Q

diodes

draw it

A
  • allows current to flow only one way
  • rectification ( A.C to D.C)
  • emits light
  • blocks current from traveling in opposite direction (PROTECTS battery)

ex. when u put batteries in backwards it wont workk

Q

transistors

draw it

A
  • blocks or amplifies electric current
  • C : current flows to E, through B like a door
  • B : can stop or allow current to flow

ex. binary code
