ESC102N : Introduction to
Electronics
Lecture : Introduction

professor, Dept. of EE

Engineering rests on Science
As engineers we use knowledge provided by science to
construct solutions to problems faced by us.
Gases liquefy under pressure
When a liquid vaporizes , it takes heat
from the surrounding
A force acts on a current carrying conductor
in a magnetic field
Science uses Mathematics for explanation

Hence as engineers we must have a good foundation in
Science and Math.
Why do we require all the students to take Electronics?
Modern world has been and is being rapidly transformed by ELECTRONICS
Electronics offers capabilities that can be exploited by almost all engineering
branches
Why has Electronics Revolutionized our lives?
Every action requires energy and Electricity is one of the
most useful forms of energy:
It is easy to generate, easy to transport, can be easily
converted into other forms of energy
It can be precisely Controlled
Suppose you have a form of energy which
is easily available and you can make it do
‘whatever’ you wish!!
Only limit is your imagination
Little wonder then that control of Electricity
ushered in the Electronics Revolution
Addition of an Electrical sub-system can enhance almost every
engineering system
Mechanical/Chemical System
Electrical System
Anti lock braking system (ABS): It prevents the wheels from locking
while you are braking
A typical anti locking braking system (ABS) is composed of a central electronic unit, which has four speed
sensors (one for each wheel), and two or more hydraulic valves on the brake circuit. The electronic unit
will constantly monitor the rotation speed of each of the wheels. When it senses that any number of the
wheels might be rotating slower than the others, which will bring it to lock, it will move the valves to
decrease the pressure on the braking circuit. This will reduce the braking force on that wheel and it will
cause a pulsing feeling through the brake pedal

Smart Buildings Make Smooth Moves
Lakshmi Sandhana 08.31.06
What if buildings could function like living systems, altering their shapes
in response to changing weather conditions or the way people use them?
That's the vision of a new breed of architects who are working on what
they think is the future of architecture -- "responsive structures" that
observe their internal and external environment and change form to suit
any situation
Electronics and health
Why should non-EE students learn about EE?
Most Complex systems have an Electrical subsystem as its part
Why study an EE subject? Exercise helps !
Mathematical Modelling
Analysis
Design
Why should non-EE students learn about Electronics?
Life without ELECTRONICS would be pretty boring !
What exactly do we do in Electronics?
Circuit
Hearing Aid
Design and fabricate electronic circuits that transform electrical
signal from one form to another
Communication
Electrical Signal Processing
Electrical Signal Processing
Course Objectives: This course is designed to help the student:
Analyze and design electronic circuits.
Build Circuits and Perform appropriate measurements in the

A copy of lecture notes would also be kept for photocopy at Shopping center
Course Details
Tutorials: Thursday : 11-12 , TB 101-110
Homework Assignment sheets would be given every week.
For proper learning it is expected that students would attempt to solve all
the problems prior to tutorial.
Students are not required to submit HW solutions.
During the first 10 minutes of the tutorial, students would be asked to
solve a problem related to the HW assignment. These would be graded
and used in tutorial assessment.
Solutions to HW assignments would be discussed during tutorials.
Solutions would also be posted on Brihaspati
