Electronic Systems
Solderless Circuit Board
A device that allows you to assemble electronic circuits without the use of solder
Resistor Color Code
A method of indicating the resistance value in ohms; color bands are associated with a number that allows for quick and easy resistor value reading
+/- 1%
Brown Percent Tolerance
Resistor
Device used to regulate the flow of current; one of the most fundamental electronic components
Voltage
Forces that cause electrons to flow through a circuit; measured in volts
Ohm's Law
Gives relationship between voltage, current, and resistance in electronics
=/- 5%
Gold Percent Tolerance
I=V/R
If current is missing...
R=V/I
If resistance is missing
V=I*R
If voltage is missing...
Electric Current
Movement of millions of electrons through a wire; measured in amperes(amps)
=/- 2%
Red Percent Tolerance
+/- 10%
Silver Percent Tolerance
Electronics
Study and use of electrical device who's operation is controlled by the flow of electrons
Resistance
The opposition to current flow; measured in ohms
