Circuit symbols show connections between components in diagrams. Actual component layout differs from diagram layout. Breadboard diagrams needed for building circuits
Textbook covers aerodynamics, bridge design, and construction principles. Includes topics like aircraft glide path and car performance. Covers fluid forces, buoyancy, and projectile motion. Contains applications in navigation, satellite systems, and surveying
Capacitance is the ability to store electric charge. Self capacitance measures charge needed to raise potential by one volt. Mutual capacitance occurs between two components in circuits. Capacitance depends on geometry, surface area, distance and dielectric permittivity
Components can be connected in series or parallel for electrical networks. Series circuits have single path, parallel circuits have multiple paths. Voltage in series equals sum of component voltages. Voltage in parallel equals sum of component voltages
Electric current is the flow of charged particles through conductors. Current is measured in amperes (A) and represented by symbol I. Current can be measured using ammeters or other devices
Wattage measures power consumption of electric devices. Wattage equals voltage multiplied by amperage (V x A = W). Watt became SI unit in 1960, named after James Watt
