TLEEE >:(( Flashcards
active electronic components
transistors diodes and IC (integrated circuits)
passive electronic components
resistors, capacitors, coils, and transformers
types of resistors
wire wound, carbon-composition resistors, fixed resistor
the basic unit of current
ampere
the opposition to the flow of electrions
resistance
a scheme to determine the value of resistors by color bands printed on their bodies as cord
resistor color coding
the fourth color in the 3-band color coding that indicates the percentage of deviation from its color-coded value
tolerance
an electrical pressure that pushes current to flow within a load through a conductor
voltage
an eleectronic instrument used to measure resistance of a component or the entire circuit
ohmmeter
an electronic component that is used to offer opposition to current in an electrical circuit
resistor
a portion in the ohmmeter where the actual reading is multiplied b the range value
range multiplier
unit of voltage
volt
a wire, cable, or other body or medium that is suitable for carrying electric current
conductor
a branch of science and technology that deals with the controlled flow of electrons
electronics
a component designed intentionally to have a definite amount of resistance
resistor
an electric current that flows in one direction
direct current
the electrical pressure that existed between two points and capable of producing a flow of current whn a close circuit is connected between the points
voltage
separated or individual components
discrete components
connecting two lengths of conductor
splicing
an instrument that measures the amount of electromotive force in a component or circuit
voltmeter
a material that serves as insulator because it has poor electric conductivity
dielectric material
a positive eelectrode of semiconductor device
anode
changs th amplitude of asignal between input and output
active component
circuit that increases the voltage, current, or power of a signal
amplifier
