BASIC ELECTRONICS
Resistors- is a passive two-terminal electrical component that
implements electrical resistance as a circuit element. Resistors
act to reduce current flow, and, at the same time, act to lower
voltage levels within circuits.

Capacitor- (originally known as a condenser) is a passive twoterminal electrical component used to store electrical energy
temporarily in an electric field.
2 Sample Circuits

Diode- is a specialized electronic component with two

electrodes called the anode and the cathode. Most diodes are

made with semiconductor materials such as silicon, germanium,

or selenium.

Transistor- is a semiconductor device used to amplify or switch

electronic signals and electrical power. It is composed of
semiconductor material with at least three terminals for
connection to an external circuit.

Sample Circuit

Relay- is an electrically operated switch. Many relays use an

electromagnet to mechanically operate a switch, but other
operating principles are also used, such as solid-state relays.
Relays are used where it is necessary to control a circuit by a
low-power signal (with complete electrical isolation between
control and controlled circuits), or where several circuits must
be controlled by one signal. The first relays were used in long
distance telegraph circuits as amplifiers: they repeated the
signal coming in from one circuit and re-transmitted it on
another circuit. Relays were used extensively in telephone
exchanges and early computers to perform logical operations .
LED(light-emitting diode)- is a two-lead semiconductor light
source. It is a pn junction diode, which emits light when
activated.[4] When a suitable voltage is applied to the leads,
electrons are able to recombine with electron holes within the

device, releasing energy in the form of photons. This effect is

called electroluminescence, and the color of the light
(corresponding to the energy of the photon) is determined by
the energy band gap of the semiconductor.
