Reading value: Step 1:

If your resistor has four color bands, turn the resistor so that the gold or silver band is on the right handside or the end with more bands should point left.

Step 2:

The first band is now on the left hand side. This represents the first digit. Based on the color make a noteof the digit. In this case- 4 band its ‘5’ and for 5 band its ‘2’.

Step 3:

The second band represents the second digit. The colors represents the same numbers as did the firstdigit. In this case- 4 band its ‘6’ and for 5 band its ‘3’.Step 4:

The third band divulgues how many zeros to add/divide to the first two numbers – for a 4 band resistor.In this case- 4 band its ‘4’ zeros to be added. So value is 560K.

Step 5:

The third band denotes the 3rd digit – for a 5 band resistor. In this case -5 band its ‘7’. So the value of the5 band resistor is 237 Ohms as its multiplier digit is ‘0’.

Tolerance:

The last band denotes the tolerance. So the value of the 4 band resistor it is +/- 1%.

Tolerance of a resistor is also an important property to consider A 100 Ohm resistor with a 10 % tolerance can mean its value can be any fixed value between 90

to 110 Ohms A 120 Ohm resistor with a 10 % tolerance can mean its value can be any fixed value between 108

and 132 Ohms So there is some overlap between 100 Ohm and 120 Ohm resistance in terms of its limits.

5. Identify the value and type of capacitor6. Determine the polarity of terminals

What is a capacitor?

A capacitor is an electronic component which has a wide range of uses in various circuits due to theirability to store charge.

There are several types of capacitors which will vary in its construction but all will function in the similarway

Construction of capacitor:

The basic construction of all capacitor is that it consists of two parallel metal plates separated by aninsulating medium (dielectric). An insulator is a medium which is non- conducting i.e. it shows highresistance to the path of letting to electric current flow through it.

For a capacitor the simplest type of capacitor used is air. Other types are oil or paper. Real capacitors aremade by taking thin strips of metal foil and the appropriate dielectric medium and sandwiching them.Capacitor achieves large area (thus large capacitance) by taking a large area of foil sandwiching theinsulating medium and rolling them in form of a cylinder. Capacitor is so called because of its capacity tostore energy. Capacitor are marked by a value indicating its capacitance i.e. their ability to store charge.Capacitance can be thought of as the electrical capacity of the body. It is measured in Farads.

Maximum working voltage:

If the voltage across the capacitor plates is too high the insulator between the plates fails to insulate andcharge passes from one plate to another. Capacitors are usually marked with the working voltage to avoidthis situation. A good thumb rule is that never place a voltage to the capacitor which exceed two third ofits maximum voltage especially in alternating current circuits.

Function of capacitor:

Consider a circuit set up i.e the capacitor is connected inseries with the ammeter and the switch is closed.

The ammeter will show

1. Steady state reading2. A reading of zero3. Flip back and forth4. Flip on one side and come back to zero.

Now let us extend this by using a galvanometer on bothsides of the capacitor and using a two way switch

If the switch is connected to ‘p’ then

1. Neither moves2. Both flick briefly to left3. Both flick briefly to right4. They flick briefly in opposite directions

Now if the switch is connected to the ‘o’ terminal:

1. Neither moves2. Both flick briefly to left3. Both flick briefly to right4. They flick briefly in opposite directions

If instead of first moving it to ‘p’ if it’s moved to ‘o’then it might be the possibilities as mentioned above.

From the behavior of the ammeter needle it suggests that the current first flows in one way and then itflows in the other direction when the switch is moved from ‘p’ to ‘o’

So this suggests that

1. Equal amount of current flows off from one plate to the other2. More charge flows of from plate A onto B3. More charge flows of from plate B onto A4. No charge flows at all

Charging and discharging of capacitor:

We can say that capacitor is charged when connected to P and discharged when connected to terminal O

Charging:

The plate of the capacitor that is connected to the negative terminal of the battery accepts electrons thatthe battery is producing. The plate of the capacitor that is connected to the positive terminal of the batteryloses electrons to the battery. Once it is charged, the capacitor has the same voltage as that of the battery.

Let us connect a battery a light bulb and a capacitor in series. What are the possibilities that are about tohappen?

1. The bulb will glow as long as the battery is connected2. It will never glow3. It will first glow and then dimming of slowly and then finally turns off

If we then remove the battery and replace it with a wire, current will flow one plate of the capacitor to theother. The bulb will glow initially and then dim as the capacitor discharges, until it is completely out.

A static description of a capacitor behavior is understood by the expression

Q = CV where Q is the total charge, C signifies how big the capacitor is and V is the voltage across it.

The dynamic description i.e. the one which changes with time is given by the equation.

I = dV/dt

This is just time derivative of static description, ‘C’ is theconstant with respect to time and ‘I’ is the rate at which chargeflows.

This essentially shows that the bigger the current the faster thecapacitor’s voltage changes.

Analogy:

Think of capacitor as a tub that can hold charge. A tub of largediameter (C), holds a lot of water (Q) for a given height (V). Ifwe fill the tub with a thin straw (small I) then water level –V-

Familiarization of inductor:

Learning Objectives:

Explain function of inductor Explain the factors influencing inductance

Function of an inductor:

The function of a value is to control the amount of fluid thatflows through a pipe.

In an electric circuit, the resistor is used to control the amount ofcurrent that flows through a conductor.

Another device that controls the current is the inductor:

However unlike the resistor that affects the current uniformly at alltimes, the inductor only affects currents when they are changing invalue.

Similarity with capacitor:

Rate of change of voltage in a capacitor depends upon thecurrent through it

Rate of change of current in an inductor depends upon thevoltage applied across it.

Like capacitive current, inductive current is not simplyproportional to voltage.

Unlike the situation in a resistor, the power associated withinductive current (V times I) is not turned into heat but is stored as energy in the inductor’smagnetic field.

V = L*dI/dt, Where, L is the inductance and is measured in henry.

Putting a voltage across an inductor causes the current to rise as a ramp. 1 volt across 1 henry produced a current that increases at 1 amp per second

Structure of an Inductor:

It consists of a wire wound as a coil around a core. The core may consist of a air filled hollow tube orsolid material.

Inductance:

The amount of inductance in henries a coil has, is determined by the following factors:

Inductive Kick:

An inductor is capable of producing a momentary voltage that is muchhigher than the voltage of the power source that supplied the current tocreate its magnetic field. This temporary voltage is called an inductivekick.

Example of applications of inductive devices to provide an inductivekick is a combustion engine ignition system that creates the sparkacross the gap of the spark plug.

Bipolar junction transistor (To study the VI characteristics of Bipolar junction transistor)

CB configuration:

Learning Objective:- To plot the transistor characteristics of CB configuration.

THEORY:

In this configuration the base is made common to both the input and out. The emitter is given theinput and the output is taken across the collector. The current gain of this configuration is lessthan unity. The voltage gain of CB configuration is high. Due to the high voltage gain, the powergain is also high. In CB configuration, Base is common to both input and output. In CBconfiguration the input characteristics relate IE and VEB for a constant VCB. Initially let VCB =0 then the input junction is equivalent to a forward biased diode and the characteristics resemblesthat of a diode. Where VCB = +VI (volts) due to early effect IE increases and so thecharacteristics shifts to the left. The output characteristics relate IC and VCB for a constant IE.Initially increased IC also increases. proportionality. Though increase in VCB remains a constantfor all values of VCB once it levels off.
