Physics Test - Pt2

?
Electronic Systems
-come in three parts: Input - Process - Output
1 of 28
Input Devices
-convert one from of energy into electrical energy to be processed
2 of 28
Output Devices
-convert electrical energy into another form of energy, after being processed
3 of 28
Electronic Signals
-digital & analogue
4 of 28
Analogue
-wave pattern has many different values of voltage, -voltage changes over a set amount of tome
5 of 28
Digital
-has fixed values of voltage, -voltage is at one particular value for a set amount of time
6 of 28
Binary Signals
-a digital signal which is either on or off, ON = HIGH = 1, OFF = LOW = 0
7 of 28
Solar Cells
Input Device, light energy - electrical energy
8 of 28
Microphone
Input Device, sound energy - electrical energy
9 of 28
Thermocouple
Input Device, heat energy - electrical energy
10 of 28
Thermistor
-changes with temperature, increase in temp. gives a decrease in resistance TURD (Temp. Up Resistance Down)
11 of 28
LDR
-changes with light level, an increase in light level gives a decrease in resistance LURD (Light Up Resistance Down)
12 of 28
Loudspeaker
Output device, ANALOGUE, electrical energy - sound energy
13 of 28
Buzzer
Output device, DIGITAL, electrical energy - sound energy
14 of 28
Motor
Output device, ANALOGUE, electrical energy - kinetic energy
15 of 28
Solenoid
Output device, DIGITAL, electrical energy - kinetic energy
16 of 28
Lamp
Output device, ANALOGUE, electrical energy - light energy
17 of 28
LED (Light Emitting Diode)
Output device, DIGITAL, electrical energy - light energy
18 of 28
NOT Gate
-inverts the input, used when opposite output is needed
19 of 28
AND Gate
-needs two HIGH inputs to be ON, used when an output comes on with both inputs on
20 of 28
OR Gate
-needs only one HIGH input to be ON, used when an output comes on with either input on
21 of 28
Magnetic Materials
-naturally magnetic materials are made from iron, cobalt or nickel
22 of 28
Magnetic Poles
-opposite poles will attract each other, similar poles will repel each other
23 of 28
Electromagnetism
-forcing electrical charges to move through an electric field will produce a magnetic field
24 of 28
Electromagnets
-can be made by winding a conducting wire around an iron core and passing an electrical current along the wire
25 of 28
Increasing the strength of an electromagnet
-increasing the number of coils of wires around the iron nail or increasing the voltage
26 of 28
Advantages of an electromagnet
-they can be switched on an doff, the strength can be changed
27 of 28
Uses of Electromagnets
-electric bells, relay switch
