1 really simple first lesson, talked about what a current actually is 2 3 also talked about basics of circuits: 4 eg: 5 cell long line is posative short line negatie, remeber that a - is short 6 current flows from posative to negative but electrons themselfs flow negative to posative. 7 thats being caused by people assuming thing flow one way before mesuring them 8 conventional current reffers to there posative to negative NOT THE FLOW OF ELECTRONS 9 10 we also did some practical, where we built a circuit with a bulb 11 we learnt how to use the multi meters 12 how to: 13 put one input into the com (common port) and another goes into the coresponding wire you want to use 14 10 amp (probably never used) is the far left 15 mamps is the second from left 16 common is third from left 17 voltage is fouth 18 turn the thing to where it is needed, a wavey line is ac, straight is dc 19 if working with low volts/amps turn it down to mvolts or mamps 20 21 we also learnt more about the rest of the course 22 notable bits: 23 we will start course work in second year 24 first few weeks is just gonna be gcse recap 25 then something about digital logic, sounds fun 26 sheet about that in folder 27 we will have done some of the second year stuff in year 1 to give us time for course work 28 29 we also joined the teams thing
