Electrical Circuit

Information about Electronics

This article is very broad, But in this blog  I will be told about some basic components of circuits.

What are Electrical circuits:

An electrical circuit is a path or line through which an electrical current flows. The path may be closed (joined at both ends), making it a loop.

 Basic components of circuits;

          An electronic circuit comprises of various types of components, which are classified into two types: active components like transistors, diodes, IC's; and passive components like capacitors, resistors, inductors, etc. ... Basic electronic components: capacitors, resistors, diodes, transistors, etc.

Resistance;

Resistance is the measure of opposition to electric current. A short circuit is an electric circuit offering little or no resistance to the flow of electrons. Short circuits are dangerous with high voltage power sources because the high currents encountered can cause large amounts of heat energy to be released.

Symbol of resistance :

Diode;

       a semiconductor device with two terminals, typically allowing the flow of current in one direction only.

Symbol of diode;

Transistor ;

A transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify or switch electronic signals and electrical power. It is composed of semiconductor material usually with at least three terminals for connection to an external circuit.

Symbol of transistor;

Capacitor:

a device used to store an electric charge, consisting of one or more pairs of conductors separated by an insulator.

Symbol of capacitor;

Inductor;

a component in an electric or electronic circuit which possesses inductance.

Symbol of inductor;

Integrated circuits;

An integrated circuit, or IC, is small chip that can function as an amplifier, oscillator, timer, microprocessor, or even computer memory. An IC is a small wafer, usually made of silicon, that can hold anywhere from hundreds to millions of transistors, resistors, and capacitors.
