ETO Q&A Part II: Electron Theory to Power Electronics

 

 

 

72 

All the key electronics a ship's ETO needs for exams and daily watchkeeping

 

ELECTRON THEORY AND ATOMIC FUNDAMENTALS

Everything on a ship — cables, motor windings, power semiconductors — is built from atoms. For an ETO, understanding atomic structure is the foundation that makes all of electronics logical rather than a memory exercise.

Q1: What is an atom and what are its main components?
A: An atom is the smallest particle that carries the chemical identity of an element. The word comes from the Greek for indivisible. Every atom has a dense nucleus at its centre containing protons and neutrons, with electrons existing in probability orbitals (electron clouds) around the nucleus. Over 99.9% of an atom's mass sits in the nucleus. Protons carry positive charge, neutrons
