Basic Electronics Components
Mikayla Denny
Function: Stores electrical energy. Has polarity (positive and negative terminal)
Battery
Function: Amplifies voltage or current. Has three terminals.
BipolarTransistor
Function: Slide or button that opens or closes a current. May have many terminals, but needs at least two.
Switch
Function: Resists flow of current.Resistor
Function: Variable-value resistor; adjusts resistance by twisting shaft
Potentiometer
Function: Special resistor varying resistance according to the intensity of the light hitting the surface.
Photocell
Function: Temporary battery; stores small amounts of electricity.
CeramicCapacitor
Function: Stores large amounts of electricity; has polarity.
ElectrolyticCapacitor
Function: Allows current to flow through in a single direction. Has two leads.
Diode
Function: Emits light when a current flows through. Has two terminals.
Light Emitting Diode
Function: Allows current to flow only after a positive voltage is applied for a moment to the gate.
