Component Identification Digital Electronics TM 1.1 Foundations and The Board Game Counter Resistors A resistor is an electronic component that resists the flow of electrical current. A resistor is typically used to control the amount of current that is flowing in a circuit. Resistance is measured in units of ohms () and named after George Ohm, whose law (Ohm’s Law) defines the fundamental relationship between voltage, current, and resistance.

Transistor A transistor is an electronic switch. By turning a small input current into a large output current, the transistor acts like an amplifier. But it also acts like a switch at the same time. When there is no current to the base, little or no current flows between the collector and the emitter. Turn on the base current and a big current flows. Collector NPN 2N3904 Base Emitter The flat side faces up collector base emitter

Diode A diode only allows electricity to flow in one direction.
