Basic Technology
Course Description
Uncover the foundational magic of modern technology by exploring essential components like Transformers and Basic Electronic Devices. This course will equip you with the knowledge to understand how electrical energy is managed and manipulated in circuits, preparing you to build and analyse simple electronic systems.
What You Will Learn
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Calculate the unknown voltage or number of turns in an ideal transformer problem.
- Identify and state the primary function of five common components (e.g., resistor, capacitor, LED, diode, transistor).
- Describe the difference in function between a diode and a transistor and their roles in a simple circuit.
- Demonstrate the principle of electromagnetic induction using a bar magnet and a coil of wire.
- Draw and label a simple circuit diagram incorporating a transformer and a Basic Electronic Device (like an LED) that functions as a step-down power supply.
