Introduction To Electronic Components
Electronic Components
Electronic components are the building blocks of electronic devices. They come
in a wide variety of types, each with unique properties and functions. This
presentation will provide an overview of the key passive and active components
used in electronics.

Passive Components
Passive components are those that do not require a power source to operate.
They include resistors, capacitors, and inductors. These components are used to
control and manipulate electrical signals in circuits.
Resistors
1 Resistance 2 Power Rating
Resistors are used to control They have a specific power
the flow of electric current in rating that determines how
a circuit. much power they can safely
dissipate.
3 Tolerance
Resistors have a tolerance that indicates the acceptable range of their
resistance value.
Capacitors
Charge Storage Capacitance Types
Capacitors are used to store electric The capacitance, measured in Farads (F), Capacitors come in various types, such as
charge and energy in a circuit. determines how much charge a capacitor electrolytic, ceramic, and film, each with
can hold. different properties.
Inductors
Coils
Inductors are made of coiled wire that creates a magnetic field when current flows through it.
Inductance
The inductance, measured in Henrys (H), determines an inductor's ability to store energy in its
magnetic field.
Transformers
Transformers are a type of inductor used to step up or step down voltage in a circuit.
Active Components
Active components are those that require a power source to operate. They
include transistors, integrated circuits, and other semiconductor devices. These
components are used to amplify, switch, or control electrical signals in circuits.
Transistors
Amplification
Transistors can be used to amplify small signals into larger ones.
Switching
Transistors can be used as switches to control the flow of current
in a circuit.
Regulation
Transistors can be used to regulate the voltage or current in a
circuit.
Integrated Circuits
Complexity Integrated circuits (ICs) can
contain millions of transistors and
other components on a single
chip.
