What’s In

What are the components of a timing circuit? Recall what you have learned in electronic
components. Identify the component of a timing circuit being described in each statement.
Component Description Symbol
Resistor
This device reduce the flow
of current.

1.

It stores electrical charge.

2. This type of capacitor has

distinct positive and
negative terminals. A plus
sign is used in the schematic
diagram to
indicate the polarity
3.
A capacitor without positive
or negative polarity. It can be
randomly inserted into the
circuit.

4.
Popularly called as
“microchip” or simply
“chip.” It replaces the
bulky vacuum tubes.

5.

The timing interval is

controlled by an external
(RC) network.
