SEC-S19/W1 | Introduction to basic electronics

Hello, everyone! Today, I am here to present my assignments regarding the Electronics Academy. Electronics is an extremely interesting branch of Physics and Engineering related to lower voltages and intensities, due to semiconductor elements.

In our first lesson, we learned the basic components together with their symbols. We have worked on the symbols for connected and not-connected wires, then the plus and minus terminals. Attached to this workshop 1, I have drawn various component symbols such as a resistor, diodes, and capacitors, among others.

In Workshop 2, I have defined important terms like Alternating Voltage and Transistors. Next, Workshop 3 has the identification of numerous resistors, capacitors, and more. Last but not least identification of various components .

Types of Components

Here's the identification of the electronic components on the circuit board, color-coded as in the image:

1. Transformer:

   • Green Color Box: The yellow component with black edges in the green box is a transformer. It is used to transfer electrical energy between two or more circuits through electromagnetic induction.

2. Inductor:

   • Red Color Box: The component with copper coils in the red box is an inductor. It stores energy in a magnetic field when electrical current flows through it.

3. Capacitor:

   • Yellow Color Box: The green cylindrical component in the yellow box is an electrolytic capacitor. It stores electrical energy temporarily and is used in power supply circuits to smooth out voltage fluctuations.

4. Diode:

   • Light Green Color Box: The small black component in the light green box is a diode. It allows current to flow in one direction only and is used for rectification.

5. Transistor:

   • Dark Blue Color Box: The small black component with three leads in the dark blue boxes are transistors. They are used to amplify or switch electronic signals.

6. Fuse:

   • Magenta Color Box: The small blue cylindrical component in the magenta box is a fuse. It protects the circuit by breaking the connection if the current exceeds a certain level.

7. IC (Integrated Circuit):

   • Purple Color Box: The component in the purple box with multiple legs is an integrated circuit. It contains multiple electronic components such as transistors, resistors, and capacitors in a single package.

Each of these components plays a crucial role in the functionality of the circuit.

Take a look in this image ,

1. Yellow Color Box:
   • Component: Resistor
   • Explanation: The component in the yellow box is a surface-mount resistor. The marking "2R0" indicates its resistance value is 2 ohms. Resistors like these are used to limit current flow, divide voltages, and dissipate power in electrical circuits.

1. Red Color Box:
   • Component: Integrated Circuit (IC)
   • Explanation: The component in the red box is an integrated circuit. ICs have a number of electronic elements—transistors, resistors, capacitors—put together in one package and can implement many functions depending upon their design. Specifically, the IC shown in this figure will also perform the operation related to signal processing or control in the circuit.

1. Green Color Box:

• Component: Surface-Mount Resistors
• Description: The components in the green box are surface-mount resistors. Markings on these two resistors, "20R0" and "1R20," provide the resistance value for each: 20 ohms and 1.2 ohms, respectively. These resistors will be present in current limiting and voltage division in a circuit.

There is an important contribution from each of these components toward the functionality and stability of an electronic circuit.

Finally, I would like to extend an invitation to a few friends to participate in this contest if they haven't already. I encourage @harferri, @shahid76, and @saintkelin76 to share their entries.
