Geocache Description:

Electronics - The Eagle Scout Series

This is one of the elective merit badges that a scout can select to complete.

The cache is not at the posted coordinates.

I hope you like hiking. You will be doing a lot of that during this series of caches as you work your way toward finding the Eagle Scout Cache.

Electronics, something that I am always facinated with. This merit badge helps scouts learn about resistors, capacitors, and transistors or integrated circuits. Circuits only know two things--ON and OFF. To work with electronics you need to learn the binary numbering system.

To find this cache, find the answers to these questions and then build the coordinates N 39 58.ABC W 111 42.XYZ

Review the requirements for this merit badge and use the requirement number for the answers.

A = Convert this binary number to decimal -- 00001000

B = Which requirement has you draw a simple schematic diagram?

C = In which requirement are you describing the safety precautions you must exercise when using, building, altering, or repairing electronic devices?

X = Which requirement has you build your own computer?

Y = Using Ohm's Law and the equation I = E / R, if E = 12 and R = 1.5, what is I?

Z = Which requirement has you name three types of test equipment and tell how they operate?

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.
