IntroductiontothecourseOverviewWelcome to Grade 10 Electricity/Electronics Technology!As a student enrolled in a distance learning course, you have taken on a dualrole—that of a student and a teacher. As a student, you are responsible formastering the lessons and completing the learning activities and assignments.As a teacher, you are responsible to check your work carefully, noting areas inwhich you need to improve and motivating yourself to succeed.In this course, you will study and learn the basics of electricity andelectronics, including the following specific topics:nHow electricity plays a vital role in our livesnThe importance of electricity and electronicsnImportant electronics termsnProper procedures for using tools and equipmentnCareers and jobs in the electronics fieldnHealth and safety issues when working with electronicsnHow to read and interpret schematic diagramsnHow to use appropriate terminology for electricity or electronicsnnnnnHow to design and/or build circuits to an acceptable standard capable ofproducing a desired outputHow to demonstrate the safe use and knowledge of meters and hand toolsused in the electrical industryHow to read and interpret meter readingsHow to test and evaluate the integrity of electrical and electroniccomponentsHow to find out about post-secondary programs in the electrical andelectronics fieldsElectronics play a huge part in our everyday lives. You may notrealize it, but just about everywhere you go and everything youdo involves using electronics in some shape or form. For example,when you are travelling to and from school, the vehicle you are inis made up of various forms of electronics to make your automobilework. Listening to music on a radio, CD player, MP3 media player,or a computer involves electronics, and that music is recorded with electronicdevices. While driving, you can see hydro lines carrying electricity to housesand other buildings. It’s everywhere! In this day and age of technology, ourlives are driven greatly by electronics.Introduction3

We rarely stop to think of the role the electronic devices we use play in ourlives. When we use that cordless phone or mobile phone to callup our friends, when we log onto the computer to check ouremail, and when we watch our favourite shows on television, weare using electronics. It is amazing when you actually considerall the electronic devices we use on a daily basis. You may beforced to notice it when the power in your area goes out and allof a sudden everything goes dark and there’s not much to do!Electronics seem to make our lives a whole lot easier and much more exciting.Electronic devices seem to be constantly evolving and improving. The recordplayer evolved to a cassette tape player, then the CD player, and now a harddisc or solid state form of electronic equipment called anMP3 player. Video recording went from the VCR to theDVD player, and now we are able to pause and instantlyreplay live television using a hard disk or PersonalVideo Recorder (PVR) device. Sound systems for homeentertainment grew from stereo systems with twospeaker outputs to surround sound systems with up tosix different channels of sound output.Electronics are used everywhere—in our homes, for lawenforcement and rescue units, for government business,all the way to traffic signals and emergency responsesystems. We have become so dependent on them, it wouldnow be extremely difficult for us to live without them. Butif you went back in time only 200 years, there would be noelectronics whatsoever.What Will You Learn in This Course?In each lesson, you will read a few pages and then complete a learningactivity and/or assignment. Some lessons may require you to do someinvestigative research or observation work in the community. The course ismade up of the following five modules:Module 1: Introduction to ElectronicsModule 2: The Basics of ElectricityModule 3: Capacitors and SemiconductorsModule 4: Ohm’s Law and Circuit FundamentalsModule 5: Magnetism and Induction4G r a d e 10 E l e c t r i c i t y/ E l e c t r o n i c s Te c h n o l o g y

How Is This Course Organized?Each module in this course is made up of several lessons, which areorganized as follows:nnnnnnnIntroduction: Each lesson begins by outlining what you will be learning.Power Words: Throughout this course you will be introduced to words thatwill increase your electronics vocabulary. These words are called “powerwords.” Each power word will be in bold and the definition for each wordcan be found in the glossary at the end of the booklet. You should be able todefine and/or explain these words when you have completed this course.Lesson: The main body of the lesson is made up of the content that you needto learn. It contains explanations, diagrams, and fully completed examples.Summary: Each lesson ends with a brief review of what you just learned.Learning Activities: Most lessons have a learning activity. These includequestions that you should complete in order to help you practise or reviewwhat you have just learned. Once you have completed a learning activity,you should check your answers with the answer key provided at the end ofthe module.Assignments: Assignments are found at the end of lessons. You will mailor electronically submit all of your completed assignments to your tutor/marker for assessment.Projects: You will be completing and sending in two hand-in projects. Thetwo projects must be mailed to your tutor/marker for assessment.What Resources Will You Need for This Course?You do not need a textbook for this course. All the content is provided directlywithin the course. You will, however, need access to a variety of resources.Grade 9/10 Electronics VideoYou will have the opportunity to view the Grade 9/10 Electronics video,which is available on the distance learning unit website at www.edu.gov.mb.ca/k12/dl/iso/av.html . If you need a copy of the video on DVD, pleasecontact the ISO Office.Introduction5
