An Overview of Electronic Components
Electronic components are the parts that make up an electronic circuit. Any one circuit might contain a number of components in order to make it function correctly. A discrete electronic component can be put with other discrete components to create a circuit, whereas an integrated circuit (or chip) works on its own. It contains a tiny circuit on silicone and has the benefit of being suitable for large-scale manufacture. Components include resistors, capacitors and diodes. A resistor is used to…
