Quite often referred to as a cap. Formerly known (primarily in the United Kingdom) as a condenser, but that term has become obsolete. What It Does A capacitor connected across a DC power source will accumulate a charge, which then persists after the source is disconnected. In this way, the capacitor stores (and can then […]

potentiometer What It Does,How It Works,Variants,Values,How to Use it,What Can Go Wrong
Also known as a variable resistor; may be substituted for a rheostat. What It Does When a voltage is applied across a potentiometer, it can deliver a variable fraction of that volt age. It is often used to adjust sensitivity, balance, input, or output, especially in audio equipment and sensors such as motion detectors. A […]

resistor What It Does,How It Works ,Variants,Values,How to Use it and What Can Go Wrong
What It Does A resistor is one of the most fundamental components in electronics. Its purpose is to impede a flow of current and impose a voltage reduction. It consists of two wires or conductors attached at opposite ends or sides of a relatively poor electrical conductor, the resistance of which is measured in ohms, […]

relay What It Does,How It Works ,Variants,Values,How to Use it and What Can Go Wrong
Properly known as an electromagnetic armature relay to distinguish it from a solid-state relay. However, the full term is very rarely used. It may also be described as an electro mechanical relay, but the term relay is normally understood to mean a device that is not solid state. What It Does A relay enables […]
