Electronics
Electrical Device vs ElectronicsElectrical device - Continuous electricity
Electronics – Used to communicate information
108
Signals Types
Analog
Varies smoothly to represent information
DigitalRepresents information in pulses or steps
109
Semiconductors
Conductor
Easily transmits electric current
Insulator
Does not transmit electric current
*Semiconductor
In between – Conducts only under special conditions

Semiconductor Types
110
Diode
Allow current to only flow in one direction
Can convert AC to DC
Can be used as a switch
111
Transistors
Amplifies an electronic signal
Switches current on/off
111
Integrated Circuits
Semiconductors that contains many diodes, transistors, and other components all together in one thin slice
Often called chips
112
Telephones
Sound converted into electronic signal for transmission and then converted back into sound
Invented by Alexander Bell 1876
Contains three parts
Transmitter
Receiver
Dialing Mechanism
