Electronics…. definition
The study and control of electron flow
Branch of physics that deals with the
emission, behaviour, and effects
of electrons and with electronic devices.
Technology involving the manipulation
of voltages and electric currents
through the use of various devices for
the purpose of performing some useful
action.

Two primary areas
 Analog electronics

the signals to be manipulated take the form of
continuous currents or voltages. The information
in the signal is carried by the value of the current
or voltage at a particular time t.
 Digital electronics

common two-level digital electronics, signals are
manipulated mathematically. These mathematical
operations are known as boolean algebra. The
operations permissible in boolean algebra are
NOT, AND, OR, and XOR, plus various
combinations of these elemental operations

Electronics History ( 1745 – 1996)
 Ewald Georg von Kleist and Peter Van
Muschenbrock, in Leyden (Netherlands),
discovered the Leyden jar in 1745
 Leiden jar, is a device that "stores" static
electricity between two electrodes on the inside
and outside of a jar.
 The invention was named for this city
 It was the original form of the capacitor
 The Leyden jar was used to conduct many early
experiments in electricity, and its discovery was of
fundamental importance in the study of electricity

flew kites to demonstrate that lightning is a
form of static electricity (ESD).


(1745-1827) announced the results of his
experiments investigation Galvani's claims
about the source of electricity in the frog
leg experiment.
5

Oersted (1777-1851)

in Denmark demonstrated a relationship
between electricity and magnetism by
showing that an electrical wire carrying a
current will deflect a magnetic needle.
 1822-27 André Marie
Ampère (1775-1836)

in France gave a formalized understanding
of the relationships between electricity and
magnetism using algebra.
6
 1826 George Simon Ohm (1787-1854)
wanted to measure the motive force of
electrical currents .
 Michael Faraday (1791-1867).
 1820s Faraday postulated that an electrical
current moving through a wire creates "fields
of force" surrounding the wire.
 1821 Faraday built the first electric motor--a
device for transforming an electrical current
into rotary motion.
 1831 Faraday made the first transformer. The
unit of capacitance is named after him.

7
 Karl Friedrich Gauss (1777-
1855) Wilhelm Eduard Weber (18041891).


Gauss is known as one of the greatest
mathematicians of all time. The CGS unit
of magnetic field density in named
after Gauss.
Weber, a German physicist, also
established a system of absolute electrical
units. The MKS unit of flux is named
after Weber.
8
 Joseph Henry (1799-1878)

was a professor in a small school in
Albany, New York. In 1830 he observed
electromagnetic induction, a year before
Faraday. The unit of induction is
named after him.
 1832 Heinrich F.E. Lenz (18041865),

born in the old university city of Tartu,
Estonia (then in Russia), was a professor
at the University of St. Petersburg who
carried out many experiments following the
lead of Faraday.
9

Britain in February 1879.
 Thomas Alva Edison (1847 - 1931):
 In 1878, Edison began work on an electric lamp
and sought a material that could be electrically
heated to incandescence in a vacuum.
 1882 Edison installed the first large central power
station on Pearl Street in New York City in 1882;
its steam-driven generators of 900 horsepower
provided enough power for 7,200 lamps.

12
 Oliver Heaviside (1850 - 1925)

Worked with Maxwell's equations to reduce
the fatigue incurred in solving them.
 Heinrich Rudolph Hertz (1857 1894)

was the first person to demonstrate the
existence of radio waves.
 Nikola Tesla (1856 - 1943)

devised the polyphase alternating-current
systems that form the modern electrical
power industry. The unit of magnetic
field density is named after him.
13
 Charles Proteus Steinmetz (1865 1923)

discovered the mathematics of hysteresis
loss, thus enabling engineers of the time to
reduce magnetic loss in transformers.
 Guglielmo Marconi (1874 - 1937)

Known as the "father of wireless", was an
Italian national who expanded on the
experiments that Hertz did, and believed
that telegraphic messages could be
transmitted without wires.
14
 Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen (1845 - 1923)
discovered X rays, for which he received the
first Nobel Prize for physics in 1901.

who discovered and identified the electron in
the year 1897
 Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955):
 In the year 1905, Einstein elaborated on the
experimental results of Max Planck who
noticed that electromagnetic energy seemed
to be emitted from radiating objects in
quantities that were discrete.
