Understanding Electronics Basics: Vcc, Ground, and More

In the world of electronics, different terms are often used to refer to the same concept. It’s important to grasp these terms to build a solid foundation in electronics. One commonly mentioned concept is the negative pole of the battery, which can be referred to as “-”, “0V”, the ground, “GND”, or “Vss”. These terms all indicate the same thing - the negative pole of the battery that is at 0V....

Understanding Voltage in Electronics

Voltage is a fundamental concept in electronics that refers to the electric potential that allows electrons to flow from an area of higher voltage to an area of lower voltage. It is measured in volts (V). The higher the voltage, the greater the flow of electrons in a circuit, which is known as current. To better understand voltage, let’s consider a simple example. Imagine a circuit with an LED light. If you power this circuit with a 1....
