Scenario: Whilst you are handling the soldering iron, it slipped from your hand. What should you not do?

(You can choose more than one answer)

Let it fall

Juggle with soldering iron

Attempt to pick it up

All of the above

What should you do when your skin comes into contact with the soldering iron?

Apply cream or ointment onto wound

Let it be

Run your hand under the cold water

None of the above

You don't have to wear safety goggles when you solder. True or False?

True

False

What are some of the dangers of soldering?

Contact with lead may cause health problems

You can cause fire

You can injure yourself with the hot soldering iron

All of the above

This is another type of breadboard.

No. It's a Printed Circuit Board (PCB).

Yes. It's just a green colored breadboard.

What is this component called?

Is light emitting diode an active or passive component?

Passive

Active

What are these?

Resistors

Transistors

Capacitors

None of the above

True or False. The diagram contains resistor.

True

Battery

Capacitor

What does this component represent?

What does this symbol represent?

Identify THREE (3) passive electronic components

Identify THREE (3) active electronic components

Describe the function of a diode?

Describe the function of a resistor?

Describe the function of a capacitor?

Describe the function of an inductor?

Describe the function of an operational amplifier?

Describe the function of a transistor?

A. Remove the soldering wire and then the iron.

B. Touch the tip of the soldering iron to the areas around the joint. This heats up your copper track (Do not do this for more than 5 seconds otherwise the copper track will get damaged)

C. Melt just enough solder to make the joint and then pull the iron away. The molten metal should cover all the elements of the join.

D. Place the soldering wire near the soldering iron and move it over the joint in a small circle until it reaches back to the soldering iron.

E. Clean the circuit board with alcohol.

These are the steps for soldering. However, they are arranged incorrectly. Re-arrange them correctly.
