“ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you
will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.”

BECAUSE YOU ASK WRONGLY, TO SPEND IT

INTRODUCTION TO
BASIC ELECTRONICS
CIRCUIT
• A circuit is a path for electrons to flow through.

The path is from a power sources negative
terminal, through the various components and on to
the positive terminal.
CIRCUIT
• Simple Circuit
If we break a circuit down to it's 4) A Control -- eg: switch
elementary blocks we get: (Optional)
1) A Power Source -- eg: battery 5) An indicator -- eg:
2) A Path -- eg: a wire Meter
(Optional)
3) A Load -- eg: a lamp
CIRCUIT
CONDUCTOR
• A conductor is a material (usually a metal such as
copper) that allows electrical current to pass easily
through. The current is made up of electrons. This
is opposed to an insulator which prevents the flow
of electricity through it.

TYPES OF
CIRCUITS
SERIES CIRCUIT
• A series circuit is one with all the loads in a row.
Like links in a chain. There is only ONE path for
the electricity to flow. If this circuit was a string of
light bulbs, and one blew out, the remaining bulbs
would turn off.
SERIES CIRCUIT
PARALLEL CIRCUIT
• A parallel circuit is one that has two or more paths
for the electricity to flow. In other words, the loads
are parallel to each other. If the loads in this circuit
were light bulbs and one blew out there is still
current flowing to the others as they are still in a
direct path from the negative to positive terminals
of the battery.
PARALLEL CIRCUIT
COMBINATION CIRCUIT
• A combination circuit is one that has a
"combination" of series and parallel paths for the
electricity to flow.

A SERIES CIRCUIT HAS CERTAIN
CHARACTERISTICS AND BASIC RULES:
1. The same current flows through each part of a series circuit.
2. The total resistance of a series circuit is equal to the sum of
individual resistances.
3. Voltage applied to a series circuit is equal to the sum of the
individual voltage drops.
4. The voltage drop across a resistor in a series circuit is directly
proportional to the size of the resistor.
5. If the circuit is broken at any point, no current will flow.
1. The same current flows through each part of a series circuit.
-In a series circuit, the amperage at any point in the circuit is the
same.
2. The total resistance of a series circuit is equal to the sum of
individual resistances.
-In a series circuit you will need to calculate the total resistance
of the circuit in order to figure out the amperage. This is done by
adding up the individual values of each component in series.
A voltage drop is the amount the voltage lowers when crossing a
component from the negative side to the positive side in a series
circuit. If you placed a multimeter across a resistor, the voltage drop
would be the amount of voltage you are reading.
4. The voltage drop across a resistor in a series circuit is directly

proportional to the size of the resistor.

CIRCUITS
A PARALLEL CIRCUIT HAS CERTAIN
1. A parallel circuit has two or more paths for current to flow through.
2. Voltage is the same across each component of the parallel circuit.
3. The sum of the currents through each path is equal to the total current that
flows from the source.
4. You can find total resistance in a Parallel circuit with the following
formula: 1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 +...
Rt = R (t)otal
5. If one of the parallel paths is broken, current will continue to flow in all
the other paths.
1. A parallel circuit has two or more paths for current to
flow through.
Simply remember that PARALLEL means two paths up
to thousands of paths. The flow of electricity is divided
between each according to the resistance along each route.
1. A parallel circuit has two or more paths for current to
flow through.
2. Voltage is the same across each component of the parallel
circuit.
The voltage will be the same anywhere in the circuit.
3. The sum of the currents through each path is equal to the total
current that flows from the source.
Current applied to a parallel circuit is equal to the sum of the
individual current.
3. The sum of the currents through each path is equal to the total
current that flows from the source.
4. You can find total resistance in a Parallel circuit with the following
formula: 1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 +...
Rt = R (t)otal
1 1 1 1
-- = -- + -- + --
Rt 4 4 2
1/Rt = .25 + .25 + .5
1/Rt = 1
Now you have to get rid of the 1 on the left side so...
Rt = 1/1
Rt = 1 Ohm
Voltage = 120 Volts
R1 = 100 Ohms
R2 = 200 Ohms
R3 = 1000 Ohms
R4 = 1 Ohms
1/Rt = 1/100 + 1/200 + 1/1000 + 1/1
1/Rt = .01 + .005 + .001 + 1
1/Rt = 1.016
Rt = 1/1.016 = .98 Ohms
5. If one of the parallel paths is broken, current will continue to flow in all
the other paths.
