16. Transistor Electronics device used to amplify, regulate Polarized Printed Shorted
and switch. equivalent Open
values Leaky

17. Transformer Transformers convert AC electricity from Polarized Printed Open

one voltage to another with little loss of Shorted
power. Transformers work only with AC and
this is one of the reasons why mains
electricity is AC.

18. Inductor An inductor or a reactor is a passive electrical Non-polarized Printed Open

component that can store energy in a Shorted
magnetic field created by the electric current
passing through it.

19. Fuse A fuse functions as a protector for a circuit Non-polarized Printed Open

by creating an open circuit condition when
excessive current is encountered.

20. Switch A simple on-off switch. This type can be Non-polarized Printed Bad contact
used to switch the power supply to a circuit Defective
