Circuit
|
A network of electrical components connected by conductors(wires) which current can flow
|
|
Load
|
Any device in a circuit that consumes power ex:tv
|
|
Resistor
|
Two terminal component that reduces the flow of urgent or causes voltage to drop
|
|
Inductor
|
An inductor is a passive electronic component that storesenergy in the form of a magnetic field. In its simplest form, an inductor consistsof a wire loop or coil.
|
|
Diode
|
Two terminal conponet that conducts electricity in ony one direction
|
|
Transistor
|
Semi conductor that amplifies or switches an electronic signal
|
|
Fuse
|
Device designed to prevent damage to other components in the circuit by self-destructing before excess current can reach sensitive components
|
|
Transformer
|
Device that increases or reduces voltage
|
|
Transducer
|
Device that transfers one type of energy to another ex: electrical to mechanical.
