These components use an electrical signal to cause a mechanical change or vice versa.
Electronics 101: Basic Components & Their Functions ⚡🔧 electronics components and their functions
Transistors act as switches or amplifiers. They control large currents using a very small input voltage or current. These components use an electrical signal to cause
Rectifying AC to DC, protecting circuits from reverse polarity, visual signaling. 3. Integrated Circuits (ICs) protecting circuits from reverse polarity
Resistors limit the flow of electrical current in a circuit. They establish specific voltage levels and protect sensitive parts.
Passive components are electronic components that do not require an external power source to function. They are used to control the flow of electrical current, voltage, and impedance in a circuit.
