Highlights:
Theme for Session 3 was BURN BABY BURN! details below:
- We focus this session on completing the passive components
- We talked about Diodes and their purpose, with a brief mention of Zener Diodes and ofcourse LEDs.
- A bulk of the time was spent on Capacitors.
- We talked about their purpose.
- Jad showed us what happens when you hook a capacitor improperly (BOOM!)
- Jad did a demo charging a 1000uF capacitor with a 12V battery then discharging it through the Multimeter
- We then talked about Inductance, namely coils and where they're used in.
- Jad got screwed while magnetizing a screwdriver (check pictures and look at his fingers)
- Effectively we ended up doing a water heater!
- We talked about Voltage Regulators with an emphasis on 7805 and the circuit required.
- Took a break form 7:15PM to 7:25PM.
- Jad explained breadboards, wiring and how to properly strip wires.
- Finally, we went over all passive components on the breadboard and finally got our first LED to light up!
- Towards the end Jad started requesting assistance from people but everyone was scared shitless to assist HIM!
See you this saturday!
