Water Analogy, cont’d
Water Pressure(the higher the pressure the more water flows)
Voltage(The higher the voltage the more current flows)
Water Flow Rate(e.g. gallons per minute)
Current (which is actually charge flow rate: 1 coulomb/sec = 1 ampere)

“Work”
• In both pictures, potential energy is converted to “work”, where
• Work = – Kinetic energy– Heat– Some other kind of potential energy
• Physics note: Total Energy is conserved

What’s Happening
• Electric charges can flow in conductors
• Like charges repel
• Unlike charges attract

What’s really happening
• Electrons are flowing out of bottom of battery, around to the top
• Since they are negative, the direction of the current flow (by convention) is opposite their physical movement
• It is MUCH EASIER to think of positive charges flowing, even though they are slightly fictitious
![Page 9: Pat’s Electronics Lecture basics. Water Analogy ( helped me… ) Does some kind of work Water source Pressure pushes water through pipe Flow (Water drain](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649da15503460f94a8c8c1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Typical Elements of a circuit
• Wires
• Voltage Sources
• Electronic Components– Resistors– Capacitors– Inductors– Modular circuits (e.g. amplifiers)– Occasionally diodes and transistors
![Page 10: Pat’s Electronics Lecture basics. Water Analogy ( helped me… ) Does some kind of work Water source Pressure pushes water through pipe Flow (Water drain](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649da15503460f94a8c8c1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Wires
• These are good conductors, with practically unimpeded flow of current
• Electrons in metal form a kind of plasma
• Any flowing current creates a magnetic field (which btw can be used to measure the current)
• Size is measured by “AWG”, American Wire Gauge, since the 1850s
![Page 11: Pat’s Electronics Lecture basics. Water Analogy ( helped me… ) Does some kind of work Water source Pressure pushes water through pipe Flow (Water drain](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649da15503460f94a8c8c1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Interesting note on AWG
• The gauge number is similar to decibel measurement for sound
• 20 steps in AWG is (almost) a factor of 10 in wire diameter
• For instance, #1 AWG wire is ~ 10x the diameter of #20 AWG
• We typically use #20 to #24 for circuits
![Page 12: Pat’s Electronics Lecture basics. Water Analogy ( helped me… ) Does some kind of work Water source Pressure pushes water through pipe Flow (Water drain](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649da15503460f94a8c8c1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Voltage
• (the Electrical version of pressure)
• Measured with a meter, if time variation is slow enough
• Measured with a scope and typically a scope probe if fast time variation
• Hazards:– HIGH VOLTAGE CAN KILL YOU– (actually it’s the current through your heart…)
![Page 13: Pat’s Electronics Lecture basics. Water Analogy ( helped me… ) Does some kind of work Water source Pressure pushes water through pipe Flow (Water drain](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649da15503460f94a8c8c1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Pressure is not exactly Voltage
• One difference: voltage is always measured between two points (e.g. a meter has a “common” probe and a measurement probe.
• The reason for this goes back to the attraction of charges,
• Still a very good analogy, though

Water flow is not exactly Electrical current
• Water can flow even when there is not an (obvious) return path
![Page 15: Pat’s Electronics Lecture basics. Water Analogy ( helped me… ) Does some kind of work Water source Pressure pushes water through pipe Flow (Water drain](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649da15503460f94a8c8c1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
2 hazards we will encounter
• 1: DO NOT USE A SCOPE OR METER TO MEASURE THE AC LINE VOLTAGE!!!
(what is AC voltage? We will cover this)
WHY?
• THE METER CAN LITERALLY EXPLODE
• You might kill a $10,000 scope
► ► ►Use a “Wiggy” instead
![Page 16: Pat’s Electronics Lecture basics. Water Analogy ( helped me… ) Does some kind of work Water source Pressure pushes water through pipe Flow (Water drain](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649da15503460f94a8c8c1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
2d hazard: Death
• High voltages in our lab can kill you.
Best case scenario: you accidentally touch a high voltage terminal, and current starts to flow through your arm. If this current is much larger than your nerve impulses, you can no longer pull your arm away, because your muscles don’t receive the command. It hurts. You begin to think about how dumb you were to have one hand resting on ground while you poked around with the other one. Next, some guy who also didn’t listen grabs onto you to try to pull you away. Current flows through him, too, so he is useless. Finally someone who paid attention to this lecture finds a non-conducting hook and saves both victims.
Worst case: sufficient current finds its way through your heart to stop it, too.
![Page 17: Pat’s Electronics Lecture basics. Water Analogy ( helped me… ) Does some kind of work Water source Pressure pushes water through pipe Flow (Water drain](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649da15503460f94a8c8c1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
High Current
• This can also be dangerous: – wires can heat up, and cause fires.– Circuit elements (wires) can literally explode if
a lot of energy is dumped into them quickly– More subtly, interrupting a high current can
give a high-voltage transient!!! Of all the hazards, this is the only one I personally had experience with that actually did kill a guy.
(We will get to the reason for this.)

Resistors• Resistors impede the flow of electrical
current
• Like a pin-hole for water flow
Water source
Constriction in piperesists the water flow need more pressure to get the same flow pressure after the constriction is lower
High pressure
Lower pressure
Similarly, there is a voltage drop across a resistor when current flows through it.

Resistors• Symbol
• Measured in ohms:
A resistance of 1 ohm will let 1 Amp of current flow for a voltage drop of 1 Volt (across the resistor).

• Inductors
• Capacitors
• Diodes
• Integrated Circuits (e.g. RF amplifier)

Electrical Power
• Power is rate of dissipation of energy• Also rate of getting work done
Current Voltage P
• Energy is conserved, so if we are not storing any energy:
Power in = Power out + heat dissipated as losses

AC Voltage, Current
• AC stands for alternating current
• Nevertheless people still talk about “AC current” coming out of the wall.
• The voltage alternates: if you had a really fast meter, you would see the polarity reversing 60 times a second*
* Or just use an oscilloscope, BUT DON”T HOOK IT UP DIRECTLY

Why AC?
• See “War of Currents” on wikipedia– Edison wanted DC– Tesla wanted AC
• No good way to transform DC to a different voltage (at least in 1900)– Transmission requires high current– Must generate near point of load
• AC can be transformed up to high voltage, low current, for transmission, then back to safer levels (110 V) near point of load

AC Outlet: 110 V (rms)
Ground
Low side, or neutral
High side, or line
In an AC line cord, standard colors are: Green for ground, White for neutral, and Black for line
NOTE: in most AC wiring, BLACK is the hot, or high voltage, side

AC Voltage Measurement
Level is quoted as– Peak-to-peak (least ambiguous)– Peak– RMS = root mean square, which is the average value
of the square of the voltage. This is what a typical handheld voltmeter reads on the AC setting.
• 110 V is the RMS value, peak is around 160 V, or 2110

Capacitors, cont’d
• Often the gap is filled with a “dielectric” material to increase the capacitance; using an insulator also allows the gap to shrink, d 0, but voltage stays the same without breakdown.
• All dielectrics have a safe operating voltage, which is given as the voltage rating
• Sometimes the dielectric can only be charged in one direction: the capacitor is polarized, or electrolytic – advantage is higher capacitance
• Ugly fact that we will not worry about: most dielectrics change their value as they are biased to higher voltages!

Inductor Construction
• Any coil of wire
• Sometimes iron is added to increase the magnetic stored energy, which increases the inductance

Why N2 ?
• Current flowing through the windings produces a magnetic field; more turns produces more field, proportional to the number of turns in a given length.
• Each turn then picks up voltage from the changing magnetic field; with the turns “in series” the voltage adds, so the total is proportional to the total number of turns.

Example circuit
• Initially the switch is open, so no current is flowing
• Close the switch: the inductor tends to keep the same current flowing, which is zero.
• Eventually the inductor looks like a wire, so the current is given by Ohm’s law: I = V ÷ R

Water analog: heavy paddle-wheel
Flow
2. Paddle-wheel has heavy flywheel attached – so it is hard to spin up, but once it is spinning it tends to keep going
Valve
1. Once valve is opened, paddle-wheel begins to spin
3. Eventually the paddle-wheel gets up to speed, and the flow is limited by the resistance in the line

Another circuit: the dangers of high current
• Initially the switch is open, so some current flows, such that I = V ÷ R
• Close the switch: current starts to increase
• Suppose the current builds up to 100x its initial value, then the switch is opened: what happens?
• Inductor tries to keep the same current flowing, so initially V = 100x the battery voltage

Generating high pressure due to current flow
Flow
Suppose valve is initially closed
Valve
Paddle-wheel is spinning slowly
Then we open the valve for some amount of time, letting the flow build up (paddle-wheel spins faster)

Generating high pressure due to current flow
Flow
Then valve is closed again…
Valve
Paddle-wheel spins up
Flow through this leg stops
Flow transfers to this leg
The pressure ahead of the resistance goes up, since the paddle-wheel keeps spinning; eventually slows down to “steady state”

SOLDERING• Solder works by forming a solution of the metals
being joined in the liquid solder.• So the solder needs to be hot enough to flow,
BUT• Too much heat traveling up the leads will
destroy semiconductors!• The work pieces rather than the soldering iron
must melt the solder• When done, the two conductors being soldered
should look “wetted”

Solder wire
Has “flux” inside. Flux is a wax-like goo that has a few percent acid, for cleaning the oxide layer from wires being soldered.For plumbing, the same thing happens except the flux is usually applied separately. And you can’t use lead solder anymore. And usually a torch is used instead of an iron.

Soldering Hints
• Liquid solder conducts heat better than a dry tip, so it helps to put a dab of solder onto the tip before soldering. The associated flux can also help clean up the tip.
• It helps to “tin” the leads being soldered individually before actually trying to solder them together.
• The smoke comes from burning flux, not lead, but still probably not healthy to breathe it in.
• Don’t hold solder in mouth.

Soldering Irons - experience
• Temperature regulated ones are crucial
• Tips are special – if you decide that you want a sharper tip, you can sand the tip down to a point, but it will dissolve a little bit each time you use it and disappear before too long.

Making a Circuit Board
1. Generate a layout, using some kind of PCB software. There are programs that are free but that I know very little about (we use a bad but expensive tool, which is not even sold anymore):
– Eagle, from http://www.cadsoftusa.com/
– Kicad, from http://www.lis.inpg.fr/realise_au_lis/kicad/
Top Bottom
For our process, we generate a “positive” image: colored parts (which print as black) will be copper, white parts no copper.

Circuit Board, cont’d2. Use laser printer to print layout (also called
artwork) on a transparency
3. Align top and bottom, and tape them together.
4. Slip a pre-sensitized board between them.
Top transparency
Bottom transparency
Circuit board, has copper on both sides, covered with “photo-resist”.
![Page 67: Pat’s Electronics Lecture basics. Water Analogy ( helped me… ) Does some kind of work Water source Pressure pushes water through pipe Flow (Water drain](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649da15503460f94a8c8c1/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Circuit Board, etching
5. Expose in UV box for 5 minutes. The UV goes through the clear parts of the transparency, and does something to the photoresist.
6. Soak board in developer – this washes off the exposed photoresist. (Dilute the developer solution 1 part developer to 10 parts water.)
7. Rinse developer off using water8. Etch in Ferric Chloride solution. The
photoresist that is still on the copper prevents the copper from being etched, at least for a while. Etching usually completes in 15-45 minutes, depending on how old the solution is. You never know, so you need to keep an eye on the progress.

Circuit board fab cautions and notes:
• The ferric chloride solution will irritate your skin after a few minutes, so a little is OK but generally you should rinse it off.
• It will also eat holes in your clothes, if it gets on them and dries there. ( mysterious little holes next time you wear them)
• There is an aquarium heater and a bubbler in the ferric chloride tank, to help speed things up – remember to turn it off.
• Don’t pour ferric chloride down the coppercopper drain pipes.
