OBJECTIVES
• Identify the basic electronic
components such as resistors,
capacitors, diodes, transistors, and
LEDs by name and symbol.
• Handle electronic components with care
and correct orientation (e.g., identifying
polarity of an LED or diode).
• Show curiosity and enthusiasm in
exploring the functions of various
Warm-Up
Component Investigation
Each group will be given a
picture/actual component to inspect.
Findings of the group will be written
in a manila paper and will be
presented.

Componen
ts
Resistor
reduce the current that
flows through a part of
the circuit.
Example: In an LED
circuit, a resistor
prevents too much
current from damaging
the LED.
Diode
allows current
to flow in only
one direction —
from the anode
(positive) to the
cathode (negative)
Capacitor
stores electrical
energy in an electric
field
plays a vital role in
timing, filtering, and
energy management
within electronic circuits.
Transistor
used to amplify or
switch electronic signals
one of the most
essential components in
modern electronics —
acting as the "brain" or
"muscle" of a circuit.
Inductor
stores energy in a
magnetic field when
electric current flows
through it
plays a crucial role in
filtering, energy storage,
and signal processing,
especially in AC circuits.
Transformer
used not just to
change voltage, but
also to transfer
signals, provide
isolation, and help
with circuit
performance
Integrated Circuit (IC)
miniaturized
electronic circuit that
combines many
components like
transistors,
resistors,
capacitors, and
diodes onto a small
silicon chip
