Understanding Electricity and Electrical Circuits
Electricity
Electricity: Power is a form of motion. It is electrons. Matter is formed by molecules. The nucleus is composed of protons with positive mass and electric charge, and neutrons.
Electric Charge
One can say a body is negatively charged when it has an excess of electrons, and positively charged when it has a defect of electrons. In the neutral state, the number of electrons equals the number of protons. The electric charge of a body is the excess or deficiency it has of electrons, and is measured

System Components and Their Interactions
Input: Systems require inputs to operate. These inputs can be information, energy, or materials.
- Information: Anything that reduces uncertainty, providing guidance, knowledge, and enabling planning.
- Energy: The capacity to move and stimulate the system’s functioning.
- Materials: Resources used by the system to produce output. Operational materials transform other resources, while others are converted into output.
Through the input stage, the system imports resources
Effective Telephone Communication in Business
1. Telephone Communication
Importance in Business: It is used to arrange meetings, interviews, or to ask for information.
2. Telephone Means and Equipment
Fixed Individual Devices (copper networks have been replaced by optical fiber networks)
Private Branch Exchanges (PBX): It connects calls between two destinations or ends.
Function: Call transfers among extensions, caller ID…
Types:
- IP PBXs
- Call Centers: They manage just phone calls
- Contact Centers: They not only manage phone calls but emails, SMS, online
AM/FM Radio Stage Analysis: Antenna, IF, Audio, and Demodulation
AM Receiver RF Stage Conclusions
An AM antenna, typically a fine enameled copper wire with a ferrite core, receives signals. These signals are then classified through a resonance system. A tank circuit, consisting of a variable capacitor and coil, disperses the signals in various processes.
The AM antenna can be considered a transformer with a primary and secondary winding.
A tank circuit, formed by a coil and a capacitor, resonates and acts as a signal classifier.
IF Stage and Demodulator Conclusions

The Communication Process
Communication is the process by which a person, named the sender, sends a message to a recipient who is the subject of the message. The message is the information we want to transmit, and it may be verbal, nonverbal, or both, using a common code (language).
Linguistic Elements
- Sender: The person who issues the message, whether verbal or nonverbal.
- Receiver: The person who receives the message and decodes it. The message can be interpreted in different ways. After receiving
