Basic Electricity
The fundamental knowledge of electricity. It will equip students with the basic knowledge in
electricity.
Conductors – are materials that easily allow the flow of the current, or have a low
resistance to current flow.
Insulators – are materials that do not easily allow the flow of the current, or
have a high resistance to current flow.
Types of Current
Components of a Circuit
Types of Circuit
Open Circuit – a type of circuit that has an open path for current to flow.
Closed Circuit – a type of circuit that has a closed path for current to flow.
It is estimated that every year as much as billion dollars of otherwise good computer
equipment is damaged by static electricity, also known as ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD).
Components sensitive to ESD include mainboards, memory chips, PCI, and AGP plug-in
cards, and the bottoms of hard drives. ESD is worst when it’s dry. It is because the air becomes
less conductive to electricity.
An AVR is used to protect PC’s from voltage surge and regulate the voltage supply.
Handling processor
Handling MOBO
Soldering – is a process in which two or more metal are joined together by melting and filling
in a metal into the joint.
Soldering Lead – It is an alloy (mixture) of tin and lead, typically 60% tin and 40% lead.
Soldering Iron – It is composed of a heated metal tip and an insulated handle.
Pliers - a hand tool to hold objects.
De-soldering pump – is a device which is used to remove solder form.
Multi-meter – is an electronic measuring instrument that combines several measurements
function in one unit.
Screw driver – it is a device specifically designed for the insertion and tightening of screws.
Crimping tool – is a tool designed to crimp or connect an RJ45.
RJ45 cable tester – is a tested designed to quickly test ordinary LAN cable.
Paint Brush – a device with bristles, wire or other filaments, used for cleaning.
