Resistance

Resistance

If water is moving through a hose, we say that it has FLOW. If we restrict the flow, by pinching the hose, we are causing friction at the point of restriction. This friction can be said, is resistance to the flow of the water. Electricity, according to Benjamin...

Resistance

Resistor Color Codes

Example for a Carbon 22000 Ohms or 22 KiloOhms also known as 22K at 5% tolerance: Band 1 = Red, 1st digit Band 2 = Red, 2nd digit Band 3 = Orange, 3rd digit, multiply with zeros, in this case 3 zero's Band 4 = Gold, Tolerance, 5% Example for a Precision Metal Film...

Ohm’s Law

Ohm’s Law

We have already discussed current, resistance, and voltage. Now we shall discuss the important relationship that exists between the three. Around 1840, German physicist Georg Ohm noted that there was a distinct mathematical relationship between Voltage, current and...

Resonance

Resonance

In this circuit, we have a resistor, a capacitor, and a coil in series. Because the coil and the capacitor act in an opposite manner, they tend to cancel each other out. We say that the coil is additive, and the cap is subtractive in nature. If the inductive...

Conductors & Insulators

Conductors & Insulators

Conductor is the name assigned to a broad catagory of materials through which a practical amount of electric current can flow under normal conditions. Most conductors are metallic. The usefulness of metal to conduct electric current stems from the abundance of free...

Phase

Phase

Phase is the timing relationship between two different sine waves. If two generators are connected across a given load in series, and if their armatures begin rotating together at exactly the same time and speed, two different alternating voltages will be produced. In...

Inductors

Inductors

No matter which way we turn or twist the wire, the left hand rule applies. But what happens if we put a loop in the wire? When the wire is looped, as you will see from the on the right, the little magnetic fields that wrap around the wire cross through each other's...

Alternating Current

Alternating Current

There are various ways to produce electricity. We can produce electricity chemically with a battery or electricity can be produced mechanically by a generator. It is important understand difference between electricity produced by a battery, and electricity produced by...

Glossary of Electronics terms

Glossary of Electronics terms

AMPLITUDE: The magnitude of change in a varying quantity from it's zero value. Usually measured in Voltage, or deciBels, can denote volume. ATOM: The smallest particle of an element that shares the properties of that element. They consist of ELECTRONS, PROTONS, and...

Weather Station coming up

  We will be installing a weather station in this area. You will be able to see local temperature, humidity, wind direction and wind speed.

Maxwell’s Equations

Quantities and units. Electricity is a difficult substance to appreciate with the human senses. About the only way you get a feeling for it is to moisten the tongue and apply it between the terminals of a 9 volt battery. Of course, you get more idea if you are...

Semiconductors: Diodes and Transistors

Semiconductors: Diodes & Transistors In the early days of electricity there were only two groups of material: insulators and conductors. Insulators are matters, which do not allow the flow of electric current through them. Glass, porcelain, dry air and dry wood...

FM Detector

FM stands for Frequency Modulation. It means that the RF-frequency will change according to the input audio signal. Example: A FM radio signal at 105.1MHz will not be exactly stable at 105.1MHz, The audio signal in the RF will modulate (change) the frequency for about...

Single Side Band – SSB – Part 2

Single Sideband Suppressed Carrier (SSB-SC): Single Sideband Suppressed Carrier (SSB-SC) modulation was the basis for all long distance telephone communications up until the last decade. It was called "L carrier." It consisted of groups of telephone conversations...

Single Side Band – SSB – Part 1

What is Single Side-band? Before you can understand what SSB is, you must understand how audio is transmitted via radio waves. The method by which audio is impressed on a radio signal is called modulation. The two types of modulation that most people are familiar with...

Quad Amplitude Modulation

Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM)- Brief Discussion I & Q modulation, A.K.A., QAM, is a method for sending two separate (and uniquely different) channels of information. As you know, the carrier is shifted to create two carriers: sin and cos versions. The two...

Modulation Demodulation

Modulation/Demodulation is a Nonlinear Process where Two Sinusoids are Multiplied (F1 x F2). The Product of this Multiplication--in the Time Domain--is a wave whose Amplitude is: a(X) = a(F1) X a(F2). However, in the Frequency Domain there is an Addition and...
