Electronic Measurements
What is a voltmeter?
A device used to measure voltage.
A type of resistor that changes its resistance based on temperature.
What is a thermistor?
What are semiconductors?
Materials with electrical conductivity between conductors (like metals) and insulators (like rubber).
What is a motor?
A device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy
This component resists the flow of current.
resistor
What is an ammeter?
A device used to measure current
A type of diode that emits light when current flows through it
What is an LED (Light Emitting Diode)?
Name two common semiconductor materials
Silicon (Si) and Germanium (Ge)
A device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy
generator
This passive component stores electrical energy in an electric field
capacitor
A device used to measure resistance.
What is an ohmmeter?
The unit of electrical charge
What is the Coulomb?
What is a diode?
A semiconductor device that allows current flow in only one direction.
The binary digit, representing either a 0 or a 1.
bit
This semiconductor device amplifies electrical signals.
transistor
What is an analog signal?
A type of electronic signal that varies continuously
The unit of electrical resistance
What is the Ohm (Ω)?
What are electronic circuits?
Circuits that use semiconductor components
A group of eight bits
a byte
This law states that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it, provided all physical conditions and temperature remain constant.
Ohm's Law
What is a digital signal?
A type of electronic signal that uses discrete values
The unit of electrical capacitance
What is the Farad (F)?
What are insulators?
materials that electricity can't flow through
What is IC?
The abbreviation for Integrated Circuit
This unit measures electrical power
