Battery
A battery provides a voltage source by converting stored chemical energy into electrical energy.
Current Source
A current source delivers or absorbs a constant current, regardless of the voltage across it.
Inductor
An inductor stores energy in a magnetic field when current flows through it, used in filters, chokes, and energy storage.
Capacitor
A capacitor stores energy in an electric field, used to filter signals or store charge for later release.
Transistor (PNP)
A PNP transistor is similar to an NPN but with opposite polarity. Current flows from the emitter when base is low.
Voltage Source
A voltage source provides a fixed voltage difference between two points in an electrical circuit.
Fuse
A fuse is a safety device that interrupts the circuit by melting when the current exceeds a specific value.
Transistor (NPN)
An NPN transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify or switch electronic signals.
Resistor
A resistor is used to restrict the flow of current and lower voltage levels within circuits.
LED (Light Emitting Diode)
An LED is a diode that emits light when current flows through it, used for indication and lighting.
Switch (SPST - Single Pole Single Throw)
A SPST switch connects or disconnects the conductive path in a circuit and controls the flow of current.
Variable Resistor (Potentiometer)
A variable resistor, or potentiometer, adjusts circuit resistance manually to vary the flow of current.
Ground
A ground symbol represents a reference point in an electrical circuit from which voltages are measured.
Transformer
A transformer transfers electrical energy between two or more circuits through electromagnetic induction.
Diode
A diode allows current to flow in only one direction and is used as rectifiers, signal limiters, or voltage regulators.
