PREFACE
Practical training is an integral part of engineering studies, the training gives an
opportunity to the students to expose themselves to the industrial environment which is quite
different from the classroom teaching. I, feel delighted & greatly encouraged in preparing the
Industrial Training Report. The training enables the student to work in the future. It enable the
student to under go those experiences which help later when they join any organization.
The training report presented here in manifestation of as the three months training. I
under went in partial fulfillment of the Engineering Degree of Kurukshetra University,
Kurukshetra. As the time was limited and the field of study was quite vast, I tried my best to get
more and more information about the industry.
With the rapid change in Technology, quality, competition & productivity, industrial
training is the need of the hour.
. Although it is very difficult to reproduce we learned during the training but still in the
following pages a comprehensive attempt has been made to present details about the working. In
future it will prove beneficial for the company as well.

CHAPTER 2
PROJECT WORK
8/3/2019 Vivek Report
12/35
DESCRIPTION
This circuit saves both time and electricity for students. It helps to prevent them from dozing off
while studying, by sounding a beep at a fixed time interval, say, 30 minutes. If the student is
awake during the beep, he can reset the circuit to beep in the next 30 minutes. If the timer is not
reset during this time, it means the student is in deep sleep or not in the room, and the circuit
switches off the light and fan in the room, thus preventing the wastage of electricity. The circuit
is built around Schmitttrigger NAND gate IC CD4093 (IC1), timer IC CD4020 (IC2), transistors
BC547, relay RL1 and buzzer. The Schmitt-trigger NAND gate (IC1) is configured as an astable
multivibrator to generate clock for the timer (IC2). The time period can be calculated as
T=1.38RC. If R=R1+VR1=15 kilo-ohms and C=C2=10 F, youll get T as 0.21 second.
Timer IC CD4020 (IC2) is a 14-stage ripple counter. Around half an hour after the reset of IC1,
transistors T1, T2 and T3 drivethe buzzer to sound an intermediate beep. If IC2 is not reset
through S1 at that time, around one minute later the output of gate N4 goes high and transistor
T4 conducts. As the output of gate N4 is connected to the clock input (pin 10) of IC2 through
diode D3, further counting stops and relay RL1 energises to deactivate all the appliances. This
state changes only when IC1 is reset by pressing switch S1. Assemble the circuit on a
generalpurpose PCB and enclose it in a suitable cabinet. Mount switch S1 and the buzzer on the
front panel and the relay at the back side of the box. Place the 12V battery in the cabinet for
powering the circuit. In place of the battery, you can also use a 12V DC adaptor.

RESISTORS
A resistor is an electrical component that limits or regulates the flow of electrical current in an
electronic circuit. Resistors can also be used to provide a specific voltage for an active device
such as a transistor.
All other factors being equal, in a direct-current (DC) circuit, the current through a resistor is
inversely proportional to its resistance and directly proportional to the voltage across it. This is
the well-known Ohm's Law. In alternating-current (AC) circuits, this rule also applies as long as
the resistor does not contain inductance or capacitance.
Resistors can be fabricated in a variety of ways. The most common type in electronic devices
and systems is the carbon-composition resistor. Fine granulated carbon (graphite) is mixed with
clay and hardened. The resistance depends on the proportion of carbon to clay; the higher this
ratio, the lower the resistance.
Another type of resistor is made from winding nichrome or similar wire on an insulating form.
This component, called a wire wound resistor. A resistor is a two terminal electronic component
designed to oppose an electric current by producing a voltage drop between its terminals in
proportion to the current, that is, in accordance with Ohm's law: V=IR. The resistanceR is equal
to the voltage drop Vacross the resistor divided by the currentIthrough the resistor.
Resistors are characterized primarily by their resistance and the power they can dissipate. Other
characteristics include temperature coefficient, noise, and inductance. Practical resistors can be
made of resistive wire, and various compounds and films, and they can be integrated into hybrid
and printed circuits. Size, and position of leads are relevant to equipment designers; resistors
must be physically large enough not to overheat when dissipating their power. Variable resistors,
adjustable by changing the position of a tapping on the resistive element, and resistors with a
movable tap ("potentiometers"), either adjustable by the user of equipment or contained within,
8/3/2019 Vivek Report

are also used. Resistors are used as part of electrical networks and electronic circuits.
There are special types of resistor whose resistance varies with various quantities, most of which
have names, and articles, of their own: the resistance of thermistors varies greatly with
temperature, whether external or due to dissipation, so they can be used for temperature or
current sensing; metal oxide varistors drop to a very low resistance when a high voltage is
applied, making them suitable for over-voltage protection; the resistance of a strain gauge varies
with mechanical load; the resistance of photoresistors varies with illumination; the resistance of a
Quantum Tunnelling Composite can vary by a factor of 1012 with mechanical pressure applied;
and so on.

UNITS
The ohm (symbol:) is theSIunit of electrical resistance, named after Georg Ohm. The most
commonly used multiples and submultiples in electrical and electronic usage are the milliohm,
ohm, kilohm, and megohm.
On circuit diagrams the value may be written in "SI Notation" with the multiplier replacing the

decimal point. So "2k5" means 2.5 kilo ohms.
SERIES AND PARALLEL RESISTORS
Resistors in a parallel configuration each have the same potential difference (voltage). To find
their total equivalent resistance (Req):
Fig 2.2-Diagram of several resistors in parallel
The parallel property can be represented in equations by two vertical lines "||" (as in geometry) to
simplify equations. For two resistors,
The current through resistors in series stays the same, but the voltage across each resistor can be
different. The sum of the potential differences (voltage) is equal to the total voltage. To find their
total resistance:

Fig 2.3- Diagram of several resistors in series
A resistor network that is a combination of parallel and series can sometimes be broken up into
smaller parts that are either one or the other. For instance,
Fig 2.4-Diagram of three resistors,2 in parallel connected in series with other
However, many resistor networks cannot be split up in this way. Consider a cube, each edge of
which has been replaced by a resistor. For example, determining the resistance between two
opposite vertices requires matrix methods for the general case. However, if all twelve resistors
are equal, the corner-to-corner resistance is56 of any one of them.
The practical application to resistors is that a resistance of any non-standard value can be
obtained by connecting standard values in series or in parallel .

CAPACITORS
A capacitor is a passive electrical component that can store energy in the electric field between a
pair of conductors (called "plates"). The process of storing energy in the capacitor is known as
"charging", and involves electric charges of equal magnitude, but opposite polarity, building up
on each plate. A capacitor's ability to store charge is measured by its capacitance, in units of
farads.
Capacitors are often used in electric and electronic circuits as energy-storage devices. They can
also be used to differentiate between high-frequency and low-frequency signals. This property
makes them useful in electronic filters. Practical capacitors have series resistance, internal
leakage of charge, series inductance and other non-ideal properties not found in a theoretical,
ideal, capacitor.
Capacitors are occasionally referred to as condensers. This term is considered archaic in English,
but most other languages use a cognate of condenser to refer to a capacitor.
A wide variety of capacitors have been invented, including small electrolytic capacitors used in
electronic circuits, basic parallel-plate capacitors, mechanical variable capacitors, and the early
Leyden jars, among numerous other types of capacitors.

CAPACITANCE
Fig 2.5-Charge separation in a parallel plate capacitor
Charge separation in a parallel-plate capacitor causes an internal electric field. A polarized
dielectric spacer (orange) reduces the electric field and increase the capacitance.
A capacitor's ability to store charge is measured by its capacitance , the ratio of the amount of
charge stored on each plate to the voltage:
For an ideal parallel plate capacitor with a plate area and a plate separation :
In SIunits, a capacitor has a capacitance of one faradwhen one coulombof charge stored on
each plate causes a voltage difference of one voltbetween its plates. Since the farad is a very
large unit, capacitance is usually expressed in microfarads (F), nanofarads (nF), or picofarads
(pF). In general, capacitance is greater in devices with large plate areas, separated by small
distances. When a dielectric is present between two charged plates, its molecules become
polarizedand reduce the internal electric field and hence the voltage. This allows the capacitor to
store more charge for a given voltage, so a dielectric increases the capacitance of a capacitor, by

TYPES
There are many types of capacitor but they can be split into two groups, polarized and
unpolarised. Each group has its own circuit symbol.
Polarized capacitors(large values,1uF+)
Electrolytic capacitors are polarized and they must be connected the correct way round, at least
one of their leads will be marked + or -. They are not damaged by heat when soldering. There are
two designs of electrolytic capacitors; axial where the leads are attached to each end (220uF in
picture) and radial where both leads are at the same end(10 uF in picture). Radial capacitors tend
to be a liitle smaller and they stand upright on the circuit board.
It is easy to find the value of electrolytic capacitors because they are clearly printed with their
capacitance and voltage rating. The voltage rating can be quite low(6V for e.g.) and it should
always be checked when selecting an electrolytic capacitor.
Unpolarized capacitors(small values,up to 1uF)
Small values capacitors are unpolarised and may be connected either way round. They are not
damaged by heat when soldering, except for one unusual type(polystyrene). They have high
voltage ratings of at least 50V, usually 250V or so. It can be difficult to find the values of these
small capacitors because there are many types of them and several different labeling systems!
Polystyrene capacitors
This type is rarely used now. Their value(pf) is normally printed without units polystyrene
capacitors can be damaged by heat when soldering(it melts the polystyrene) so you should use a
heat sink (such as a crocodile clip). Clip the heat sink to the lead between the capacitor and the
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric_constanthttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric_constanthttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric_constanthttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric_constant8/3/2019 Vivek Report
32/35
joint.
Variable capacitor
These are mostly used in radio tuning circuits and theyl are sometimes called tuning capacitors.
They have very small capacitance values, typically between 100pf and 500 pf (100pf=.0001uf).
The type illustrated usually has trimmers built in (for making small adjustments) as well as the
main variable capacitor.
Trimmer capacitors
These are miniature variable capacitors. They are designed to be mounted directly onto the
circuit board and adjusted only when the circuit is built.
A small screwdriver or similar tool is required to adjust trimmers. The process of adjusting them
requires patience because the presence of your hand and the tool will slightly change the
capacitance of the circuit in the region of the trimmer.
Trimmer capacitors are only available with very small capacitance,normally less than 100pf.it is
impossible to reduce their capacitance to zero, so they are usually specified by their minimum
and maximum values,for example2-10pf.
The standard unit of capacitance is the farad, abbreviated F. This is a large unit; more common
units are the microfarad, abbreviated F (1 F =10-6
F) and the Pico farad, abbreviated pF
(1 pF = 10-12
F)
Capacitors can be fabricated onto integrated circuit (IC) chips. They are commonly used in
conjunction with transistors in dynamic random access memory (DRAM). The capacitors help
maintain the contents of memory. Because of their tiny physical size, these components have low
8/3/2019 Vivek Report
33/35
capacitance. They must be recharged thousands of times per second or the DRAM will lose its
data.
Large capacitors are used in the power supplies of electronic equipment of all types, including
computers and their peripherals. In these systems, the capacitors smooth out the rectified utility
AC, providing pure, battery-like DC.
