Basic electricity concepts
Cards in this deck (19)
- 1transducerstranslate electricity into stuff
- 2sensorstranslate stuff into electricity
- 3actuatorstransform electricity into other forms of energy
- 4circuitsclosed loops of wire through which electricity moves
- 5the flow of electricityelectricity moves from a point of high potential energy to a point of low potential energy
- 6direct currentonly flows in one direction
- 7alternative currentflows in both direction 50-60 times/sec
- 8currentamount of electrical charge flowing past a certain point in the circuit
- 9amperesA : the unit for electric current
- 10voltagedifference in energy between two points in the circuit
- 11voltsV : unit of measurement for voltage
- 12resistancehow much components resist the flow of electric current
- 13ohms*greek omega* : the unit of measurement for resistance
- 14paralel circuitscomponents in the circuit run side by side
- 15series circuitcomponents run one after another
- 16ohm's lawvoltage is equal to current times resitance
- 17resistance color codesfirst two or three show digits, the next one shows the power of ten to multiply with and the last one shows the tolerance
- 18Serialconnection between arduino and pc,
begin() starts connection with given bitrate/s
print() prints stuff to the serial monitor - 19sensor datasheetscan be used to translate sensorvalues into other things depending on the sensor
