Newton’s First Law of Motion states that a body that sits still or moves with a constant velocity with respect to a motionless observer will have its status unaltered until acted upon by an unbalanced force. Such a change in motion is accompanied by an acceleration, which is a change of velocity of an object:Continue reading “INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS: Energy and Power ( Part 2 )”

INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS: Metric Prefix Conversions ( Part 2 )
The number 1 can be formed via the establishment of a ratio of logically related quantities: A = A ( A / A ) = 1 A = B ( A / B ) = 1 And, ( B / A ) = 1 Furthermore, the product of any number multiplied by 1 is theContinue reading “INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS: Metric Prefix Conversions ( Part 2 )”
INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS: Electrical Quantities and their Corresponding SI Units
The International System ( SI ) has established internationally accepted values for physical quantities. These agreed-upon values constitute the building blocks of many scientific fields of study, including electronics. Each quantity in question is accompanied by a symbol, and each symbol can be substituted with an SI unit that gives it meaning. Consider the followingContinue reading “INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS: Electrical Quantities and their Corresponding SI Units”
INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS: Electrical Units and Metric Prefixes
Physical realities would be meaningless without internationally standardized definitions that quantify their existence. Within the field of electronics, there are electrical units of measure that are so common that becoming familiar with them is highly advisable for new students. It is important to note that the aforementioned electrical phenomena occur in measured quantities that areContinue reading “INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS: Electrical Units and Metric Prefixes”
AP PHYSICS: Power of Ten Prefixes
The phrases “ several dozen “ and “ several hundred “ have meanings that are dependent upon suffixes that have been assigned to a numeral grouping of items. It is most practical, however, to have an internationally agreed upon method of assigning prefixes that denote numerical meanings to words. The Systeme International ( SI )Continue reading “AP PHYSICS: Power of Ten Prefixes”
