Audio Components Audio components convert sound waves into currents and currents into sounds. Devices that convert sound waves to electrical current are normally know as microphones and devices that

Electric Current Electrons, while they can flow, do not flow through all materials equally and in some materials not at all. When electrons can move through a material it is said to be a conductor an

Coils As we know from earlier pages, electrons moving through a wire causes an electromagnetic field around the wire. If we wrap the wire in a coil then that intensifies the magnetic field and that m

RelaysRelays are basically switches that are controlled by electricity rather than mechanical input. Inside the relay, the current used to alter the state of the switch is put into a coil. As we now f

Switches The are many types of switches but in this section we'll just go into mechanical switches. Switches allow or stop the flow of current or control which path it is to take. The simplest swi
