Understanding Basic Electronics

It is mandatory to understand the basic electronics for  Robotics. I've joined EduRobo sessions to learn Arduino programming.

Types of materials

• Metals are good conductors for electricity and heat
• non-metals are insulators

Elements of Electricity

Voltage: It is the pressure need for the current to pass.

volts : It is unit for measuring the voltage.

Current: It is the flow of electrons

Ampere: It is the unit of current, in short amp

Power: It is a combination of Voltage and current. in other words Voltage * Current = Power

Watt: It is the unit of power.

Voltage Regulator-

 It is a device which takes n high voltage and gives out required amount of voltage.The voltage regulator IC which I used is known as 7805. It has 3 terminals input , ground , output.

This is the voltage regulator which I used
