Electronics

Section 1

• Atoms and Electrical Charge - Discusses the structure of atoms.
• Current - Introduces current and ampere.
• Voltage - Potential difference and voltage.
• Power - Discusses power or the amount of work a circuit is doing.
• Resistance - Discusses electron flow, materials, and the ohm unit.
• Ohm's Law - The relationship between Current, Voltage, and Resistance.

Section 2

Resistors

• What are they
• color codes
• markings, what do they mean
• dont they just adjust the voltage?

• Resistors in Series - Discusses series circuits and the result of putting resistors in series.
• Resistors in Parallel - Discusses Parallel circuits and the result of putting resistors in parallel.

Capacitors

• types of capacitors - polarized and non-polarized
• common uses
• mini battery
• applications (motors, lights, smoothing)
• sizes u up uf f..

• Capacitors in Series - Discusses the result of putting capacitors in series.
• Capacitors in Parallel - Discusses the result of putting capacitors in parallel.

Diodes

• which way to stick them in
• Can use a LED
• voltage

Transistors

• A component used for switching and amplifying.
• PNP
• NPN
• example turn on a high voltage line with the 555 timer circuit, maybe a relay

Integrated circuits

• a schema/datasheet - 555 circuit - build a 555 timer circuit

• pin markings

• Switches
• Relay, S.S Relay, button
• make sure it's grounded
