Electronics All Around Us

Terminologies

Circuits - composed of electronic components in which electrons can flow Sensors - detects changes in the environment, stores the info and sends it to other electronic components Actuators - converts any type of energy (in this topic, electrical energy) into mechanical energy Transformers - a passive electrical component that transfers electrical energy from one circuit to another ciruit. In AC, transformers lower voltage by increasing current or increases voltage by lowering the current

How to solve Impedance, Phase Angle, Reactance using a Calculator

Presumably should use a fx-991ES or fx-570ES Calculator from experience

Circuit Formulas - useful in education

AC vs DC

Alternating current (AC) and Direct Current (DC) are 2 ways to transmit electricity to homes. Learn their difference here. MIT Engineering Source An alternating current is a current who alternates back and forth through the wires while a DC current is a current whose flow is uni-directional.
