Fundamentals of Electricity and Electrical Installations
Atoms and Electric Charge
An “atom” is the smallest part of a chemical element that retains its properties. “Electric charge” is the excess or defect of electrons in a body.
Electricity and Current
“Electricity” is the orderly movement of electrons through a material. “Sense of electricity” is the direction of moving electrons.
Classes of Electric Current
- Direct current (DC): The flow is constant and does not change direction.
- Alternating current (AC): The electron flow is variable and changes direction.
Power Electronics Devices: A Comparison
BJT vs. MOSFET
Question 20: Differences in characteristics of gate BJTs and MOSFETs?
High-power bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) are common in power converters operating below 10 kHz, handling up to 1200V and 400A. A BJT has three terminals: base, emitter, and collector. In a common emitter configuration, it typically functions as a switch.
An NPN transistor turns on when the base voltage exceeds the emitter voltage, and sufficient base current drives the transistor into saturation. The transistor

Preamplifier
A preamplifier consists of several amplification stages that raise the weak input signal from a source to a sufficiently high level.
Input Selector
The input selector adapts the preamplifier’s input to the specific characteristics of the selected audio source (analog or digital).
Preamp Adapter and Level/Impedance
This stage adapts the input level, impedance, and sensitivity to deliver an output signal with suitable amplitude for the main preamplifier input.
RIAA Preamplifier
