the electronic stytem Flashcards
what does force mean
The force that makes electrons flow in a conductor is called voltage symbol and is measures in volts.
what is meant by current
An electric current is a flow of electrons when we measure current in a circuit we are measuring the number of electrons passing a given point in a second current
measure in amps
what is the symbol, measurement, symbol of the measurement of voltage
v, volts , v
what is the symbol, measurement, symbol of the measurement of current
I, amps, A
what is the symbol, measurement, symbol of the measurement of residence
R ohms, horse shoe symbol
what is mega-M
millions
what is Base-unit
the standard units of measurement
what is kilo-k
thousands
what is mili-measure the resistance
millions
what is a resistor
-to accurately measure the resistance of a component
-remove from the circuit
-and measured using standard multimeter
what are electricity conductors
materials that are suitable for carrying electrical current
electricity insulaters
materials that prevent electrical flow
semi conductors materials
displays both conductive and insulated properties
examples of conductors
graphite
gold
copper #
example of insulators
plastic
wood
rubber
examples of semi conductors
silicon germanium
what is the input
the input senses and reacts to specific changes
what is the process
the control reacts to change in the imput and then controls or changes the output
what is the output
it switches on or off by the control parts of the circuit
what does the battery do in a circut
acts as a source power for the electronical circuit
what does a thiristor do
as temperature rises the resistors of the thermistor increases and the temperature falls the resistant decreases
what does a variable resistor do `
increases or decreases the amount of resistance to flow of electrons
what does the LDR do
A piece of semi conduct material that has a low resistance in the light conditions and high resistance when is dark
what is a diode
is a piece of semi conductive material that only allows current to flow in one direction
