ELECTRONICS
Science dealing with the development and application of devices and system involving the
flow of electrons.

Application of Electronics:
1. Communication Electronics
2. Electric Power
3. Digital Electronics

Basic Electrical Components:

1. Active devices that can be used for amplification, rectification or change
energy from one another.
a. semiconductor
b. electron tubes
c. visual display devices

2. Passive devices do not require any source of energy to perform their function
in an application.
a. Resistors limits the flow of current or divide the voltages in the circuit.
b. Capacitor concentrates the electric field of voltage applied to a dielectric
c. Inductor concentrates the magnetic field of electric current in the coil.

ATOMIC STRUCTURE
Atom the smallest particle of an element that retains the characteristics of the element

Figure 1-1.
BOHR MODEL.
The composition of a simple helium atom.

Subatomic Particles:

MASS CHARGE
Electrons 9.1 x 10-31 kg 1.67 x 10-19 C
Protons 1.67 x 10 -27 kg 1.67 x 10-19 C
Neutrons 1.67 x 10-27 kg 0C

Atomic Number = number of protons
