Electricity Mindmap
- There are two types of circuit, series and
parallel.
- Advantages of parallel is that each lamp can be switched
on individually and if one blows the others will stay on.
- Current is measures in amps, voltage is
measured in volts.
- Current is the flow of electrons in a circuit, voltage is
the amount of energy between two points in a circuit.
- In a circuit, current travels from the negative terminal
to the positive terminal.
- There are two types of signals, digital and
analogue.
- On an oscilloscope, an analogue signal is an exact replica of
the original sound wave, whereas with a digital signal, it
selects sampled sections of the sound wave, which makes it
work faster, but not as smooth.
- Examples of digital devices are T.V's, D.V.D's, calculators and
more modern devices. Examples of analogue devices are
record players, radios, microphones and more audio type
devices.
- There are three main logic gates, AND, NOT
and OR.
- You use the numbers "1" and "0" to
represent if the output is "on" or "off."
- With an AND gate, there are two inputs
and you need only one input to be 1 for
the output to be 1.
- With an OR gate, again, there are
two inputs, but you need both to be
1 for the output to be 1.
- With a NOT gate, there is one
input, of which is always
opposite to the output.
