Potentiometer
A potentiometer informally a pot, is a threeterminal resistor with a sliding or rotating contact that forms
an adjustable voltage divider.[1] If only two terminals are used,
one end and the wiper, it acts as a variable
resistor or rheostat.
A potentiometer measuring instrument is essentially a voltage
divider used for measuring electric potential (voltage); the component is an
implementation of the same principle, hence its name.
Potentiometers are commonly used to control electrical devices such as volume
controls on audio equipment. Potentiometers operated by a mechanism can be
used as position transducers, for example, in a joystick. Potentiometers are
rarely used to directly control significant power (more than a watt), since the
power dissipated in the potentiometer would be comparable to the power in the
controlled load.
Potentiometers comprise a resistive element, a sliding contact (wiper) that
moves along the element, making good electrical contact with one part of it,
electrical terminals at each end of the element, a mechanism that moves the
wiper from one end to the other, and a housing containing the element and
wiper.
Many inexpensive potentiometers are constructed with a resistive element
formed into an arc of a circle usually a little less than a full turn and a wiper
sliding on this element when rotated, making electrical contact. The resistive
element, with a terminal at each end, is flat or angled. The wiper is connected to
a third terminal, usually between the other two. On panel potentiometers, the

wiper is usually the center terminal of three. For single-turn potentiometers, this
wiper typically travels just under one revolution around the contact.
Integrated Circuits
An integrated
circuit or monolithic integrated
circuit (also referred to as an IC,
a chip, or a microchip) is a set
of electronic circuits on one small
plate ("chip") of semiconductor
material, normally silicon. This
can be made much smaller than
a discrete circuit made from independent components. ICs can be made very
compact, having up to several billion transistors and other electronic
components in an area the size of a fingernail. The width of each conducting
line in a circuit can be made smaller and smaller as the technology advances; in
2008 it dropped below 100 nanometres,[1] and now is tens of nanometers.[2]
ICs were made possible by experimental discoveries showing
that semiconductor devices could perform the functions of vacuum tubesand by
mid-20th-century technology advancements in semiconductor device
fabrication. The integration of large numbers of tiny transistors into a small chip
was an enormous improvement over the manual assembly of circuits using
discrete electronic components. The integrated circuit's mass
production capability, reliability and building-block approach to circuit
design ensured the rapid adoption of standardized integrated circuits in place of
designs using discrete transistors.
Department of Electronics
ICs have two main advantages over discrete circuits: cost and performance.
Cost is low because the chips, with all their components, are printed as a unit
by photolithography rather than being constructed one transistor at a time.
Capacitors
A capacitor (originally known as a condenser) is a passive twoterminal electrical component used to store energy electrostatically in an electric
field. The forms of practical capacitors vary widely, but all contain at least
two electrical conductors (plates) separated by a dielectric (i.e. insulator). The
conductors can be thin films, foils or sintered beads of metal or conductive
electrolyte, etc. The nonconducting dielectric acts to increase the capacitor's
charge capacity. A dielectric can be glass, ceramic, plastic film, air, vacuum,
paper, mica, oxide layer etc. Capacitors are widely used as parts of electrical
circuits in many common electrical devices. Unlike a resistor, an ideal capacitor
does not dissipate energy. Instead, a capacitor stores energy in the form of
an electrostatic field between its plates.
When there is a potential difference across the conductors (e.g., when a
capacitor is attached across a battery), an electric field develops across the
dielectric, causing positive charge +Q to collect on one plate and negative
charge Q to collect on the other plate. If a battery has been attached to a
Department of Electronics
capacitor for a sufficient amount of time, no current can flow through the
capacitor. However, if a time-varying voltage is applied across the leads of the
capacitor, a displacement current can flow.
LED
A light-emitting diode (LED) is a twolead semiconductor light source. It is a pnjunction diode, which emits light when activated.

Resistor
A resistor is a passive twoterminal electrical
component that
implements electrical
resistance as a circuit element.
Resistors act to reduce current
flow, and, at the same time, act to lower voltage levels within circuits. In
electronic circuits resistors are used to limit current flow, to adjust signal
levels, bias active elements, terminate transmission lines among other uses.
High-power resistors that can dissipate many watts of electrical power as heat
may be used as part of motor controls, in power distribution systems, or as test
loads for generators. Fixed resistors have resistances that only change slightly
with temperature, time or operating voltage. Variable resistors can be used to
adjust circuit elements (such as a volume control or a lamp dimmer), or as
sensing devices for heat, light, humidity, force, or chemical activity.
Resistors are common elements of electrical networks and electronic
circuits and are ubiquitous in electronic equipment. Practical resistors as
discrete components can be composed of various compounds and forms.
Resistors are also implemented within integrated circuits.

IC 555:-
The 555, in fig. 1 and fig. 2 above, come in two packages, either the round
metal-can called the 'T' package or the more familiar 8-pin DIP 'V' package.
About 20-years ago the metal-can type was pretty much the standard (SE/NE
types). The 556 timer is a dual 555 version and comes in a 14-pin DIP package,
the 558 is a quad version with four 555's also in a 14 pin DIP case.
Department of Electronics
Inside the 555 timer, at fig. 3, are the equivalent of over 20 transistors, 15
resistors, and 2 diodes, depending of the manufacturer. The equivalent circuit, in
block diagram, providing the functions of control, triggering, level sensing or
comparison, discharge, and power output. Some of the more attractive features
of the 555 timer are: Supply voltage between 4.5 and 18 volt, supply current 3
to 6 mA, and a Rise/Fall time of 100 nSec. It can also withstand quite a bit of
abuse.
The Threshold current determine the maximum value of Ra + Rb. For 15 volt
operation the maximum total resistance for R (Ra +Rb) is 20 Mega-ohm.
The supply current, when the output is 'high', is typically 1 milli-amp (mA) or
less. The initial monostable timing accuracy is typically within 1% of its
calculated value, and exhibits negligible (0.1%/V) drift with supply voltage.
Department of Electronics
Thus long-term supply variations can be ignored, and the temperature variation
is only 50ppm/C (0.005%/C).

IC UM3561
Inside the IC, there is an oscillator circuit and the frequency of oscillations is
controlled by the external resistor connected to OSC 1(Pin 7) and OSC2 (Pin 8).
A 220 K resistor will give satisfactory results. The oscillations thus generated
will be then transferred to a control circuit which function based on the tone
selection through the connections of SEL 1 (Pin 6) and SEL2 (Pin 1) . The
control circuit passes the signal to an address counter and then to the ROM. The
tone pulses thus generated will be available from the output pin 3. Since the
sound is weak, an amplifier is necessary to get loud sound. A single NPN
transistor will amplify the sound.

Copper Foil
Department of Electronics
Pure copper has an electrical conductivity second only to that of silver and
hence its main application is in the electrical industry. Copper is also the basis
of many important alloys (e.g. brass, bronze and aluminium bronze) and has
been traditionally considered to be one of the coinage metals, along with silver
and gold, but being more common, is the least valued. It is one of the first
metals ever to have been worked by man and is thought to have been mined for
more than 5000 years.
