Electronics Flashcards
Diode
Allows electricity to flow in one direction only
Bulb
A bulb has a wire filament made of tungsten that glows brightly when hot
Battery
A battery is a power supply in a circuit
Slide switch
A switch can make or break a contact
Motor
A motor has a shaft that spins when electricity flows through it
Transistor
It acts as a switch and an amplifier
Non electric capacitor
A capacitor stores up electric charge and releases it
Light emitting diode
Light emitting diode produces light when electricity passes through it. LED has a positive and a negative leg
Resistor
Slows down the flow of electricity charge measured in ohms
Variable resistor
Increases/decreases the resistor/resistance
LDR
Light dependent resistor
Increases resistance in the dark decreases resistance in the light
Buzzer
Makes noise when electricity flows through it
