StarStarStarStar

Resistor

StarStarStarStar

A device that opposes the flow of electrical current.

StarStarStarStar

Capacitor

StarStarStarStar

A device used to store an electric charge, consisting of one or more pairs of conductors separated by an insulator.

StarStarStarStar

Inductor

StarStarStarStar

A coil of wire that creates a magnetic field when current flows through it and opposes changes in the current.

StarStarStarStar

Diode

StarStarStarStar

A device that allows current to flow in only one direction.

StarStarStarStar

LED

StarStarStarStar

Light Emitting Diode, a semiconductor device that emits light when current flows through it.

StarStarStarStar

Transistor (NPN)

StarStarStarStar

A semiconductor device used to amplify or switch electronic signals and electrical power.

StarStarStarStar

Transistor (PNP)

StarStarStarStar

Similar to NPN but with opposite semiconductor type, allowing current to flow when low base current is applied.

StarStarStarStar

Operational Amplifier (Op-Amp)

StarStarStarStar

High-gain voltage amplifier with a differential input and usually a single-ended output.

StarStarStarStar

Transformer

StarStarStarStar

A device that transfers electrical energy between two or more circuits through electromagnetic induction.

StarStarStarStar

Potentiometer

StarStarStarStar

A three-terminal resistor with a sliding or rotating contact that forms an adjustable voltage divider.

StarStarStarStar

Fuse

StarStarStarStar

A safety device that stops the flow of current when the current exceeds a certain level.

StarStarStarStar

Integrated Circuit (IC)

StarStarStarStar

A set of electronic circuits on one small flat piece (or 'chip') of semiconductor material.

StarStarStarStar

Switch (SPST)

StarStarStarStar

Single Pole Single Throw switch, controls the connection of a circuit to one path.

StarStarStarStar

Voltage Source

StarStarStarStar

A two-terminal device that maintains a fixed voltage across its terminals.

StarStarStarStar

Current Source

StarStarStarStar

A two-terminal electronic device that delivers or absorbs an electric current which is independent of the voltage across it.

StarStarStarStar

Ground

StarStarStarStar

A reference point in an electrical circuit from which voltages are measured, a common return path for current, or a direct physical connection to the Earth.

StarStarStarStar

Electrolytic Capacitor

StarStarStarStar

A type of capacitor with a larger capacitance per unit volume than other types, which uses an electrolyte as one of its plates to achieve a larger capacitance.

StarStarStarStar

Crystal Oscillator

StarStarStarStar

An electronic oscillator circuit that uses the mechanical resonance of a vibrating crystal to create an electrical signal with a precise frequency.

StarStarStarStar

Variable Resistor (Rheostat)

StarStarStarStar

A resistor whose resistance can be adjusted manually.

StarStarStarStar

Thermistor

StarStarStarStar

A type of resistor whose resistance is dependent on temperature, more so than in standard resistors.
