This document provides information on electronics materials, components, and products. It discusses key materials used in electronics like superconductors, conductors, semiconductors, and dielectrics. It also outlines active components like transistors, circuits, and logic gates and passive components such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, and diodes. The document aims to classify and explain electronics materials and components.

7. SUPERCONDUCTORS
A superconductor is a material that can conduct electricity or
transport electrons from one atom to another with no
resistance. This means no heat, sound or any other form of
energy would be released from the material when it has reached
"critical temperature" (Tc), or the temperature at which the
material becomes superconductive.

13. CONDUCTORS
A conductor is an object or type of material that allows the
flow of electrical current in one or more directions.
A wire is an electrical conductor that can carry electricity
along its length.

17. SEMI-CONDUCTORS
Semiconductors are those materials whose conductivities lie
between conductors and insulators. They have poor
conductivity than conductors and higher than insulators.
Therefore, they are neither good conductors nor good
insulators. When temperature of a semiconductor is increased,
its resistivity decreases or conductivity increases. At higher
temperature, a semiconductor conducts better. Therefore ,the
semiconductors have negative temp coefficient of resistance.

DIELECTRICS
A dielectric material (dielectric for short) is an
electrical insulator that can be polarized by an applied electric
field. When a dielectric is placed in an electric field, electric
charges do not flow through the material as they do in
a conductor, but only slightly shift from their average
equilibrium positions causing dielectric polarization.

TRANSISTOR
A transistor is a semiconductor device used
to amplify or switch electronic signals and electrical
power.

CIRCUIT
An electronic circuit is composed of individual electronic components,
such as
Resistors
Transistors
Capacitors
Inductors
Diodes

LOGIC GATES
A logic gate is an elementary building block of a digital circuit. Most
logic gates have two inputs and one output. At any given moment,
every terminal is in one of the two binary conditions low (0)
or high (1), represented by different voltage levels.
32. 32
RESISTOR
A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that
implements electrical resistance as a circuit element. Resistors act
to reduce current flow, and, at the same time, act to lower voltage
levels within circuits. In electronic circuits, resistors are used to
limit current flow, to adjust signal levels, bias active elements, and
terminate transmission lines among other uses.
33. 33
CAPACITOR
capacitors special is used to store energy; they’re like a fully
charged electric battery. Caps, as we usually refer to them, have
all sorts of critical applications in circuits. Common applications
include local energy storage, voltage spike suppression, and
complex signal filtering.
34. 34
INDUCTORS
An inductor, also called a coil or reactor, is a passive two-
terminal electrical component which resists changes
in electric current passing through it. It consists of a
conductor such as a wire, usually wound into a coil. When a
current flows through it, energy is stored temporarily in
a magnetic field in the coil
35. 35
DIODES
A diode is a specialized electronic component with two electrodes
called the anode and the cathode. Most diodes are made
with semiconductor materials such as silicon, germanium, or
selenium. Diodes can be used as rectifiers, signal
limiters, voltage regulators, switches, signal modulators, signal
mixers, signal demodulators, and oscillators.
