Study Notes
Passive Components
- Passive components are not capable of amplifying or generating a signal.
- Passive components are used to control and modify the flow of electrical signals.
- Examples of passive components include resistors, capacitors, and inductors.
Active Components
- Active components are capable of amplifying or generating a signal.
- Active components require a power supply to operate.
- Examples of active components include transistors, amplifiers, and microprocessors.
Resistors
- Resistors are used to resist the flow of current.
- The resistance of a resistor is measured in Ohms (Ω).
- Resistors are used in a wide variety of electronic circuits.
Diodes
- Diodes are components that only conduct electricity in one direction.
- Diodes are used in various applications like rectification, voltage regulation and switching.
Integrated Circuits (ICs)
- Integrated Circuits (ICs) are miniature electronic circuits that are designed to perform a specific function.
- ICs consist of multiple transistors, diodes, and resistors, all integrated on a single semiconductor chip.
- Integrated circuits are widely used in modern electronic devices.
