Basic Electronic Components(1)

Online Course

Description

Electronics does not need to be a mystery. This course provides an easy-to-understand breakdown of the building blocks that make up most of the electronic, solid-state controls and devices in use today. From the basic theory behind semiconductors, to diodes, transistors and more complicated electronic devices, this course pulls back the curtain on an often-misunderstood subject area.

Main topics include: semiconductors, diodes, diodes in AC circuits, rectifiers, transistors, diacs, triacs, bilateral switches, PRC and NTC thermistors and pressure transducers.

Individuals completing this course will receive a certificate of completion and .1 CEU/1 CEH.

What You Will Learn

Upon completion of this course, the learner will be able to:

Explain the properties of silicon and why it is not a good conductor of electricity.
Explain how “N-type” and “P-type” materials are created.
Explain the construction, function and operation of a diode.
Explain how diodes can be used to construct rectifier circuits.
