Chapter 17 Diodes, continued Section 1 Electronic Devices

Chapter 17 Diodes, continued Using Diodes to Change AC to DC Power plants send electrical energy to homes by means of alternating current (AC). But many things, such as radios, use direct current (DC). Diodes can help change AC to DC by blocking current in one direction. Section 1 Electronic Devices

Chapter 17 Transistors A transistor is a semiconductor device that can amplify current and that is used in amplifiers, oscillators, and switches. Transistors as Amplifiers A microphone does not make a current that is large enough to run a loudspeaker. But a transistor can be used in an amplifier to make a larger current. The next slide explains how. Section 1 Electronic Devices

Chapter 17 Section 1 Electronic Devices

Chapter 17 Transistors, continued Transistors in Switches Remotecontrolled toy cars use transistors in switches. When a manual switch in a circuit is closed, a small current is made in the small loop. The small current causes the transistor to close the large loop. As a result, a larger current is made in the large loop. The larger current runs the motor. Section 1 Electronic Devices

Chapter 17 Integrated Circuit An integrated circuit is an entire circuit that has many components on a single semiconductor. Many complete circuits can fit into one integrated circuit. So, complicated electronic systems can be made very small. Before transistors and semiconductor diodes were made, vacuum tubes were used. But vacuum tubes are much larger than semiconductor components are. They also get hotter and dont last as long. Section 1 Electronic Devices
