An Evolution of electronics The beginning ...
1745 Development of the 1st capacitor • Can store a charge • Is used to smooth out power output
Electrical Telegraphy • 1750 Benjamin Franklin sent the 1st electrical signal over a wire. • 1832 Pavel Schilling electromagnetic telegraph. • Used a coil & a magnet to make a code. • Used the binary code for the alphabet • 1837 Morse Telegraph
Luigi Galvani Alexandro Volta Bioelectricity Voltaic Pile 1800 • 1791 Glowing wire
1861 electric oven • WOOD • COMBINATION ELECTRIC
1874 Light bulb • Thomas Edison
1887 1ST ALTERNATING CURRENT NETWORK • Better over long distances
1900s.... • 1904 invention of diodes • Control current direction • 1921 better understanding of semiconductors
1979 handheld video games & cell phones start to be widespread!
Electrical Engineering The design & development of electrical devices.
Electronic Made with semiconductors (silicon) Tiny & low-intensity so that information can be controlled. Component examples Diodes Transistors Computers, phones 14.1 Electronic vs electrical devices • Electrical • Made with conductors (metals (copper) & alloys) • Larger & powerful circuits & motors. • Component examples • Wires • Switches • Fuses • Toaster, stove Please Write
CONVENTIONAL CURRENT Flows from + to – ELECTRON FLOW Flows from – to + Circuit diagrams place their components (parts) to follow the direction of conventional current! Please take out a piece of loose leaf paper to make a table “Circuit Symbols” 14.2 Electrical Circuits Please Write
Circuit Symbols We will fill this up as we go! Leave ~22 rows please Workbook 237 & 238
14.3 Power Supplies • Provide the energy to cause current to move through a circuit. • Two types of current: • DC = Direct Current • Electrons move continuously in one direction. • Can be stored. • Eg. battery • AC = Alternating Current • Electrons move back and forth. • Easier to transport. • Eg. Output at outlets Please Write
Power supply Symbols please add to table. Component: Symbol Function • Battery Power Supply • Alternating current AC Power Supply • Direct current DC Power Supply • Outlet Power Supply • Photoelectric Cell Power Supply Solar cell
Please Write AC electrical generators • Turns mechanical energy into electrical energy. • Makes AC current! • Using a rotating magnetic field with a stationary armature Or I am an armature • rotating armature with a stationary magnetic field • Driven by: • Combustion engine = Alternator (in a car) • Permanent magnets = Magneto • Steam engine (power plant) = Turbo-alternator
A piezoelectric disc generates a voltage when deformed Please Write
Symbols for power suppliesplease add to table Component: Symbol Function • Piezoelectric Crystal Power Supply • Thermocouple Power Supply
Batteries • One cell vs many cells • How do they work? • Transforms chemical energy into electrical energy • Advantage? • Portable • Disadvantages? • Have to be replaced • Contain environmental hazards • Where can you find one? • Watch, mp3, remotes etc Please DO NOT Write
Outlets Please DO NOT Write • How do they work? • AC current is sent from a power plant to the outlets • Advantage? • Stable • Long lasting • Low environmental effect (depending on source) • Disadvantages? • proximity
Please DO NOT Write Solar Panels • How do they work? • Transforms light energy into electrical energy • Advantage? • Portable • No GHGs • Long lasting • Disadvantages? • Depend on sunshine • expensive
14.4 Conduction, insulation & protection P 464 - 468
Please Write Conductors: • Conduction: is the movement of current. • Ex: • Copper, • Aluminum, • Silver, • optical fibers. (light is transmitted & then converted into electricity using a photovoltaic cell)
Transition metals are good conductors of electricity and heat.
Printed Circuits • An Electrical circuit printed on a thin rigid board
Please Write Printed Circuits: • Board = thin plastic sheet. • Cover with a thin copper sheet. • A circuit is etched in. • Extra copper is removed. (by leaching) • Electric & electronic components are then soldered on.
MASS MANUFACTURING OF CIRCUIT BOARDS VIDEO • Electronic items use circuit boards: • Cell phones • Mp3 players • Computers • Etc • How are they made? • How It’s Made – Computer Circuit Boards • How It’s Made - Flexible circuit boards
Please Write Insulation: • Function: to prevent current flow! • Allows current to stay within the wire and reach its destination. • Prevents: • Injury to people • Short circuits • Ex: Ceramics & plastics
Please Write Protection: • Components that stop current if there is a short circuit or a power surge. • Ex: • Fuse • Circuit breakers
Fuses: Please Write • Regulate the current allowed to pass through a circuit. • The current can pass through the filament. • If the current intensity (amps) is too high, the filament melts then breaks. • You must replace it. Filament
Please Write Breaker • How it works: • When the current intensity gets too high…. • The bimetallic strip heats up, gets longer & bends. • As it bends the connection is broken and it snaps to the off position. • You then go to your breaker panel and reset the switch to ON.

Component Symbol Function Fuse or Breaker Protection Please Write onto table
Please Write 14.5 ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE • Resistors limit the current flow through a circuit. • You can add or remove resistors to meet the needs of your component. • Refer to your Ch5 notes for reading resistors.
