FUNDAMENTALS OF ELECTRONICS TECHNOLOGY

TOPIC: SI UNITS (FUNDAMENTAL AND DERIVED)

Thinking Time!

What do you think will happen to us if there is no electricity in our life?

 In our modern world and technology, electricity gives impact to our life. I runs lightings in our
home. Electricity also gives power to our appliances. So when there’s no electricity, our world
would not be better. Electricity allows us to power the technology we use every day. If you plan
on trying to live without electricity, you will no longer be able to turn on the central heating in
your home, use the toilet, preserve food in your fridge/freezer or have clean running water.

Activity 1

Direction: Convert the following.

1. 3.68 kg = 3680 g
2. 568 cm = 5.68 m
3. 8700 ml = 8.7 l
4. 25 mg = 0.025 mm
5. 250 ml = 0.25 l
6. 0.101 cm = 1.01 mm
7. 600 g = 0.6 kg
8. 8900 mm = 8.9 m
9. 0.000004 m = 0.004 mm
10. 0.250 kg = 250000 mg

Sum Up

Directions: Research how electric corporations reads our electric power. Are they using conversion?
Explain.

 By reading our electric meter and yes they use conversion to know our billing based on our
electric consumption.

TOPIC: CONVENTIONAL CURENT AND ELECTRON FLOW

Thinking Time!

What is the schematic diagram all about?

 It is all about the Flow of current.

Activity 1

Direction: Answer the following questions. Write your answer at the back of this page.

1. In this electrical circuit, trace the direction of current through the wires:

2. Show which directions these free-floating ions would move, if exposed to an electric field of the
polarity shown:

3. Label the directions of both electron flow and conventional flow in this simple circuit:

4. In metallic conductors, the dominant carriers of electric charge are free electrons, which of course are
negatively charged. Are there any examples of electric conduction where electric charge is carried by
positively-charged particles?
 The metal itself if the positive charge. We all know that metal is a primary conductor of
electricity.

5. Explain, in your own words, how we came to have two completely opposite notations for labelling the
direction of electric current. What historical events led to this confusion, and why does it still exist
today?
 In my own words, it’s basically base on their experiments. And it still exist today because of
some reason that many people still believing in conventional rather than the electron flow vice
versa.

6. Two people are debating electron flow versus conventional flow. One of them says that you will get
different results predicting polarity of voltage drops in a resistive circuit depending on which convention
you use. The other person says the convention for labelling current does not matter at all, and that the
correct polarities will be predicted either way. Which of these two people is correct? Explain why, and
give an example to prove your point.
  They are both correct, depending on how they execute the experiment flow of electrons.

7. Suppose a person is more familiar with conventional flow notation than electron flow notation. If this
person finds themselves in a situation where they must draw the direction of current according to
electron flow notation, what advice would you give them for making the transition.
 Do it in reverse, from negative to positive.

 30 ohms

TOPIC: CHARGE, E.M.F AND POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE

Activity

Direction: Research a schematic diagram of E.M.F and Potential Difference, draw it and explain the
difference of the flow of current.

TOPIC: OHM’S LAW

Thinking Time!

Do you believe that our body has a resistance? Explain.

 Yes, because our body resist when we contact to an electricity.

Activity 1

Direction: Answer the question. Write your answer at the back of this page.

For a given amount of water pressure, which will flow a greater rate of water: a small (restrictive) nozzle
or a large (unrestrictive) nozzle? Explain how this relates to the study of voltage, current, and resistance
in a simple electric circuit.
 The smaller nozzle, because the smaller the nozzle the more water will accumulate to the hose.
When water are intact there will be a pressure. And that’s how the flow are greater in smaller
nozzle.
Activity 2

Direction: Answer the question. Write your answer at the back of this page.

1. In this circuit, three resistors receive the same amount of current (4 amps) from a single source.
Calculate the amount of voltage “dropped” by each resistor, as well as the amount of power dissipated
by each resistor:
 V= P/I
 V= 24v / 1+2+3 Amps
 V= 24 / 6
 V=4

2. Re-draw this circuit in the form of a schematic diagram:

3. Explain, step by step, how to calculate the amount of current (I) that will go through each resistor in
this series circuit, and also the voltage (V) dropped by each resistor:

Activity 3

Direction: Answer the question. Write your answer at the back of this page.

1. Determine the amount of voltage impressed across each resistor in this circuit:
 V= P/I
 V= 15v / 100 + 100 Amps
 V= 15v / 200 A
 V = 13.34 v

2. According to Ohm’s Law, how much current goes through each of the two resistors in this circuit?
 I = V/R
 I = 24v / 2.2 + 4.7 A
 I = 24v / 6.6 A
 I = 3.63
3. Calculate the total amount of current that the battery must supply to this parallel circuit:
 I = V/R
 I = 10v / 500 + 500 A
 I = 10v / 1000 A
 I = 10

4. There are two well-known formula for calculating the total resistance of parallel-connected
resistances. One of these works only for two resistances, while the other works for any number of
parallel resistances. Write these two formula, and give examples of their use.

5. Explain, step by step, how to calculate the amount of current (I) that will go through each resistor in
this parallel circuit, and also the voltage (V) dropped by each resistor:
 I = V/R
 I = 12v / 1000 + 2000 + 470 A
