Working with Circuits

  • A closed loop through which current can flow is an electric circuit.

  • A voltage source, such as a battery, conductor, typically wire, is required for every electric circuit. They could also have one or more electric devices.

  • A circuit diagram, which employs standardized symbols to represent the circuit's components, can represent an electric circuit.

Ohm’s Law

  • V= Voltage (Volt) , voltage is an electric potential difference. Similar to the gravitational potential difference between the top and bottom of a hill

  • I = Current (Amp), current is the flow of electrons (electricity) in an electronic circuit, whereas voltage is the amount of force pushing the flowing electrons.

  • R = Resistance (Ohm); resistance is a measure of a circuit's opposition to the flow of electric current. Additionally, resistance is a measure of how a substance or equipment restricts the flow of electricity through it in an electrical sense.

Reading : THE PSYCHOPATHOLOGY OF EVERYDAY THINGS

  • Discoverability and understanding are two of a good design's most important characteristics.

  • Discoverability: Is it even possible to determine which activities are accessible and how they are executed?

  • What does it all imply, exactly? How should the product be utilized? What do all of the different settings and controls mean?

  • Industrial designers emphasize form and material

  • Interactive designers emphasize understandability and usability

  • Experience designers emphasizing the emotional impact
