Classification of Electronic Components

This document classifies and describes basic electronic components. It divides components into two categories: 1) Active components, which require a power source to function and control electricity flow. Examples given are semiconductors like diodes and transistors, as well as displays and power sources. Diodes and transistors are described in more detail. 2) Passive components, which can store or maintain energy without an external power source. Examples given are resistors, capacitors, inductors, and transformers. Resistors and capacitors are described briefly. The document provides a table defining common electrical parameters like voltage, current, resistance, and their units of measurement.

Classification of Electronic Components

 Active Electronic Components


Active electronic components are those that rely on a source of
energy to function and are able to control to control the flow of
electricity. Example of these components are semiconductors
like diodes, transistors, integrated circuits, various displays like
LCD, LED, CRTs and power sources like batteries, PV cells and
other AC and DC supply sources.

Diodes- A diode is a device that lets current flow in only one Transistors- A transistor is a three-terminal device in which a voltage
direction. A diode has two terminals, called the anode and applied to one of the terminals (called the base) can control current
the cathode. Current will flow through the diode only when that flows across the other two terminals (called the collector and
positive voltage is applied to the anode and negative voltage to
the emitter). The transistor is one of the most important devices in
the cathode. If these voltages are reversed, current will not
flow. electronics.

Light-Emitting Diodes- A light-emitting diode (or LED) is a


special type of diode that emits light when current passes
through it.
