Introduction to Basic Electronic Components. Understanding the Building Blocks of Electronics.
Resistor. A resistor is a component that resists the flow of electric current. Symbol & Unit: Ω (Ohm) Uses: Voltage division, current control.
Capacitor. A capacitor stores electrical energy in an electric field. Symbol & Unit: F (Farad) Uses: Filtering, smoothing, timing.
Inductor. An inductor stores energy in a magnetic field when current flows through it. Symbol & Unit: H (Henry) Uses: Filtering, energy storage, tuning.
Diode. A diode allows current to flow in one direction only. Types: PN Diode, Zener Diode, LED Uses: Rectification, voltage regulation, indication.
Transistor. A transistor amplifies or switches electronic signals. Types: NPN, PNP (BJT), MOSFET Uses: Amplifier, Switch, Signal Modulation.
Integrated Circuit (IC). An IC contains multiple electronic components in one package. Uses: Microprocessors, Amplifiers, Logic gates.
Switch. A switch opens or closes a circuit path manually or automatically. Types: SPST, SPDT, Push Button.
Battery. A battery provides DC power to circuits. Types: AA, Coin Cell, Li-ion.
