15. ELECTRONIC COMPONENT
Components that can
generate, amplify, and even
control voltage and current
in a circuit.
ACTIVE COMPONENTS
ACTIVE COMPONENTS
PASSIVE COMPONENTS
Components that do not
generate voltage but
controls the current in a
circuit.
PASSIVE COMPONENTS
RESISTOR
INDUCTOR
CAPACITOR
TRANSISTOR
IC
DIODE
19. DIODE
Has two terminals that
are anode and cathode. It
allows electron current flow
from cathode to anode but it
blocks another direction.
20. TRANSISTOR
Used to control the flow
of current and voltage in the
circuits. Also used as detector
and amplifier.
21. INTEGRATED CIRCUIT
is a small chip that can
function as an amplifier,
oscillator, timer, microprocessor
or even computer memory. An IC
is usually made of silicon that can
hold anywhere from hundreds to
millions of transistors, resistors,
and capacitors.
27. MULTIMETER
Also known as
a VOM (volt-ohm-
milliammeter). Use
to measure voltage,
current and
resistance.
28. VOLTMETER
Measures voltage. Has very high resistance. Connected
in parallel.
OHMMETER
Measures resistance.
AMMETER
Measures electric current. Has near zero resistance.
Connected serially.
