Electronics Components:

Electronic components are classified in two categories active and passive


components. Components which produces the energy in the form of voltage or
current are called as active components and components which stores the
energy in the form of voltage or current are called as passive components.

Active components:

Transistors :
• Important semiconductor device that has the ability to amplify the weak
signals.
• In digital electronics and computer field it is used as switch.
• Made up of solid semiconductor material with at least three terminals.

Integrated Circuits :
Also called as micro chip, silicon chip, chip or IC.
It is fabricated with millions of resistors, capacitors, transistors etc.
• It can be used as amplifier, counter, oscillator, memory, microprocessor
etc.
Gates :
• Logical circuit with one or more input signal, but only one output signal.
• Circuit which works on input and output signals are of two states logic 0
and logic 1.
• Logic 0 represents as low voltage and logic 1 as high voltage.
• Types of gates are AND, OR, NOT, NAND etc.

Passive components:

Resistors :
• An electrical device that reduces the flow of electric current in the
circuit.
• Allows us to control the current.
• Resistors are in different shapes and sizes.
• Resistors dissipiates heat from it.
Capacitors :
• Capacitor is used to store charge.
• It contains two metal plates separated by thin sheet of insulating material.
• There are variety of sizes and types of capacitors.
Inductors :
• Is essentially conducting coil of wire wounded on core material.
• When an electric current flows through the inductor, a magnetic field is
generated.
• This magnetic energy is stored in the inductor, until the current flow
through it.

Diodes :
• Allow flow of current in one direction and block flow of current in
opposite direction.
• Made up of semiconducting materials, silicon or germanium.
• Contains two electrodes called anode and cathode.
• Use to measure the current, voltage, resistance, impedance, power etc.

Digital multimeter:
• It can measure voltage, resistance, current, impedance, capacitance,
frequency etc.
• It uses LCD display to show exact reading values.
• Allows you to select the function you want to measure.
• Compact and handy.
• It is simplest and cheapest measuring instrument.
• Some instruments have auto power off function
Oscilloscope:
• Displays a graph of varying voltage against time.
• Waveform shapes tells you the changes in the signal.
• Signal to be measured is fed through input connector.
• Display panel consists of CRT tube or LCD.
• Modern oscilloscopes are light weight and portable.
• A medical researcher uses an oscilloscope to measure brain waves.
Function generators:
• Use to generate patterns of voltage against variety of amplitudes and
frequencies.
• Allows users to choose the shape of patterns like sine, square, triangle
etc.
• Generally used in testing and repairing electronic components.

Required Components:

1) Ossciliscope
2) Digital Multimeter
3) Function Generator
