resistor O
M
P
•A resistor is a passive two-terminal
electrical component that implements O
electrical resistance as a circuit element. N
• Inelectronic circuits, resistors are used to E
reduce current flow, adjust signal levels, N
to divide voltages, bias active elements,
and terminate transmission lines, among T
other uses. S

CAPACITOR O
M
P
• Its function is to store the electrical energy
and give this energy again to the circuit O
when necessary. N
• In other words, it charges and discharges E
the electric charge stored in it. Besides N
this, the functions of a capacitor are as
follows: It blocks the flow of DC and T
permits the flow of AC. S

DIODE O
M
P
• allow an electric current to pass in one
direction (called the diode's forward
O
direction), while blocking current in the N
opposite direction (the reverse direction). E
Thus, the diode can be viewed as an
electronic version of a check valve.

IC O
(Integrated Circuit) M
P
• sometimes called a chip or microchip, is a

•A VOM is battery powered and is used E
with the current turned off. It's used to R
check continuity in a wire or component
and to measure the electrical current -- I
from 0 to 250 volts, AC (alternating A
current, as in houses) or DC (direct
current, as in batteries) -- flowing through L

customer. It might violate a contract agreement or in might just not be suitable for sale at full price. But a

defect can be anything I want it to be. A test value that violates my manufacturing spec might be a defect
