ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT

Is a structure that directs and


controls electric current to perform
various functions including signal
amplification, computation, and
data transfer.
ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT
ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT
Component Testing

Is defined as a software
testing type, in which the
testing is performed on each
individual component
separately without integrating
with other components.
Common Electronic
Components
PASSIVE are components or device
which doesn’t generate voltage but
controls the current in an electronic circuit.
Ex. Resistor, Capacitor, Inductor, etc.
ACTIVE are the components which
generate, amplify and also control the
voltage and current in an electronic circuit.
Ex. Diode, Transistor, IC, etc.
Resistance and Resistors

Resistance means opposition


to some action. In electricity
resistance means the
opposition to the flow of
current.
Resistance and Resistors

• Measured in ohms (Ω)


• Expressed in kilo-ohms,
milli-ohms etc.
• The symbol of resistance
is shown as;
Functions of Resistor
A resistor is a passive two-terminal
electrical component that implements
electrical resistance as a circuit element.
In electronic circuits, resistors are used to
reduce current flow, adjust signal levels, to
divide the voltages, bias active elements,
and terminate transmission lines.
Resistor Color Code

Or how to read those little


resistors!
Resistor Color Code
1st band color gives 1st number

2nd band color gives 2nd number

3rd band color gives # of zeros

4th band color gives tolerance or ±


How to read it
 Resistors are color coded for easy
reading.
 To determine the value of a given
resistor look for the gold or silver
tolerance band and hold the resistor
with this band to the right.
 Then read the colored bands left to
right.
How to read it
 Look at the 1st color band and
determine its color. This maybe difficult
on small or oddly colored resistors.
Now look at the chart and match the
"1st & 2nd color band" color to the
"Digit it represents". Write this
number down.
How to read it
 Now look at the 2nd color band and match
that color to the same chart. Write this
number next to the 1st Digit.
 Match the 3rd color band with the chart
under multiplier. This is the number you will
multiple the other 2 numbers by. Write it
next to the other 2 numbers with a
multiplication sign before it.
How to read it
 Example:
 First color is red which is 2

 Second color is black which is 0

 Third color is yellow which is 10,000

 Tolerance is silver which is 10%

Therefore the equation is:


2 0 x 10,000 = 200,000 Ohms ± 10%
Resistor Color Code Chart
1st. & 2nd Color Band Digit it Represents -----Multiplier-----
BLACK 0 X1

BROWN 1 X10

RED 2 X100

ORANGE 3 X1,000 or 1K

YELLOW 4 X10,000 or 10K

GREEN 5 X100,000 or 100K

BLUE 6 X1,000,000 or 1M

VIOLET 7 Silver is divide by 100

GRAY 8 Gold is divide by 10


 Tolerances
 Gold= 5%
WHITE  9
 Silver=10%
 None=20%
How to remember the code
 Remember the color codes with this
sentence: Big Brown Rabbits Often
Yield Great Big Vocal Groans When
Gingerly Slapped.
K or M?
 Many resistors have large amounts of
resistance, so we use prefixes to have
a handy short name
 “k” is for kilo and means 1000 times
 “M” is for mega and means 1,000,000
times (million)
Practice
 If you have an
 Orange Orange Brown Gold resistor
 What is it’s resistance?
 The first orange means 3
 The second orange means 3
 The brown means 1 zero
 The gold means ± 5%
 So answer is 330 ohms ± 5%
Now you try
 Determine the resistance of each of
the 3 resistors you have
 Then do the Resistor Color Code
