Theory of Electrons

Principles of Electrons:

Electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom at certain distances from the nucleus. Electrons near the nucleus have less energy than those in more distant orbits.

Bohr’s Atomic Theory of an atom

An atom consist of a nucleus in which it consist of a neutron and a proton in which electrons orbit around it.

Shells of an Atom

In an atom, orbits are group into energy bands know as shells. Each shell has a fixed maximum number of electrons at permissible energy levels. The shells are designated as K,L,M,N, and so on. The outermost shell is know as valence shell and the electrons in this shell are called valence electrons. These valence electrons contribute to chemical reactions and bonding.

What is Electricity?Electricity is• the flow of electrons from an area high in electron

excess to one of lower electron content.• the flow of energy in a wire (similar to the flow of

water in a pipe) that is invisible, that causes the wire to become hot , causes a magnetic field to develop around the wire and can be put to work driving pumps, blowers, fans and so forth.

• Electricity cannot be generated. It can neither be created nor destroyed. It can, however, be forced to move and thus transmit power or produce electrical phenomena.

Two types of electricity:• Static electricity – electricity at rest• Dynamic electricity – electricity in motion

Common Sources of Electrical energy or Power.

1. Battery – a single unit capable of producing DC voltage by converting chemical energy into electrical energy.

2. Dynamo – a machine that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy and vice versa.

3. Motor – transformation from electrical energy to mechanical energy.

4. Generator – transformation from mechanical energy to electrical energy.

5. Solar energy – it converts solar energy from the sun through the use of solar cells.

Alternating Current (AC) and Direct Current (DC)

Direct current or DC is the first type of current because it is easy to produce. This current always flows in one direction. Its disadvantage is that it has an excessive voltage drop and power loss in the power lines for a long distance. Batteries are common sources of direct current.

Alternating current is the solution to the problem of DC. AC allows the flow of current in two directions. Today, it is possible to step up electricity to a power station, transmit it to any distant place and step it down for consumption. A transformer is the device used for stepping up and stepping down AC voltage.

What is electrical energy and power?

• Electrical Energy – the capacity to do electrical work

• Unit: watt-sec, kilowatt-hour, joule • W = P x t• Where: W = energy• P = power• t = time

• Conversion factor: 1 joule = 107 ergs

• Electric Power – the rate of doing electrical work or it is the rate at which electrical energy is converted to other forms of energy.

• Unit: joule/sec, watt

• P = work/time = EI = E2/R = I2R

• Where E = voltage

• I = current

• R = resistance

What is voltage?

Voltage - (potential Difference) or (electromotive force) – the force or pressure which makes electrons moves or tends to move from atom to atom along the wire.

Unit: volts

What are current and resistance?

Current – the rate of flow of electrons per unit of time. It can be direct current or alternating current.

Unit: Ampere

Resistance– the capability of the resistor to limit the flow of current and reduce the amount of voltage in a circuit.

Unit: ohms,

Ohm’s Law

The current is directly proportional to the voltage across the resistance and inversely proportional to the resistance.

Electronics Test InstrumentsElectronics test instruments are crucial instruments

that are often use for troubleshooting, repairing and analyzing the operation of a specific device. The most frequently measured parameters are the voltage, resistance and current.

The multi-tester or multi-meter or sometimes called VOM(Voltmeter, Ohmmeter, Milliammeter) is best instrument that can measure voltage, resistance and current. But this instrument measures the numerical value, not the actual waveform, which is also important to know when troubleshooting and determining the frequency of the signal.

Analog Multi-tester

The analog multi-tester has a moving coil assembly which is characterized by a needle pointer. The advantage of analog multi-tester over digital multitester is a resistance test in testing electronic components such as capacitor and transistor.

Steps in Using Analog Multi-tester1. Connect the test probe to the appropriate jack.

The red probe to the + jack and black probe to the (-) common jack.

2. Check is the pointer rest exactly at the zero position or infinite position at the ohmmeter range. If not adjust the zero corrector screw.

3. Check the accuracy of the ohmmeter by touching the two test probe. Set the multitester to x1 ohm or x10 ohms selector range. Hold the two test probe simultaneously. The pointer should not deflect when holding the two test probe. If the pointer deflects, the ohmmeter range is defective.

4. Check the probes if they are OK. Set the multi-tester to corresponding selector resistance range. Short the two probes lead together. The pointer should deflect towards zero ohm reading. Adjust the ohm adjustment if the pointer could not rest exactly at “0” ohm reading. If nothing happen the possible cause is low powered battery

Resistance Measurement

Select the desired resistance range scale with the selector switch. Read the pointer and multiply by the selected range.

DC/AC Voltage Measurement

Set the selector knob to the proper scale range. The chosen scale range must be higher than the anticipated voltage to be measured.

DC/AC Current Measurement

The ammeter scale is the same as the voltmeter scale. Apply the same procedure in measuring voltage. However, in current measurement , the meter must be connected in series with the circuit. Unlike in measuring voltage, the connection is parallel.

Advantages of Digital over Analog

1. More accurate

2. It draws essentially no energy from the circuit being measured and hence will not affect the measured quantity

3. Some are featured with autoranges that change the scale automatically providing the correct read out without having to change manually.

Capacitor A device that stores electrons. The basic

capacitor is made up of two conductors separated by an insulator, or dielectric. Depending on how the capacitor is built, the dielectric can be made of paper, plastic, mica, ceramic, glass, vacuum or any other non conductive materials. Capacitor storing ability is measured in Farad. 1 Farad is approximately 6,280,000,000,000,000,000 electrons.

Magnetism• What is a magnet?• A magnet is an object made of certain materials which

create a magnetic field. Every magnet has at least one north pole and one south pole. By convention, we say that the magnetic field lines leave the North end of a magnet and enter the South end of a magnet. This is an example of a magnetic dipole ("di" means two, thus two poles). If you take a bar magnet and break it into two pieces, each piece will again have a North pole and a South pole. If you take one of those pieces and break it into two, each of the smaller pieces will have a North pole and a South pole. No matter how small the pieces of the magnet become, each piece will have a North pole and a South pole.

The ancient Greeks and Chinese discovered that certain rare stones, called lodestones, were naturally magnetized. These stones could attract small pieces of iron in a magical way, and were found to always point in the same direction when allowed to swing freely suspended by a piece of string. The name comes from Magnesia, a district in Thessaly, Greece

Things that uses magnet:

Headphones, stereo speakers, telephone receivers, phone ringers, microwave tubes, doorbell ringer solenoid, floppy disk recording and reading head, credit card, computer monitor deflection coil, computer hard drive recording, TV deflection coil, clothes washer and dryer, DVD spinner and head positioner, hard disk spinner, starter motor, A/C clutch, etc.

Ten facts about magnet• 1. North poles point north, south poles point south. • 2. Like poles repel, unlike poles attract. • 3. Magnetic forces attract only magnetic materials. • 4. Magnetic forces act at a distance. • 5. While magnetized, temporary magnets act like permanent

magnets. • 6. A coil of wire with an electric current flowing through it

becomes a magnet. • 7. Putting iron inside a current-carrying coil increases the

strength of the electromagnet. • 8. A changing magnetic field induces an electric current in a

conductor. • 9. A charged particle experiences no magnetic force when

moving parallel to a magnetic field, but when it is moving perpendicular to the field it experiences a force perpendicular to both the field and the direction of motion.

• 10. A current-carrying wire in a perpendicular magnetic field experiences a force in a direction perpendicular to both the wire and the field.

Types of magnets

Permanent magnet

Temporary magnets

Electromagnets

• Permanent Magnets• Permanent magnets are those we are most

familiar with, such as the magnets hanging onto our refrigerator doors. They are permanent in the sense that once they are magnetized, they retain a level of magnetism. As we will see, different types of permanent magnets have different characteristics or properties concerning how easily they can be demagnetized, how strong they can be, how their strength varies with temperature, and so on.

• Temporary Magnets• Temporary magnets are those which act like a

permanent magnet when they are within a strong magnetic field, but lose their magnetism when the magnetic field disappears. Examples would be paperclips and nails and other soft iron items.

• Electromagnets• An electromagnet is a tightly wound helical coil

of wire, usually with an iron core, which acts like a permanent magnet when current is flowing in the wire. The strength and polarity of the magnetic field created by the electromagnet are adjustable by changing the magnitude of the current flowing through the wire and by changing the direction of the current flow.

• Neodymium Iron Boron magnet = Nd2Fe14B or Nd15Fe77B8.

Coulomb’s law

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two point electric charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of each of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the total distance between the two charges.

Semiconductor Materials• Semiconductors conduct less than metal

conductors but more than insulators.• Some common semiconductor materials

are silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), and carbon (C).

• Silicon is the most widely used semiconductor material in the electronics industry.

• Almost all diodes, transistors, and ICs manufactured today are made from silicon.

• Intrinsic semiconductors are semiconductors in their purest form.

• Extrinsic semiconductors are semiconductors with other atoms mixed in.

• These other atoms are called impurity atoms.

• The process of adding impurity atoms is called doping.

The figure below illustrates a bonding diagram of a silicon crystal.

• Thermal energy is the main cause for the creation of an electron-hole pair, as shown in Figure

• As temperature increases, more thermally generated electron-hole pairs are created.

• In the figure, the hole acts like a positive charge because it attracts a free electron passing through the crystal.

• The figure shows the doping of a silicon crystal with a pentavalent impurity.(N type)

• Arsenic (As) is shown in this figure, but other pentavalent impurities such as antimony (Sb) or phosphorous (P) could also be used.

• The figure shows the doping of a silicon crystal with a trivalent impurity.(P type)

• Aluminum (Al) is shown in this figure, but other trivalent impurities such as boron (B) or gallium (Ga) could also be used.

• A popular semiconductor device called a diode is made by joining p- and n-type semiconductor materials, as shown in Fig. a.

• The doped regions meet to form a p-n junction.

• Diodes are unidirectional devices that allow current to flow in one direction.

• The schematic symbol for a diode is shown in Fig. b.

Volt-Ampere Characteristic Curve

• Previous slide is a graph of diode current versus diode voltage for a silicon diode.

• The graph includes the diode current for both forward- and reverse-bias voltages.

• The upper right quadrant of the graph represents the forward-bias condition.

• Beyond 0.6 V of forward bias the diode current increases sharply.

• The lower left quadrant of the graph represents the reverse-bias condition.

• Only a small current flows until breakdown is reached.

Special types of diodes

1. Zener diode – a silicon pn junction device that differs from rectifier diode because it is designed for operation in the reverse breakdown region.

Symbol:

Z1 1N2804

2. LED(light emitting diode) – it is made of gallium arsenide or gallium arsenide phosphide.

Operation: when the device is forward bias, electrons cross the pn junction from the n type material to p type material. When recombination takes place, the electrons release energy in the form of heat and light. LED1 CQX35A

3. photodiode- a pn junction that operates in reverse bias. It has a small transparent window that allows light to strike the pn junction.

Z1 1N2804

4. Current regulator diode - it maintain a constant current as the zener diode maintain constant voltage.
