most circuits composed of the same basic components.
Circuit
Limit current
Resistor
Oppose change in voltage
Capacitors
Oppose change in current
Inductor
Operation based on flow of charge through vacuum.
High-power systems
Musical instrument amplifiers
Cathode ray tube (CRT) - video display
Vacuum Tubes
Replaced most vacuum tube applications.
Smaller, Cheaper, more efficient, more rugged.
Do not have high-powered capability like vacuum tubes
Semiconductors
Entire groups of circuits housed in a single package.
Made home computer and other consumer systems possible
Integrated circuits (IC’s)
Ohm
Resistor
Fixed value and variable value (Pot)
Resistor
Farad
Capacitor
Also known as condensers
