FAMILIARIZATION OF ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS
Aim:
To familiarize the electronic components with specification.
Components and Equipments Required:
Resistor, capacitor, inductor, diode, transistor etc.
Theory:
The electronic components are categorized into passive and active components.
Active components are those electronic components which are capable of processing or
amplifying an electrical signal. Transistor and diode are active components. Passive components
are those which are not capable of processing or amplifying an electrical signal. Resistor
,capacitor, inductor are passive components.
Resistors:
These are the components which resist the flow of current through a circuit. Resistance is
measured in Ohms.
characterized by its resistance value, power handling capacity, stability, tolerance etc.
Resistor is classified into two types: fixed and variable
Fixed Resistor- The resistor whose electrical resistance value cannot be adjusted.
The major types of fixed resistor are given below;
1.Carbon composition resistor
2.Carbon film resistor
3.Wire wound resistor
4.Metal film resistor
Variable Resistor - The resistor whose electrical resistance value can be adjusted as per
requirement by adjustable component attached to it is called variable resistor. It is used

Capacitors:
Capacitor consists of two metal plates kept apart by an insulating material between the
plates. It is used to store and release charge when desires. A capacitor offers low impedance to
AC and high impedance to DC. Due to this property capacitors are used to couple AC signal
from one circuit to another at the same time blocking DC and it is used for signal generation,
tuning, filtering etc.
Inductor:
Inductance is the property of inductors by which it opposes any change in the current
flowing through it. When current flows through a coiled wire, an emf will be generated which
will oppose the flow of current.
Transformers:
A transformer consists of two inductors having the same core. Transformers are used to
increase or decrease the amplitude of an AC voltage, keeping the frequency of the signal same.
It works on the principle of mutual induction. The input winding is called primary winding and
output winding is called secondary winding. In step up transformers, the number of turns in
primary winding is less than that of secondary winding. In step down transformer the number of
turns in secondary winding is less than that of primary winding.

The arrow head indicates the direction of conventional current flow when the diode is forward
biased.
Zener Diode:
Zener diode makes use of zener breakdown phenomena. In forward bias mode, it
functions as an ordinary diode. In the reverse bias mode, it conducts a particular voltage and the
voltage across the zener remains the constant. Zener diodes are used as voltage regulators.
LED:
When a PN junction diode is forward biased electron-hole recombination takes place and
energy is released in the form of light. Color of light is varied by using different impurities by
dopping.

Aim:
To study the rectifying action of half-wave and full wave rectifier circuits.
Components Required:
Step down transformer(6-0-6), Diode(1N4007) and resistor(1K).
Theory:
Rectifier is defined as an electronic device used for converting alternating voltage into
unidirectional voltage. A rectifier utilizes uni-direction conduction device, like PN junction
diode. Rectifiers are classified depending upon the period of conduction as half wave rectifier
and full wave rectifier.
In half wave rectifier an ac voltage into pulsating dc voltage using only one half of the
applied ac voltage. The rectifying diode conducts during positive half of the ac input voltage.
During this positive half cycle, the anode of diode becomes more positive with respect to the
cathode. So the whole input signal (positive half) will appear across the load resistor RL.
The circuit of a centre-tapped full wave rectifier is shown in figure. A centre tapped
transformer is used in this circuit to step down the input voltage. It converts an ac voltage into
pulsating dc voltage using both half cycle of the applied ac voltage. There are two diodes D1 and
D2 connected to the secondary of the transformer. The centre tap on the secondary winding of
the transformer is usually taken as the ground or zero voltage reference point.
During positive half cycle of the input signal, anode of diode D1 becomes positive and at
the same time anode of D2 becomes negative. Hence D1 conducts and D2 does not conduct. The
load current flows through D1 and voltage drop across RL will be equal to the input voltage.
During the negative half cycle of the input, the anode of D1 becomes negative and anode
of D2 becomes positive. Hence D1 does not conduct and D2 conducts. The load current flows
through D2, load resistor RL and lower half of the winding. The current flows through the load
flows in the same direction during both the positive and negative cycle of the input. As a result,
the output voltage developed across the load resistor is of same polarity and magnitude.

Theory :
Astable multivibrator is used to generate LED blinking circuit for a given duty cycle.Duty cycle
decides by value of capacitor and resistor .T1=R1C1 and T2=R2C2 .Transistor will not be in ON
condition simultaneously .When Q1 is
ON, then Q2 will be OFF and vice versa. The circuit does not has a stable state .It switches back
and forth between two quasi stable state.
If R1=R2=R and C1=C2=C ,Then T1=T2=T=0.629RC.
Now the duty cycle is 50%.
Procedure:
1.Check the transistor ,resistor and led are good.
2.Set up the circuit on breadboard as shown in the circuit diagram.

Theory:
Soldering is the process of joining two or more metals using an alloy metal having a low
melting point to establish electrical connection. There are two types of soldering hard soldering
and soft soldering.
Soft Soldering: It is a process for joining small intricate parts having low melting point
which damages when soldering process is carried out at high temperature. It uses tin -lead alloy
as filler material .The melting point of the filler material should be below 400. It uses gas torch
as the heat source.
Hard Solder: It is a process for joining two pieces of metals by expanding into pores of
the work piece opened by high temperature. The filler material posses above 450C.
The mainly used solders are the alloys of tin(63%) and lead (37%).They melts at
183C(361 F) and solidifies when it cools. Solder with a greater tin content melts at a lower
temperature, takes less time to harden and generally makes it easier to do a good soldering job
.Melting point of tin and lead mixed in 63:37 ratios, it becomes molten at 183C .
Soldering Fluxes:
In order to make the surface accept the solder readily, the connection terminal should be
free from oxides and other obstructing films. Soldering flux cleans the oxides from the surface of

Procedure:
1.Clean the component leads using a blade. Apply a little flux on t he leads. Solder on the
soldering iron and apply the rotten solder on the leads.
2. Clean the tip of soldering iron. Keep a bit away from oxide formation while soldering.
3. Do not overheat the PCB and devices. Soldering must be done in a minimum time.
4. Do not use excess solder or flux.

The basic building block of the fixed voltage power supply is given above .A transformer
supplied AC voltage at the required level. Rectifier which converts the sinusoidal ac voltage into
either positive or negative pulsating dc ie , it contains unwanted ac components. For most supply
purposes constant voltage is required than that furnished by a rectifier. To reduce ac component
from the rectifier output voltage a filter circuit is required.
The magnitude of output dc voltage may vary with the variation of either the input ac voltage
or the magnitude of load current .So at the output of a rectifier filter combination a voltage
