Electronics Flashcards
1
Q
Resistors
A
They regulate the flow of electrons
Can have a fixed resistance or a changeable resistance
Measured in ohms
2
Q
Thermistor
A
Change the flow of electrons based on temperature
3
Q
Light dependant resistors
A
Change the flow of electrons based on light
LED’s
4
Q
Diodes
A
Made of semiconducting material
Electrons are only able to pass through in one direction
Controls how electricity moves through a circuit
Processors stage
5
Q
Light emitting diodes
A
As the current flows through the diode component some energy is turned to thermal energy. In LEDs the energy is also transformed into light energy
6
Q
Current
A
The flow of electrons
7
Q
Voltage
A
The push of electrons
8
Q
Resistance
A
Restricts the flow of electrons
9
Q
Ohms law
A
V=IR
Gradient constant
