A small example of manipulating electronic components at a basic level.
Electronics, as its name suggests, is any technology that indicates that a flow of electrons goes from one place to another.
The first to see the effect of electrons moving from one place to another was Thomas Alva Edison. When he invented the light bulb, he wanted to prevent his bulb from turning black due to the effect of the heat generated by the electrons in the filament when they were heated. To avoid this he put a small metal sheet between the carbon filament. In one of his experiments, he polarized this sheet with positive current and saw that the electrons in the filament went towards the positive metallic sheet. I call this, of course, the Edison effect, later others developed this effect, perfecting it and understanding that certain devices could do things with electron currents. In this way what we know today as electronics was born.
A transistor can cause a current to lower its
voltage input or upload it. A endurance it can cause the voltage you receive to drop. A capacitor can create an oscillation. The electronic components of a apparatus or machine do various things to the stream of electrons. What they do to you can be understood, through certain laws of physical. For this reason, you can predict and calculate what the behavior of the electrons will be. This understanding as well as its implementation is what today we refer to as electronics. It therefore has a study component and another component of app or practice.Example of multimeter or multimeter, essential in electronics.
The study component can take from the simple knowledge of calculating small circuits to an entire race of Electronic Engineer. The practice requires from the basic knowledge of soldering with tin, to the creation of environments with machines capable of assembling and welding components, in order to create products that can be consumed by the public in general.
Electronics encompasses many fields of modern life. In fact our world would not be as it is (good or bad) without electronics.
For initiation in electronics you need basic equipment such as a tin soldering iron. fine point, a roll of tin, solder paste, an electric meter or multimeter and a lot of patience and dedication. More materials would be required but those mentioned would be enough to start studying and practicing.
