Year 10 Electronics Flashcards
Cell
Transforms chemical energy into electrical energy
Battery
Two or more cells in series
Switch
Connects the components in a circuit
Resistor
It slows down the flow of electrons in a circuit
Variable resistor
Slows down the flow of electrons in a circuit the resistors resistance can be changed
Light dependent resistor (LDR)
The resistor depends on the lights more light means less resistance in light, the current will flow through the circuit .
Transistor
An electronic switch that will allow current to flow through the colector and out the emitor when there is 0.7 volts in the base
Buzzer
An output component that makes sound
Light emitting diode (LED)
Current only flows one direction it doesn’t light up if it’s the wrong way around
