Electricity and electronic principle
Static electricity and its history

The origin of human knowledge of electricity can be estimated to be from 600 BC, when Greek philosopher Thales discovered that, amber can attract light objects by rubbing. And the name electricity comes from “electron”, the Greek word for amber.
Attracting light objects with amber

Creating static electricity in objects by rubbing was experienced until the end of 18 century by many scientists including “Otto von Guericke”. In those experiments, they realized that: some of the objects have the Property of attracting or repelling other objects by rubbing. In other words, they can apply force to each other. Existence of the force is because of the existence of «Electrical load» in objects. That’s why it’s called «Electric force».

Coulomb's law:
The reason of force existence between 2 loaded objects can be justified like this: there is an »Electric field« around each loaded object and even though it can’t be seen by the eyes, it’s real. For the first time a French physicist, “Coulomb” could experimentally measure the force between loaded objects in 1785. He also got a relation for the force amount which is:

Force between 2 loaded particles depends on load amount of each one, distance between 2 loads and also environment material that the 2 loaded particle are in.
Electrical load unit is called Coulomb and it is equivalent to electrical load of 6.24 * 1018 electron.
Coulomb. -1.6*10-19 An electron is approximately equals to
The negative sign next to the number (-1.6) doesn't have any effect on its amount and it’s only to show the negative load of electron.

Categorizing objects:
:Objects in nature are electrically divided into three categories

A: Insulator or non-conductor: The objects in which there are no free electrons. Glass, Mica, Rubber and Wood are among them. Electricity in those objects are static and they stay (static) at one point

Glass

Mica


B: Conductor: The objects that have a large number of free electrons, such as copper, silver and aluminum. The generated electricity is uniformly distributed over the metal surface due to the ability of the electrical load to move in the metal.
Aluminum bars

Copper cables


C: Semiconductor: The objects that are electrically between conductors and insulators. In other words, they are the elements that have 4 electrons in their outer shell of atom. Like silicon and germanium:
Molecular structure of silicon

Germanium Transistor


Current electricity: In 1799, Italian physicist Alessandro Volta was able to generate electricity by his own voltaic pile and send a continuous current in the wires. He called this electricity "current electricity".

:Electric current intensity
:The amount of electrical load changes in time unit is called electric current. Which is calculated with the formula bellow







If the movement of electrons is uniformly in a steady direction in the wire, the current is called D.C and its amount is calculated with the formula below.






t: Time in terms of second
Amount of electrical load in terms of Coulomb q:
I: Electric current in terms of Ampere


The number of electrons that pass from a point of circuit determines the amount of current flow from the circuit. The higher the number of the electrons, the more the “current flow”.


Amperage definition: An ampere is electric current of wire and one Coulomb electrical load (6.24*1018 electron) flows from its specific section surface in one second.
Electric current is represented by the Latin letter I (the first letter of Intensity) and its unit is indicated by A ampere. The smaller amperage units are: One thousandth of ampere=1mA and One millionth of amp=1μA.

m= milli
μ=micro

Resistance
The concept of Electrical resistance
The electrical resistance
is a factor that prevents the flow of electric current. The resistor is represented by the Latin letter R (the first letter of Resistance) and its unit is in terms of ohm with the Latin letter Ω
Larger ohm units

One thousand ohm= one Kilo Ohm= 1KΩ
One million ohm= one Mega Ohm= 1MΩ


Voltage
The concept of voltage

The potential difference between two points of circuit is the amount of energy that electrical load consumes to move from one point to another.



v: Voltage in terms of volt
w: Energy in terms of Joule
q: Electrical load in terms of Coulomb


Definition of Volt: one volt is the potential difference of two points of circuit. When one Coulomb electrical load (6.24*1018 electron)consumes one joule energy while moving from those two points, it would be one volt. Voltage is represented by Latin letter V (first letter of voltage) and its unit is indicated in terms of V volt.

Ohm’s Law
when current intensity I flows from resistor R, the potential difference V will be created in both sides of the resistor, and the amount is obtained :by the following formula



This law is named after its discoverer Georg Ohm.


Ohm triangle:

The resulting relationships of Ohm's law:











Concept of electric power
The work which is done in a time unit is called electric power which is obtained from the following relation:

P: Electric power in terms of watt
w: Energy in terms of Joule
t: Time in terms of second

.Electric power is represented by Latin letter P (first letter of Power) and its unit is indicated in terms of W watt

Allowed power, is the maximum power that a device can tolerate. The resulting relationships of power formula:




:As a result, the final formula of power is as follows


?Problem 1: What is resistance of a 100 watt light bulb




?Problem 2: What happens if we connect a 100 watt with 110 volt light bulb to a 220 volt power

P1=100w
V1=110v
V2=220V


:First solution: First, we calculate the resistance of the light bulb









The bulb burns due to quadrupled (4 times of) power


:Second solution: We calculate the allowed current of the bulb


.Bulb burns because current is doubled
Result: resistors burn, in case power and current intensity raise from the allowed limit


.Problem 3: Calculate the resistance of a 1000 watt electric heater compared to a 200 watt bulb

V=220v
P1=1000w
P2=200w


.Bulb resistance is 5 times of heater resistance
.Result: The higher the power of the consumer devices, the lower their resistance


?Problem 4: how much ampere does a 3300 watt air conditioner use

P=3300w
V=220v
I=?


Air conditioner uses 15 ampere (the current)
Resistor


🅰 types of resistors in terms of placement on PCB circuits

A) SMD or SMT
(Surface Mount Device (SMD
Surface Mount Technology (SMT)

They are placed on the surface.



B) PTH
Plated Through Hole (PTH)

Placing pin through a hole.













B: types of resistors in terms of usage on circuits
Fixed resistors 2. Adjustable Resistors 3. Variable Resistors 4. Array Resistors 5. Printed Carbon Resistors .1


Fixed Resistors
Fixed Resistors:

These resistors are divided into 2 types in terms of production (1- Wire wound 2- Composition)


A) Wire Wound Resistor
Types of wire wound resistors divide into Cement-Clay-Chinese resistors depending on their insulation. There is coil inside them. Wires are usually made of alloys (nickel-copper) / (nickel-chromium) / (nickel-chromium-aluminum)
.Wire wound resistors have lower ohm and higher power compared to composition ones and their size (Wire wound resistors) is also bigger


B) Composition
Composition Resistors include 1- Carbon composition Resistors 2- Carbon film Resistor 3- Metal film Resistor 4- Metal oxide film Resistor


Carbon composition Resistors: carbonic compositions (mixture of carbon powder) is formed (formwork) as dough with resin andresistant materials, and cooked in a furnace and covered with insulator. These resistors are small in size with high resistance but low tolerance, from one
fourth watts to two watts


Carbon film Resistor: This type of resistor is made of sedimentation of a thin layer of carbon on a ceramic bar, and groves will be created on the resistor for increasing its amount, then the set is covered with insulator



Metal film Resistor: This type of resistor is made on glass material bar and a thin layer of gold, platinum and silver (metals) is covered on it and then grooves will be created on the layer. The disadvantages of these resistors are expensiveness and power limitation (1 watt)
Metal oxide film resistor: This type of resistor is somehow like the metal film resistor, with a difference that, tin and antimony metal oxides are used instead of metal cover

Adjustable resistors: (knobs)
These resistors are used in radio, Television and audio devices as adjustable resistors (manually) in order to turn up and down volume or adjust brightness which are usually carbonic and wire types are used in high power
:Types of these resistors are
Potentiometer: A potentiometer is used to change the voltage



Rheostat: it is used to change the resistance



Trimmer: Instead of a moving handle, it has a groove which should be adjusted with a screwdriver





The way these resistors work is that they have two fixed and one variable pins. The resistance amount between the two fixed pins (2 side pins), which in fact determines the potentiometer’s amount, is a fixed amount. While the resistance between the pin in the middle and either of the side pins can be changed by a revolving axis (knob handle)

Variable Resistors (Varistor)
These types of resistors change without mechanical actions and they change under factors such as voltage, heat, light and magnetism, and are divided on the same basis
Symbolic circuit of Varistor


A) Voltage Dependent Resistor (VDR)
This type of resistor’s resistance changes depending on the amount of applied voltage and it is used to keep the voltage fixed in a point of circuit and its resistance decreases when voltage increases



B) Thermal Resistor (Thermistor)
:It is divided into two categories

Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC)-
.A thermistor with positive thermal coefficient’s resistance amount increases when heat increases


.The impedance written on these resistors is measured at 25 degrees Celsius

Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC)-
A thermistor with negative thermal coefficient’s resistance amount decreases when heat increases and is made of various oxides Fe2O3, MnO2, NiO. To neutralize undesirable changes of the currents and voltages of the elements by heat, it is used as thermostat to prevent the temperature from rising and to prevent the very high instantaneous current intensity and..




C: Light Dependent Resistor (LDR)
.Resistance amount decreases due to the intensity of light. And its main material is cadmium sulfide


:D: Magnetic Dependent Resistor (MDR)
The resistance amount of these resistors changes by applying the magnetic field, in a way that, by increasing the field, their ohm amount decreases





..E: There are other variable resistors which their resistance amount changes by humidity, gas

Array or Network resistors
The array resistor actually contains a set of several resistors inside a package, which are available both in SMD and PTH, and the internal resistance amounts are all equal. In logic circuits, they are being used to pull up and pull down the inputs and outputs, they are also used in LED circuits.
In SMD type, pins across from each other make separated resistors and they don’t have common pin
In the PTH type, a pin (which is marked) is the common pin, and each of the other pins make a resistor with the common pin.


Printed carbon resistors

These resistors are carbon mix type and are printed directly on fiber layers of PCB circuit. This type of resistor’s tolerance (error percentage) is high (even up to 30%) and it can’t be replaced




Detecting resistance amount from color bands

:How to read resistance amount from the numeric and letter codes

:Ohm and tolerance and even the allowed power (maximum power) of resistors are written on them. Such as
15Ω 10% 2W
15ohm 2 watts resistor with 10% tolerance

K= 10٪
M= 20٪

















Concept of the tolerance (error percentage) of resistor:
In the factory production line, making each resistor is associated with error. The accurate the resistor, the less its error percentage (tolerance). When resistor tolerance is said to be 5%, its amount will be calculated as follows

Error percentage+-resistance amount in terms of ohm
For example, a 10KΩ resistor with 10% error is calculated like this
10%+-10000=10KΩ
10%of 10000 is 1000, so the resistor can vary from 9000Ω to 11000Ω
10000-1000=9000Ω
10000+1000=11000Ω


Standard amounts of resistors
Several base numbers have been selected as standard from one tens of resistance (eg, 0 to 10 ohm) for example, in standard E6, six base numbers (1- 1.5- 2.2- 3.3-4.7-6.8) are the existing resistances of the standard. Letter E is taken from beginning of the word European. You can see the full chart of standards below
