S&T Circuits and Signals,U4-5.

The document explains the concepts of closed and open circuits, highlighting that a closed circuit allows current to flow while an open circuit does not. It also discusses the differences between analog and digital signals, including their forms, components, and susceptibility to noise. Additionally, it covers various wave types, key vocabulary related to circuits and signals, and definitions of terms like frequency, amplitude, and duty cycle.

CIRCUITS

Book 2, Unit 4
WHAT IS THE
OPPOSITE OF
A CLOSED
CIRCUIT?
ANSWER

The opposite of a closed


circuit is an open circuit.
WHAT IS
ONE
PROBLEM
THAT CAN
AFFECT
CIRCUITS?
ANSWER

• A short circuit is one


problem that can affect
circuits.
KEY VOCABULARY

CLOSED/ OPEN

• If a circuit is closed, the current can travel from one end of the power source to
the other. A circuit needs to be closed in order to work.

• If a circuit is open, there is a break in it that stops current from flowing from
one end of the power source to the other.
IN PARALLEL/ If a circuit is in parallel,
several components are
IN SERIES joined across the power
source's two terminals. This
essentially splits the current
flow.
If a circuit is in series, the
current has to pass through a
first circuit component,
before it is able to pass
through a second or third
one.
LEG/ ORIGIN

• A leg is a section of an electrical circuit.


• An origin is the place where something
starts to exist. In a circuit, the origin is the
place where current comes from.
SHORTED/
WIRE If something is shorted, it causes current to skip
over part of a circuit and travel to the other end of
the power source.

To wire something is to link together long, thin


threads of metal inside a piece of electrical
equipment.
STAGES/
RESERVOIRS A stage is a part of an electronics product that does
one job.

A reservoir is something that can store energy. It is


used to keep voltage even.
RECTIFIED/ ACTIVE ELEMENTS

To rectify is to correct a problem. When An active element is a part of an


current is rectified, it is changed into a electronics product that is able to
current with one polarity. create energy.
SIGNALS

BOOK 2, UNIT 5
WHAT ARE
SOME
TYPES OF
SIGNALS?
Analog signals

ANSWER and digital signals


are two types of
signals.
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ANALOG AND
DIGITAL SIGNALS
ANALOG SIGNALS DIGITAL SIGNALS
Analog signal is continuous and time Digital signal have two or more states and in
varying. binary form.
An analog signal is usually in the form of An digital signal is usually in the form of
sine wave. square wave.
Components like resistors, Capacitors, Components like transistors, logic gates,
Inductors, Diodes are used in analog circuits. and micro-controllers are used in Digital
circuits.
Analog signals can be affected by noise Digital signals can not be affected by noise
during transmission during transmission
Analog signals are stored in the form of Digital signals are stored in the form of
continuous wave form binary bits ‘’0’’, ‘’1’’
WHAT ARE
SOME TYPES OF
WAVES?
ANSWER

• Sine waves, square waves and sawtooth waves are some types of waves.
KEY VOCABULARY

Sawtoot
Analog Digital h wave

Frequen
cy
Cycle Fall time
ANALOG TO DIGITAL CONVERTER

• It is a device that changes analog information into digital information.


ANALOG/ DIGITAL

• If a signal is analog, it uses signals that change


the voltage to form a pattern, which is similar to
the data being sent.
• If something is digital, it uses signals that are
based on the binary numbers of 0 and 1. Digital
signals are easier to track and store than analog
ones.
SAWTOOTH WAVE

• A sawtooth wave is a type of wave that forms a pattern


like that found on the blade of a saw.
FREQUENCY/ CYCLE

• Frequency is the amount of cycles that take


place in one second of time. It is measured in
hertz (Hz), an international unit of measure
where 1 hertz is equal to 1 cycle per second.
• A cycle is one repetition of a waveform.
FALL TIME/
RISE TIME
• The fall time is the
amount of time it takes for
the transition to fall from
ninety percent to ten
percent of its final height.
• The rise time is the
amount of time it takes for
the transition to rise from
ten percent to ninety
percent of its final height.
AMPLITUDE/ SIGNAL

• Amplitude is the distance between the middle and the bottom or top of an
electrical wave.
• An electronic signal is a signal that carries information between two pieces of
electronic equipment.
HARMONIC ENERGY/ DUTY CYCLE

• Harmonic energy is sounds that are made at multiples of the same frequency
as a base noise.
• A duty cycle is the percentage of time spent in the “on” state in relation to the
“off” state. The ’’on’’ state and ‘’off’’ state is referring to when a component or
device is in operation and not in operation.
SINE WAVE/ SQUARE WAVE

• A sine wave is a type of smooth wave that has a pure tone. It can be used to
show the strength of an alternating current.
• A square wave is a type of wave made by repeatedly and quickly turning a
signal all the way on and then all the way off.
PHASE RELATIONSHIP/ WAVEFORM

• A phase relationship is the relative position in time of two different signals. It


is shown in degrees.
• A waveform is a signal, as shown on a graph.
