Introduction To Basic Electronicsw

This document provides an overview of the topics and materials that will be covered in an introduction to electronics and breadboarding circuits class. The class will explore fundamental electronics principles like what is electricity, batteries, circuits, and basic components. It will teach how to build simple circuits using a breadboard and components like resistors, LEDs, capacitors, transistors, motors and more. Students will learn about components through experiments and exercises combining the parts to make devices and observing their interactions. The goal is to understand electronics at a basic level and be able to construct sample projects to take home.

Introduction to Electronics and
Breadboarding Circuits

What we're going to learn today:


What is an electronic circuit?
What kind of power is needed for these projects?
What are the fundamental principles of electronics?
What are the basic electronic components used in DC analog
circuits?
How do these principles combine to make interesting things?
We're going to make some of those things, and you can take
the kit, and the projects home with you.

What is electricity?
What kinds are there?
What can it do?
What are the dangers?

Batteries as a power source


What kinds of batteries are there?

What is a circuit?
Combination of electronic parts, wires connected between
power sources. It's like a physical program. It's also like setting
up dominoes in sequence.

What is a breadboard?
What are they good for?
Creatings, organizing, and prototyping a circuit.
Literally started out as a bread board with nails.

What are LEDs?


Light Emitting Diodes
Diode Symbol + Arrows for light
Points to ground

Hello World for a Circuit


Light and LED
Parts:
Battery
Resistor
LED
Why:
Power Source
An LED will light up when enough voltage is supplied but can
also burn out if too much is allowed to pass through. The
resistor will limit the voltage to prevent damage.
Do:
Connect Battery, Resistor, LED

LED Circuit
1 LED Plus resistor
Why have a resistor?
Current, limiting.

Series circuit example

Parallel Circuit example

Parallel and Series Circuit Example

Fundamental Parts
Resistor
Capacitor
Wire
Diodes
Light Emitting Diodes (LED)
Battery
Transistors
Motors
They each have a physical property that interacts with
electricity. When put in combination various actions occur.

What are resistors?


Resistors provide a specific amount of resistance to a path in a
circuit or wire. Ohm's law is used to calculate the
properties related to resistance.
Ohm's Law: I = V/R
I = Current measured in Amps
V = Voltage measured in Volts
R = Resistance measured in Ohms
Resistors are color coded.

Resistor Color Code


Resistor Color Code Wheel Calculator

Variable resistor: The potentiometer


Voltage dividers
Try out the different pots.

RGB LED
Try resistors out in various combination to make different
colors. Experiment by adding potentiometers to the leads.

LED and Photoresistor


Photoresistors change their resistance by the amount of light
detected.

What are capacitors?


Capacitor is two separated charges.
Known charge up time.
Know discharge time.
Two major kinds
Electrolytic, asymmetric, bipolar
Ceramic, symmetric

Capacitors in series

Capacitors in Parallel

They can provide energy, however briefly.


They can smooth out a signal.
Attach the battery briefly to fill the capacitor.

Capacitors in series and parallel

Make a voltage regulator

Reed Switch Example


A reed switch is closed when a magnet is in close proximity.
It is symmetric so it can placed either direction.

Tilt ball switch


Emergency on/off if project tips over.

Motors
Try changing the direction
of the diode.
