Electronics 101 – Resistors & Resistance Part 1

January 25, 2012

Electronics Class – Room 101 Here I teach the novice all about electronics. This is Part 1 in a series all about resistors and resistance. I provide commentary while showing various type of resistors: carbon film, metal film, precision, variable, ceramic and wire wound. I also show a series parallel resistance network and measure the voltages with a voltmeter. Resistors vary in wattage. The wattage rating indicates the amount of power that can be dissipated by that resistor. At some point resistors burn out. Lower resistances burn out with high currents. High resistances burn out due to high voltage. Using Ohm’s Law you can calculate circuit voltage, current and resistances. E=IxR I=E/RR=E/I. Ohm’s Law is easy to use and remember because of a simple pie chart you can draw anytime. Cover the value you don’t know and calculate the answer. Resistors always go ‘open’ circuit when they fail. A resistor can be anything the conducts electricity. Even wire has resistance. Hope you enjoy and learn a little something.

Fixed and capricious wire anguish resistors

January 9, 2012

Fixed and variable wire wound resistors Fixed wire wound resistors are used in audio frequency DC and AC circuits as voltage dividers as well as damping and terminating resistors for establishing a high stability of parameters of the circuit and the high power of dissipation. Wire wound resistors have an insulating ceramic or plastic base. Wires made of special alloys with high resistivity, good thermal stability and low temperature resistance coefficient are used in manufacturing of such resistors. Wire wound resistors are made by winding wire on the frame, so they have a higher inductance and capacitance of its own. To reduce the inductance a bifilar winding is used ie when the winding is made with doubled wires where the fields of the turns located next to each other are directed towards each other. For insulation and protection of turns the winding is covered with heatproof inorganic vitreous enamel or heavy-duty glass-ceramic coating. Variable wire wound resistors are used as adjusting and trimming elements for maintenance and repair of household appliances, as well as to control large currents in power circuits as rheostats, voltage dividers, and more. These resistors are manufactured with resistance from fractions of one Ohm to several tens of Ohms, where the acceptable power dissipation for them ranges from 0.5 to 5W. The design of the variable wire wound resistor looks like that. A toroidal or tubular ceramic or plastic frame on which a thin wire with high ohmic

very easy to make. parts i used: 22 ohm 15watt resistor 3 millimeter copper wire for the tip (it’s wound around the resistor very tight 5 times) some thin copper wire to hold down the tip. the hole thing is wrapped around with copper sheet , and metal sheet from a spray can. it has a small plastic handle for insulation. and just ad 12 volts 2A if you need to solder something very small like a smd components it works great, it heats up in 5 minutes.

This is my first joule thief video. It shows that a small switching diode or zener diode can be used instead of the resistor. And a to126 package NPN transistor works as well.
