Electronic components are the most important parts in an electronic device. It is the components that make an electronic device function properly. If you have the intention to study electrical engineering, you should first start learning about the functions of several important electronic components that are often used in electronic circuits. In this article we will provide information about the various components that are often used in electronic circuits. For those of you who want to learn about the world of electrical engineering, you can start to understand the names and functions of some of the components in this article. At least by knowing about electronic components, you can start assembling basic electronic devices that are easy to make.
The following are some of the electronic components that you must know before you dive into the world of electrical engineering. We will divide the types of components into two, namely passive and active components.
Active type electronic components are components that cannot function if there is no electricity in them. Therefore, usually you can see these components are not too far from the position of the incoming electric current in the electronic schematic. The following are several kinds of active type components.
- Transistor
- IC
- Tube lamp
- Diode
- LED
These components cannot function if there is no electricity flowing them, so you need to circulate electricity to some of these components by placing them close to the position of the incoming electric current in the electronic appliance assembly that you are going to make.
In addition, other components that you need to know are components that are passive. This component can function properly without the need for electricity. Usually this passive type component functions as a conductor or barrier of electric current in the component. The following are some components that are passive.
- Resistors
- Capacitor
- Transformer
- Relay
- Switch
Hopefully with this basic electronics science you can understand a little about the world of electricity and can make it easier for you to practice making various kinds of simple electrical tools first with a few numbers of electronic components.
Thus an explanation of the variety or kinds of electronic components, hopefully our description can add insight for you.
