Q

A collective term applied to the positive (+) and negative ( - ) ends of a magnet or electrical mechanism such as a coil or battery.

22
Q

A closed path in which electrons from a voltage or current source flow. Circuits can be in series, parallel, or in any combination of the two.

23
Q

are those that don’t have the ability to amplify or process electrical signal.

A

PASSIVE COMPONENTS

24
Q

is a two-terminal passive electronics component, used to oppose or limit the current.

25
A component that is used to stores electrical energy in the form of an electric field and release them whenever desired. Measured in Farads
Capacitors
26
An inductor is also referred as AC resistor which stores electrical energy in the form of magnetic energy. Measured in Henry.
Inductors
27
is a static device which is used for increasing or decreasing the alternating voltages in electric power applications through the process of electromagnetic induction.
TRANSFORMER
28
These components rely on a source of energy and are able to control the electron flow through them. They have the ability to amplify or process electrical signals.
ACTIVE COMPONENTS
29
is a device that allows current to flow in one direction and usually made with semiconductor material.
DIODE
30
is a three terminal semiconductor device. Mostly it is used as switching device and also as an amplifier.
TRANSISTOR
31
is a special component which is fabricated with thousands of transistors, resistors, diodes and other electronic components on a tiny silicon chip.
Integrated Circuit (IC)
32
is a flat display technology, which is mostly used in applications like computer monitors, cell phone display, calculators, etc
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
33
are most common power source for standalone industrial, domestic and handheld device applications. It converts chemical energy into electrical energy through electrochemical discharge reactions. Connecting two batteries in series sums up the total voltages. For example two batteries 5volts each connected in series has a total voltage of 10volts.
BATTERIES
34
is a type of electric battery, commonly used for portable electrical devices
Dry Cell Batteries
35
are dry cell batteries that can’t be recharged.
Primary Cell
36
are dry cell batteries that can be recharged.
Secondary Cell
37
are batteries used on vehicles.
Wet Cell batteries
38
is a solderless device for temporary prototype with electronics and test circuit designs. Most electronic components in electronic circuits can be interconnected by inserting their leads or terminals into the holes and then making connections through wires.
Bread board
39
mechanically supports and electrically connects electronic components permanently. Components are generally soldered onto the PCB to both electrically connect and mechanically fasten them to it.
PCB or Printed Circuit Board
40
is traditionally the process of using strong acid or mordant to cut into the unprotected parts of a metal surface. Modern etching uses computers
Etching
41
is a process in which two or more metal items are joined together by melting and then flowing a filler metal into the joint—the filler metal having a relatively low melting point.
