 Power supplies:-

Electronic Circuit symbol Description


componen
t
Battery A battery is an electrochemical cell that can be
charged electrically to provide a static potential
for power or released electrical charge when
needed.
DC supply is the unidirectional flow of an electric charge
An electrochemical cell is a prime example of
DC power.
AC supply is an electric current which periodically
reverses direction in contrast to direct current
(DC) which flows only in one direction
Fuse is an electrical safety device that operates to
provide overcurrent protection of an electrical
circuit
 Power supplies
Earth/groun ground or earth is the reference point in an
d electrical circuit from which voltages are
measured, a common return path for electric
current, or a direct physical connection to the
earth.
 Resistor

Electronic Circuit symbol Description


component
Resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component
that implements electrical resistance as a
circuit element
Rheostat adjustable resistor used in applications that
require the adjustment of current or the
varying of resistance in an electric circuit.
Potentiometer is a three-terminal resistor with a sliding or
rotating contact that forms an adjustable
voltage divider If only two terminals are used,
one end and the wiper, it acts as a variable
resistor or rheostat.
 Capacitors:-

Electronic Circuit symbol Description


component
Capacitor is a device that stores electrical energy in an
electric field. It is a passive electronic
component with two terminals.
Capacitor is a type of capacitor that have implicit polarity
polarized it can only be connected one way in a circuit
Variable is a capacitor whose capacitance may be
Capacitor intentionally and repeatedly changed
mechanically or electronically
 Diodes:-
Electronic Circuit symbol Description
component
Diode is a two-terminal electronic component that
conducts current primarily in one direction
(asymmetric conductance); it has low (ideally
zero) resistance in one direction, and high
(ideally infinite) resistance in the other.
Light emitting is a semiconductor light source that emits light
diode (LED) when current flows through it. Electrons in the
semiconductor recombine with electron holes,
releasing energy in the form of photons.
Zener diode is a type of diode that allows current to flow in
the conventional manner - from its anode to its
cathode i.e. when the anode is positive with
respect to the cathode
Photo diode is a semiconductor device that converts light
into an electrical current. The current is
generated when photons are absorbed in the
photodiode
 Transistors:-
Electronic Circuit symbol Description
component
NPN is one of the two types of bipolar transistors,
Transistor consisting of a layer of P-doped semiconductor
(the "base") between two N-doped layers
PNP The other type of BJT is the PNP, consisting of a
transistor layer of N-doped semiconductor between two
layers of P-doped material. A small current
leaving the base is amplified in the collector
output.
Photo is a device that converts light energy into
transistor electric energy. Phototransistors are similar to
photoresistors but produce both current and
voltage, while photoresistors only produce
current.
