ELECTRONICAL SYMBOLS AND TERMS

electronical symbols

Resister:An electrical device which resists current flow regardless of frequency. Basic unit of measurement is Ohm.

Capacitor: A pair of parallel "plates" separated by an insulator (the dielectric). It stores an electric charge, and tends to pass higher frequencies more readily than low frequencies. Does not pass direct current, and acts as an insulator. Electrically it is the opposite to an inductor. Basic unit of measurement is the Farad, but is typically measured in micro-farads (uF = 1 x 10-6F) or nano-farads (nF - 1 x 10-9 F)

Diode: A semiconductor device that essentially acts as a one-way switch for current. It allows current to flow easily in one direction, but severely restricts current from flowing in the opposite direction.

Transistor: A miniature semiconductor that regulates or controls current or voltage flow in addition amplifying and generating these electrical signals and acting as a switch/gate for them.

Cell: one section of a battery.

electronical symbols

Ground: A reference point that carries a voltage of 0V. Voltage measurements are relative measurements.

Fuse: A safety device that operates to provide overcurrent protection of an electrical circuit.

Circuit Breaker: A switch that automatically interrupts the current of an overloaded electric circuit, ground faults, or short circuits.

Inductor: A coil of wire which exhibits a resistance to any change of amplitude or direction of current flow through itself. Inductance is inherent in any conductor, but is "concentrated" by winding into a coil. An inductor tends to pass low frequencies more readily than high frequencies. Electrically it is the opposite of a capacitor. Basic unit of measurement is the Henry (H), in crossover networks it will typically be measured in milli-henrys (mH = 1 x 10-3H) and for RF micro-henrys (uH) are common.

Transformer: A passive component that transfers electrical energy from one electrical circuit to another circuit, or multiple circuits. It steps up or steps down voltage.

Relay: A switch that uses electromagnetism to convert small electrical stimuli into larger currents.

Generator: A machine which transforms mechanical energy or magnetic energy into electric energy.

??? task "weekly assignment"

Check out the weekly assignment [here](http://fabricademy.fabcloud.io/handbook/assessment/criteria/#5-e-textiles) or login to your [NuEval](http://nueval.fabacademy.org) progress and evaluation page.

??? tip "about your images..delete the tip!!"

1. Remember to credit/reference all your images to their authors. Open source helps us create change faster together, but we all deserve recognition for what we make, design, think, develop.

2. remember to resize and optimize all your images. You will run out of space and the more data, the more servers, the more cooling systems and energy wasted :) make a choice at every image :)

This image is optimised in size with resolution 72 and passed through tinypng for final optimisation.
_**Remove tips when you don't need them anymore!**_

??? bug "get inspired!"

??? tip "footnote fabrication files"

_Fabrication files_ are a necessary element for evaluation. You can add the _fabrication files_ at the bottom of the page and simply link them as a footnote. This was your work stays organised and files will be all together at the bottom of the page. Footnotes are created using [ ^ 1 ] (without spaces, and referenced as you see at the last chapter of this page) You can reference the fabrication files to multiple places on your page as you see for footnote nr. 2 also present in the Gallery.

Code Example

Use the three backticks to separate code.

// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board
void setup() {
  // initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output.
  pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}

// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);   // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
  delay(1000);                       // wait for a second
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);    // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
  delay(1000);                       // wait for a second
}
