components.

Item No Component Name Component Symbol Physical Shape Applications

1 Resistor ---/\/\/--- Cylindrical with bands Limits current

2 Capacitor || Two parallel plates Stores electric charge

3 Inductor coil Coil or wire loop Stores magnetic energy

4 Diode -->|-- Small cylinder Allows current one way

5 LED -->|>-- Glowing diode Lights up in circuits

6 Transistor NPN 3-legged package Amplifies signals

7 Battery + || - Cylindrical or box Power source

8 Switch --o o-- Toggle/slide Open/close circuit

9 Transformer ||--|| Core + windings Changes voltage

10 Fuse ---S--- Thin wire or tube Protects from overcurrent


2. Resistance Measurement Experiment

(a) Resistance measurements with dry skin:

- Right hand to left hand: ____________ Ohms

- Either hand to either ankle: ____________ Ohms

(b) Repeat with wet skin:

- Right hand to left hand: ____________ Ohms

- Either hand to either ankle: ____________ Ohms

(c) Is resistance lower when skin is wet?

Ans: Yes. Moisture reduces skin resistance.

(d) Will current flow more when skin is wet or dry?

Ans: Wet. Wet skin conducts more electricity.

(e) Voltage Calculation using V = I x R:

- Dry (Right hand to left hand): 0.1A x R = ____ Volts

- Dry (Hand to ankle): 0.1A x R = ____ Volts

- Wet (Right hand to left hand): 0.1A x R = ____ Volts

- Wet (Hand to ankle): 0.1A x R = ____ Volts

3. Component Analysis and Faults

(a) Build a simple circuit using components:

Ans: LED + Resistor + Battery.

(b) Possible capacitor faults:

Ans: Leakage, short/open circuit, loss of capacitance.

(c) Inductor faults (short/open circuit):

Ans: Short due to insulation failure; open from broken wire.

(d) Five lab safety rules:


1. Don't touch live wires.

2. Use dry hands.

3. Wear protective gear.

4. Disconnect power first.

5. Avoid water near setup.

(e) Active vs Passive Components:

Active Components: Transistor, Diode, LED, IC, SCR

Passive Components: Resistor, Capacitor, Inductor, Transformer, Thermistor

(f) Differences:

Active Components vs. Passive Components

------------------------------------------------------

Require power source | No power needed

Examples: Diode, Transistor | Examples: Resistor, Capacitor

Control current flow | Do not control flow

Non-linear | Linear

(g) Faults in active components:

Ans: Overheating, breakdown, leakage, burnout.

(h) Possible resistor fault:

Ans: Open circuit or value drift due to heat.
