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.
