1. Variable Resistor – the rated value can be varied from its minimum
value up to its maximum value. The most common application of
this device is its use as volume control for radio receivers.
Non-polarized

3. Trimmer and Padder – are basically of the same class of variable capacitor
since both uses mica or ceramic dielectrics.
A. Trimmer – when connected in parallel with another capacitor, fixed or
variable, for providing extremely small increases in the total capacitance.
D. Diode – a two terminal device that conducts current more easily in only one
direction. The most common function of a diode is to allow an electric current to
pass in one direction (called the diode's forward direction) while blocking current
in the opposite direction (the reverse direction). Thus, the diode can be thought of
as an electronic version of a check valve. This unidirectional behavior is called
rectification, and is used to convert alternating current to direct current, and to
extract modulation from radio signals in radio receivers
1.) Rectifier diodes – are usually of silicon material and intended for rectification
purposes. Rectification is the process of changing AC voltage to pulsating DC
voltage.
2.) Zener Diode - is a type of diode that permits current not only in the
forward direction like a normal diode, but also in the reverse direction if the
voltage is larger than the breakdown voltage known as "Zener knee voltage"
or "Zener voltage". The device was named after Clarence Zener, who
discovered this electrical property.
3.) Light Emitting Diode - a p-n device like a rectifier diode except that it is
usually intended to indicate current flow, as a power ON indicator or condition
of a ciruit.

-The resistor under test is open.
2. Zero reading (full meter deflection) at all ohm scale settings.
-The resistor under test is shorted.
3. The resistance reading does not reach the tolerance to the indicated value.
-The resistor is change value.
Capacitor
Capacitor is an electronic component that has the ability to store electrical charges or
voltages. Capacitors were called condenser earlier. Capacitor have low resistance to AC. It
means that AC can pass through a capacitor. A signal, for example, is a AC in its form and
it can pass a capacitor. Capacitors have high resistance to DC. In other words they block
DC.
Notes:
1. Most ceramic and mylar capacitors are rated at 50V and 100V DC working voltage.
2. Lower value capacitors (.001uF to .068uF) are either ceramic or mylar, while .1uF to
.68 uF can be ceramic, mylar, or electrolytic.
3. Value of capacitors from 0.1 uF to 10,000 uF are usually electrolytic.
4. DC working voltage of electrolytic capacitors are usually
16V,25V,35V,50V,100V,350V and 450V.
5. Values from 1 uF to 10uF are typically used in series with a tweeter to eliminate low
frequency signal (bass)to pass through, allowing only the high frequency signals
(treble)to be reproduced by the tweeter

Capacitor functions
In different circuit arrangements capacitors perform various functions. Depending on
these duties capacitors acquire different names:
1. Filter capacitor
2. Coupling capacitor
3. Bypass capacitor
4. Decoupling capacitor
For example, there is large capacitor of 1000 microfarad under test in the
range of R- X10K (figure 31-c). The needle of the meter deflects completely
but this does not necessarily mean that the capacitor is shorted because the
range used is too high. The current in x10K range is microampere (µa) and it
takes time to fill up the capacitor probably less than a minute. In this case
the capacitor may seem shorted in the test at first.

In this test the diode is forward biased or it ahs low resistance. By reversing
the polarity of the diode: The positive to the anode and the negative to the
cathode, the diode is reversed biased which means high resistance of the
diode.
Both test readings in figure 25-b show high resistance. This means an
internally open element of the diode which results in a defective component.
There are both test readings with low resistances in figure 25-c. This
is an indication of internally shorted diode. Thus we can conclude that this
component is defective.
The deflection of an ohmmeter pointer depends on what range has
been set for measurements. For example, if the ohmmeter is set to range
Rx1 the pointer does not necesarily deflect to the full scale. While if the
range is Rx1K or Rx10K the pointer will deflect to the full scale. The extent
of deflection of a pointer also depends on diodes as various diodes have
different internal DC resistances.
In practice while testing a diode it does now matter which polarity comes first,
forward or reversed. As long as the results of the tests are opposite that is all that matters. The
reason why two tests are needed is that you cannot tell an open or short diode in a single test.

SOLDERING
Solder is an alloy of tin and lead used for fusing metals at relatively low
temperatures of about 500 to 600 F. The joint where the two metals are to be fused
is heated, and then solder is applied so that it can melt and cover the connection.
The reason for soldering connections is that it makes a good bond between the
jointed metals, covering the joint completely to prevent oxidation. The coating of
solder provides protection for practically an indefinite period of time
The trick in soldering is to heat the joint, not the solder. When the joint is hot
enough to melt the solder, the solder flows smoothly to fill all the cracks, forming a
shiny cover without any air spaces. Do not move the joint until the solder has set,
which takes only a few seconds.
Either a soldering iron or soldering gun can be used, rated at 25 to 100W. The
gun convenient for intermittent operation, since it heats almost instantaneously when
you press the trigger. The small pencil iron of 25 to 30W is helpful for soldering small
connections where excessive heat can cause damage. This precaution is particularly
important when working with PC boards, where too much heat can soften the plastic
form and loosen the printed wiring.
The three grades of solder generally used for electronic work are 40-60, 50-
50, and 60-40solder. The first figure is the percentage of tin, while the other is the
percentage of lead. The 60-40 cost more, but it melts at the lowest temperature,
flows more freely, takes less time to harden, and generally makes it easier to do
good soldering job.
In addition to the solder, there must be flux to remove any oxide film on the
metals being joined. Otherwise they cannot fuse. The flux enables the molten solder
to wet the metals that the solder can stick. The two types are acid flux and rosin flux.
Cross section of a solder wire showing the presence of rosin flux at the center
Dip Soldering
When dip soldering is used, the surface or surfaces of the wiring side of the printed
circuit board are first dipped into a liquid flux. The board is then dipped into molten solder to
a depth that is sufficient to allow solder to flow freely into all connections.

Teacher-Check 2-1 based on Assessment criteria 2.1.
1. Clean the tip of the soldering iron by means of soldering paste or wet damp
sponge. (Recommended: 25 to 30W pencil type).
3. Heat the soldering iron. Place the soldering iron tip against both the bads and
connections to be soldered. Heat both for 2 to 3 seconds.
4. Apply solder: the joint or connections must be properly intact. Let the heated joint
melt the solder.
5. As solder begins to melts, allow it to flow freely around the connection. The
remove the iron and let the connection cool
6. Check the connection. Poor connections look crystalline and grainy, or the
connections tend to blob. Reheat the connection if it does not look smooth and
bright.
7. Hold the lead with one hand while you cut-off the excess lead length close to the
connection. This will keep you from being hit in the eye by flying lead.
Apply the solder to the preheated joint and not to the tip of the soldering
iron.

Basic function in a Power Supply. Basically, only a rectifier only a rectifier is needed to
change the ac input to dc output. Filter capacitors are also used, however, to remove the
pulsating variations from the dc output, A dc voltage has a polarity, but it can still have
changes in value.
In addition, a power transformer is often used to step up or step down the ac input
voltage to the rectifier. The 220V of the ac power line can be increased or decreased
according to the turn ratio of the transformer.
Those basic functions are illustrated by block diagram in Fig. 1-1. The supply is shown
with positive dc output for V+. For negative dc output, the rectifier can be reversed, but V+ is
more common. Positive is needed for collector voltage on NPN transistors.
With an arms value of 120V, the ac power is equivalent to 120V dc power in heating
effect. With a higher value than 120V there would be more danger of a fatal electric shock.
Lower voltages would be less efficient in supplying power.
A higher voltage has the advantage of less power loss, since the same power can be
produced with less current. The power increases as the square of the current. For industrial
Also, too low a frequency for alternating current in a lamp could cause lamp to flicker.
Too high frequency results in excessive iron core losses from eddy currents and hysteretic in
the transformer. It should be noted that frequency of the ac power mains in most European
countries is 50-H
Types of Rectifier Circuits. Three popular types of rectifier circuit are shown in Fig.
1 – 2. They are:
1. Half – wave rectifier. Only one diode is needed to conduct on one alternation of every
cycle of the ac input.
2. Full – wave rectifier. The transformer has a center tap for the ac input. Two diodes are
used to conduct the opposite half – cycles. Each diode supplies one – half the dc load
current.
3. Full – wave bridge. This circuit uses four diodes in two pairs. The bridges circuit
makes it possible to eliminate the center tap.
The capacitor charges during the time that the diode conducts and discharges through
the load when the diode is not conducting.
The effectiveness of the shunt – capacitance filter depends on the values of:
1. Filter capacitors C
2. Load RL
3. Frequency of the rectified output.
The larger the value of C, the lower the time constant, and the better is the filtering
action. The higher the load resistance RL (low current consumption), a considerable value
of filter capacitor is enough. A full – wave rectifier with a ripple frequency of only 120
Hz is easier to filter than that of the half – wave rectifier with a ripple frequency of only
60 Hz.
Pi Filter. The most effective filter is the pi filter of Fig. 1 – 4 Capacitor C1 provides
initial filtering. The ac ripple is then further filtered by inductor (choke) L and capacitor
C2. Inductor L provides a high impedance compared with the impedance of C2; hence,
most of the ripple voltage is dropped across, and the output is virtually free of ac.
L – Section Filter. The filter circuit known as the L – Section filter is illustrated in
Fig. 1 – 6. It overcome the problems of high – peak current in the diode associated with a
shunt – value of L is properly selected for an L – Section (choke – input).
The L – Section is frequently used with high load – current circuits. It is, however, not
convenient to use with a half – wave rectifier
A power supply, sometimes called an adaptor or adapter is a circuit compose of three major
components; the power transformer, rectifiers (diodes), and filter capacitors. This device is
use to change the AC input voltage of 220 – volt AC from MERALCO power line voltage to

different output dc voltages (3V, 4.5V, 6V, 9V, and 12V). Because of the high cost of the
batteries, this device is use to substitute battery – operated radio receivers, toys, and other
apparatus operated from 3V to 12V dc supply voltage. Adaptors can also be used in charging
chargeable alkaline batteries and in testing electrical and electronic circuits requiring low
voltage dc supply.
