Circuit components:

Buzzer-
An electronic signalling device that makes a noise. It can be used to draw someone’s
attention. Their also often used in gaming shows.

LED-
LED stands for light emitting diode. This small invention emits light when
activated. LEDs have lots of qualities which make them better than normal
bulbs such as; they emit more watts, they can emit various colours, they can
be small and compact, they radiate a lot less heat and they can be dimmed.

Transistor-
A transistor is a device that regulates electrical flow. This device is a key component in
many modern electrical devices. Unfortunately, the transistor is prone to aging and
can over time fail.

Switch-
A switch stops and starts electrical flow. Switches are used in almost
all electrical devices to turn them on and off.

Battery-
Batteries convert chemical energy directly into electrical energy. Batteries are used
to power circuits and almost all devices.

Variable resistor-
A variable resistor is like a normal resistor however can regulate
the amount of electrical flow instead of only being able to regulate
let’s say 500 watts.
