CIS 119: Fundamentals of Electronics

The introduction of vacuum tubes at the beginning of the 20th century was the starting point of the rapid growth of modern electronics. With vacuum tubes the manipulation of signals became possible, which could not be done with the early telegraph and telephone circuit or with the early transmitters using high-voltage sparks to create radio waves.

1745 Cuneus and Muschenbrock, in Leyden (Netherlands) - Discover the Levden jar - The first electrical capacitor--a storage mechanism for an electrical charge. - The first ones were a glass jar filled with water--two wires suspended in the water. 1746-52 Benjamin Franklin - He flew kites to demonstrate that lightning is a form of static electricity. - He would run a wire to the kite and produce sparks at the ground, or charge a Leyden jar. This led Franklin to invent the lightning rod. 1785 Charles Augustus Coulomb (1736-1806) - Invented the torsion balance.

CIS 119: Fundamentals of Electronics - The torsion balance is a simple device: a horizontal cross-bar is mounted on a stretched wire. A ball is then mounted on each end of the cross bar. 1791 Luigi Galvani (1737:-1798) - Investigated electricity as the source of life. - Galvani believed living tissues contained electricity and does a number of experiments: connecting pieces of metal (zinc, copper, iron, tin, etc.) to a piece of wire--zinc and copper worked really well--to create what's called a bimetallic arc. 1800 Count Alessandro Volta (1745-1827) - He took the same bimetallic arcs (several of them) and dipped them in glasses of brine. - This was Volta's Couronne des Tasses--his first battery. - The-voltaic pile was an improved configuration for a battery. - He showed that the bimetallic arcs (not Galvani's frog legs) were the source of electricity. 1820 Hans Christian Oersted (1777-1851) in Denmark - He demonstrated a relationship between electricity and magnetism by showing that an electrical wire carrying a current will deflect a magnetic needle. 1822-27 Andre Marie Ampere (1775-1836) in France - He gave a formalized understanding of the relationships between electricity and magnetism using algebra. - Invented the astatic needle, which made possible the modern astatic galvanometer. - He was the first to show that two parallel conductors carrying currents traveling in the same direction attract each other and, if traveling in opposite directions, repel each other. 1826 Georg Simon Ohm (1787-1854) - He wanted to measure the motive force of electrical currents. - He found that some conductors worked better than others and quantified the differences. - He waited quite some time to announce "Ohm's Law" because his theory was not accepted by his peers.

Michael Faraday (1791-1867) 1820s - Faraday postulated that an electrical current moving through a wire creates "fields of force" surrounding the wire. - He believed that as these "fields of force" when established and collapsed could move a magnet. This led to a number of experiments with electricity as a motive (moving) force. 1821 - Faraday built the first electric motor--a device for transforming an electrical current into rotary motion. 1831 - Faraday made the first transformer--a device for inducing an electrical current Ina wire not connected to an electrical source, also known as Faraday's Ring. It was powered by a voltaic pile and used a manually operated key to interrupt the current. 1820s - Faraday postulated that an electrical current moving through a wire creates "fields of force" surrounding the wire. - He believed that as these "fields of force" when established and collapsed could move a magnet. This led to a number of experiments with electricity as a motive (moving) force. Karl Friedrich Gauss (1777-1855) and Wilhelm Eduard Weber (1804-1891) - Gauss ranks as one of the greatest mathematicians of all time. - Weber, a German physicist, also established a system of absolute electrical units.

IMPORTANCE OF ELECTRONIC PROJECTS


ELECTRONIC project making is the best hobby in terms of outcome. All electronic projects can always serve a variety of application for so many hours. But besides the utility of projects, constructors make a project for some other compelling reasons. TO SAVE - Ready-made electronic devices are sold at several commercial centers. - They come in various enclosure formats simply to attract buyers. TO LEARN Step by step procedure Reviews the Schematic Diagram Locate the mistake or defective parts. Easy and enjoyable way

TO AVOID SERVICING PROBLEM - Kits are always provided with how to do, what to do and how to avoid tips. - There is a schematic diagram provided. - Parts are also available on stock most of the time. - Even if a kit failed to work the first time or went wrong one, two or more years later, it won't be a problem.

CIS 119: Fundamentals of Electronics TO DEVELOP SELF-CONFIDENCE - Kit making for some people is like a big challenge. - The step-by-step procedure and the work involved require resourcefulness and patience to come up with a working electronic kit. - This is essentially a way of building up self-confidence - an ingredient most teeners ought to have to cope up with day-to-day living.

IT'S A GOOD HOBBY - A good alternative and an acceptable hobby for most teeners is electronic kit making. - It is intended to fill up a need economically, to learn, to develop selfconfidence, and to prepare oneself for a career in electronics.

HOW TO READ ELECTRONIC DIAGRAMS


IDEAS in electronics are introduced in diagram form called SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM. It shows the components used and their interconnections. Each graphic symbol is also accompanied with a reference designation to distinguish it from other similar symbols. The reference designation is the letter and number nearest the graphic symbol. For example, a section of a circuit is as follows:

The reference designations are R1, Q1, C1, and SPKR. Their values or actual description are given in the PARTS LIST like:

WIRING GUIDE - It shows the wiring connections of components and also shows the auxiliary hardwares such as terminal strips, fuse holder, switches, AC cord and plug. - When intended for assembly lines, the wiring guide also includes color coding of wires and some components.

RULES AND CONVENTIONS IN ELECTRONICS DIAGRAMS


Electronics diagrams also follow some rules which are agreed upon by several associations of electronics engineers. Among the most common rules are the following: 1. Signal flow in a circuit should be from left to right of a schematic diagram. 2. Voltage potentials are indicated with the highest potential placed at the upper portion of the diagram and the ground (lowest) potential at the bottom. 3. When intersecting lines are to be electrically connected a small solid circle should be used.

4. The meaning of a symbol does not change with its position or orientation in a diagram, its size, or line width. 5. Connecting line linking a symbol should be drawn horizontally or vertically but if ever a connecting line is drawn at an angle it implies the same meaning unless otherwise specified.

6. The standard symbol for a terminal () could be added to any symbol but should not be considered as part of a symbol itself.

OTHER COMMON PRACTICES Interrupted Lines When a connecting line or group of lines could not be directly continued to its final destination, arrows (brackets) with designation of the destination could be implemented.
