About basic electronic components

1. IDENTIFYING BASIC
ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS
AND SYMBOLS
MODULE 1

2. BASIC ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS
PASSIVE ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS
These are components that consume energy. It does
not produce energy, and it is incapable of power gain and
requires no electrical power to operate. They simply
absorb energy. A typical example of passive electronic
components would be resistors and capacitors.

3. ACTIVE COMPONENTS
Rely on a source of energy. It usually from the DC circuit,
which we have chosen to ignore and usually can inject power
into a circuit, though this is not part of the definition. Active
components include amplifying components such as transistors,
triode vacuum tubes, and tunnel diodes.

4. ELECTRICAL TEST AND CONTROL EQUIPMENT
Electrical test and control equipment are devices for
measuring and testing of physical quantities or performance of
electrical equipment, circuits or components. They are also used
to monitor and control processes. They present information
analogically, digitally or printed.

5. PASSIVE ELECTRONIC SYMBOLS
Symbols Components Description
Resistor
A resistor is a passive two
terminal electrical component
that implements electrical
resistance as a circuit's
elements. In electronic circuits,
resistors are used to reduce
current flow, adjust signal
levels, to divide voltages, bias
active elements, and terminate
transmission lines, among
others uses.

6. Inductor/ Coil
An inductor, also called a
coil, chokes, or reactor, is a
passive two terminal
electrical component that
stores energy in a
magnetic field when
electric current flows
through it. An inductor
typically consists of an
insulated wire wound into a
coil around a core.
Switch
Use to control the flow of
electric current

7. Pushbutton
The pushbutton is a component
that connects two points in a
circuit when you press it.
Fuse
A fuse is an electrical safety
device that operates to provide
overcurrent protection of an
electrical circuits. Its essential
component it is a metal wire or
strip that melts when too much
current flows through it, thereby
stopping or interrupting the
current

8. Electric line/ wire
A wire is a single usually
cylindrical, flexible strand or
rod of metal. Wires are used to
bear mechanical loads or
electricity and
telecommunication signals.
Ground
Ground or earth is the
reference point in an electrical
circuit from which voltage are
measured, a common return
path for electric current, or a
direct physical connection to
the earth

9. ACTIVE ELECTRONIC SYMBOLS
Symbols Components Description
Diode
A diode is a semiconductor
device that essentially acts as
a one-way switch for current. It
allows currents to flow easily
in one direction, but severely
restricts current from flowing in
the opposite direction.

10. Thyristor
A thyristor is a four-layer device
with alternating P- type and N-
type semiconductors ( P-N-P-N ).
In its most basic form, a thyristor
has three terminals: anode
( positive terminal ), cathode
( negative terminal ), and gate
( control terminal ). The gate
controls the flow of current
between the anode and cathode
IC/ Chip
An integrated circuit or monolithic
integrated circuit. It is also
referred to as an IC, a chip, or a
microchip. It is also a set of
electronic circuits on one small
flat piece of semiconductor
material that is normally silicon.

11. Electric Generator
In electricity generation, a
generator is a device that
convert motive power
( mechanical energy ) into
electrical power for use in
an external circuit.
Transistor
A transistor is a device that
regulates current or voltage
flow and acts as a switch or
gate for electronic signals.
Transistors consist of three
layers of a semiconductor
material, each capable of
carrying a current.

12. Battery
An automotive battery is a
rechargeable battery that is
used to start a motor
vehicle.
