Transformer
Transfers electrical energy between two or more circuits through electromagnetic induction.
Switch
A device for making, breaking, or changing the connections in an electrical circuit.
Integrated Circuit (IC)
A set of electronic circuits on one small flat piece (or 'chip') of semiconductor material.
Variable Resistor (Potentiometer)
A resistor with a variable (adjustable) resistance.
Transistor
Amplifies or switches electronic signals.
Resistor
Limits the flow of electric current in a circuit.
Capacitor
Stores energy in an electric field between its plates.
Diode
Allows current to flow in one direction only, acting as a one-way valve.
Relay
An electrically operated switch using an electromagnet to mechanically operate a circuit switch.
Fuse
A safety device consisting of a strip of wire that melts and breaks an electric circuit if the current exceeds a safe level.
Light Emitting Diode (LED)
A semiconductor light source that emits light when current flows through it.
Inductor
Stores energy in a magnetic field when electric current flows through it.
