Trainer board: A trainer board, in the context of electronics or engineering, typically
refers to a physical or virtual platform designed to facilitate the teaching, learning, and
experimentation of various concepts related to electronics, embedded systems, or
programming. The trainer board is equipped with a diverse array of digital logic gates,
flip-flops, and other indispensable components necessary for the construction and
exploration of digital circuits.

Resistors: Resistors are electrical components that limit the flow of electric current in
a circuit. They're designed to have a specific resistance value, measured in ohms (Ω),
which determines how much they impede the flow of electrons. Resistors are used in
electronics to control current flow, divide voltage, and adjust signal levels. There are
two types of resistor-

 Fixed Resistor
 Variable Resistor

Capacitor: A capacitor is a small rechargeable battery that stores energy in the form of an
electrical charge. It is an essential component within electrical circuits, functions as a passive
two-terminal electronic device designed to store and release electrical energy. The capacitor
has 2 wires, the long one is positive and the short one is negative. Capacitor is also work like
a filter.
Capacitor: A capacitor is a device that stores electrical energy by accumulating electric
charges on two closely spaced surfaces that are insulated from each other. It consists of two
conductive plates separated by an insulating material called a Dielectric. Capacitors are
commonly used in electronic circuits for various purposes such as energy storage, filtering,
coupling, and timing. They are characterized by their capacitance, measured in farads (F),
which indicates the amount of charge the capacitor can store per unit voltage.

Inductor: An inductor is an passive electrical device primarily used to store energy in the
form of a magnetic field. It's made of a coil of wire wound around a core. Its primary function
is to store energy in a magnetic field when an electric current flows through it . Inductors are
used in circuits for tasks like filtering signals, storing energy, and regulating voltage. The unit
of inductance is the henry (H), named after Joseph Henry, an American scientist who made
significant contributions to the understanding of electromagnetism. The value of inductance
can range from microhenries (μH) to millihenries (mH) to henries (H), depending on the
specific application.

Multi-meter: A multimeter is an electronic tool used to measure voltage, amps and

resistance across circuits.By attaching two leads to different parts of an electrical system,
professionals can use multimeters to detect levels of voltage and resistance, or changes
in electrical currents. It typically consists of a digital or analog display and probes that you
use to make connections with the circuit.

DC Power supply: A DC power supply is a device that converts alternating
current (AC) from a power source, like a wall outlet, into direct current (DC) for
powering electronic devices and circuits that operate on DC voltage. It consists of a
transformer to step down the AC voltage, a rectifier to convert AC to pulsating DC, a
filter to smooth the pulsating DC, and a voltage regulator to maintain a constant DC
output voltage.

Variable AC power: Variable AC power means electricity that can change its
strength or speed depending on what's needed. It's like being able to adjust the
volume on your radio – you can make it louder or quieter. With variable AC power,
you can adjust the strength or frequency of the electricity to match different devices
or tasks, like controlling the speed of a motor or changing the heat from a heating
element.

Bread-Board: A breadboard is a tool used in electronics for building and testing
circuits without soldering. It's like a platform with lots of tiny holes where you can insert
electronic components like resistors, capacitors, and wires. These components fit
snugly into the holes, allowing you to quickly connect them together to create circuits.
Breadboards are handy for experimenting because you can easily rearrange
components and connections to try out different designs without making permanent
changes.

Ammeter: An ammeter is a device used to measure electric current in a circuit. It's

like a gauge that tells you how much electric current is flowing through a wire or
component. Ammeters are typically connected in series with the circuit so that all of
the current flows through them. They have a scale, often in units of amperes (A), that
shows the magnitude of the current being measured. Ammeters are essential tools
for diagnosing electrical problems, checking the performance of circuits, and
ensuring that devices are operating within safe current limits.

Voltmeter: A voltmeter is a device used to measure the voltage or electric
potential difference between two points in an electrical circuit. It's like a meter that
tells you how much electrical pressure, or voltage, exists between two points.
Voltmeters are typically connected in parallel with the component or portion of the
circuit across which you want to measure voltage. They have a scale, often in units
of volts (V), that shows the magnitude of the voltage being measured. Voltmeters are
essential tools for diagnosing electrical problems, checking the performance of
circuits, and ensuring that devices are receiving the correct voltage.

Discussion:
Through this lab session, we gained a solid understanding of basic electrical
components and equipment essential for analyzing, testing, and building electrical
circuits.

The hands-on experience with the equipment provided valuable insights into
practical applications of theoretical concepts discussed in our lectures.

Moving forward, we are equipped with the knowledge and skills to tackle more
complex circuit designs and experiments, laying a strong foundation for our journey
in the field of electrical engineering.

Overall, the lab class was not only informative but also engaging, fostering a
deeper appreciation for the intricacies of electrical engineering and its real-world
applications.
