Electronic Technology

Machines can change electrical energy into  other forms  of  energy  to do work.
And  it is used to handle information.A circuit board is a collection of many circuit parts on a sheet of insulating
material.
The way that the television works is that.When you change the channel  or volume  on the television.You push the buttons on the remote control. To send a signal with the correct information to the  television.And the information is sent to the televison in the form of infrared light by tiny bulb called LED.
While the semiconductor is an element  or compound that conducts electric current better than an insulator does but not as well as conductor does.
A diode electronic device  that allows electric charge to move more easily in one direction than in the  other.
Diodes are used in power plants  to send electrical energy to homes by alternating current(AC).But other things  like  radios use direct current.(DC). The diodes are used to help change between AC to DC.
The change between AC to DC occurs  when the diodes in AC adapter block the current in one direction.But then the direction remains.
Transistor is a semiconductor device  that can amplify current and that is used in amplifiers,oscillators and switches.
Oscillator is an electronic circuit that produces a repetitive electronic signal often a sine wave or a   square wave.
Amplifiers is a device for increasing the power of a
signal  by use of an external energy source.
An integrated circuit is an entire circuit that has many components on a single semiconductor.


Communication Technology


The telegraph was one of the first electronic communication devices to send information by using signals.
It was invented in the 1830's.It used  an electric  current to send messages between places joined by wires.
Shows patterns of dots and dashes each standing for a letter and number in the morse code.
Analog signal a signal whose properties can change continuously in a given range.



A digital signal  a signal that can be represented as a sequence of discrete values.
Electromagnetic(EM) is a wave that consists of changing electric and magnetic fields.

COMPUTERS

A computer is an electronic device that performs tasks by following instructions given to it.
The information you give to a computer is called input.The computer processes the input.
Microprocessor a single semi-conductor chip that controls and executes a microcomputer's
instructions.
Hardware is  the parts or pieces of equipment that make up a computer.

Software is a set of instructions or commands that tells a computer what to do.
The internet is a large computer network that connects many local and smaller networks all over world.
