CAPACITOR A capacitor consists of two It stores electrical energy in an


conductive plates separated by an electric field between its plates. A
insulating material called a capacitor is rated by its
dielectric. It may be disc-shaped, capacitance, measured in farads,
box-shaped, or cylindrical, which indicates how much charge
depending on its type and it can store, and by its maximum
application. Capacitors are voltage, which is the highest
commonly used in electronic voltage it can safely handle. It is
circuits to store electrical energy, also used in circuits for filtering,
filter signals, and stabilize voltage. timing, coupling, and stabilizing
voltage.

RESISTOR A resistor is a small electronic Its has ability to oppose the flow
component, usually cylindrical or of electric current in a circuit,
rectangular in shape, with color thereby controlling the amount of
bands or printed numbers that current that passes through it.
indicate its resistance value. It is This opposition is measured in
commonly made from carbon, ohms and helps protect other
metal film, or wire-wound materials components by preventing
excessive current. Resistors also
convert electrical energy into
heat, allowing circuits to operate
safely and efficiently.

BATTERY A battery is a sealed device with It stores electrical energy in an


two terminals that contains one or electric field. It is rated by
more electrochemical cells to store capacitance (farads) and
and provide electrical energy. It is maximum voltage.
available in various sizes and
shapes depending on its intended
application, ranging from small
button cells for watches to large
units for vehicles and backup
power systems.

switch .A switch is a mechanical device Controls current flow; rated by
