Electronic Components

are parts of an electronic system or device, that when combined, forms electronic circults

Basic Electronic Components:

1. Capacitor - temporarily stores electrical charge in an electrical field.

2. Diode - lets the current flow in only one direction.

3. Integrated Circuit (IC) - contains an entire electronic circuit that is contained inside a chip.

4. Light-emitting diode (LED) - emits light when current passes through it.

5. Resistor - resists the flow of the current

6. Transistor - semiconductor device that is capable of amplification.

7. Wire - connects the component to the others so that the current can pass through.

8. Cell- supplies electrical energy to a circuit.

9. Fuse - safety device designed to melt the circuit when current exceeds the specific value

10. Transformer - consist of two coils that are linked by an iron core.
