A floating point system in which numbers are expressed as products consisting of a number greater than one multiplied by an appropriate power of ten that is some multiple of three.

Kirchhoff's current law

The algebraic sum of all curents into and out of any branch point in a circuit must equal zero.

Kirchhoff's Voltage Law

The algebraic sum of all voltages around any closed path must equal zero.

Light-emitting diode. An electronic devise that conducts current in one direction only and illuminates when its conducting.

unit of resistence. Value of one ohm allow current of one ampere with potential of one volt.

one that has two or more branches for separete current from one voltage source.

Opposition to current. Unit is the ohm.

coding system of colored stripes on a resistor to indicate the resistor's value and tolerance.

Numbers entered as a number from one to ten multiplied by a power of ten.

one that has only one path current.

Abbrevation of system International, a system of practical units based on the meter,kiligram, second, ampere, Kelvin, mole and candela.

Metallic alloy of tin and lead that is used to join two metal surface.

Process of joining two metallic surfaces to make an electrical contact by melting solder across them.

Tool with an interial heating element used to heat surfaces being soldered to the point where the solder becomes molten.
