They each have a physical property that interacts with electricity. When put in combination various actions occur.

18. What are resistors?
Resistors provide a specific amount of resistance to a path in a circuit or wire. Ohm's law is used to calculate the properties related to resistance. Ohm's Law: I = V/R I = Current measured in Amps V = Voltage measured in Volts R = Resistance measured in Ohms Resistors are color coded.

19. Resistor Color Code
Resistor Color Code Wheel Calculator

20. Find out the resistor value:
Assuming that from the datasheet, the max current of the LED is 25mA, and the forward voltage is 2.0V.
For max current 25mA,
R = (9-2)/25mA = 280 ohm
Let’s pick R=330 ohm,
I = (9-2)/330 = 21.1mA

21. Variable Resistor - Potentiometer
The variable resistor is simply a control and this is required in many electric circuits. The variable resistor can be used as a light dimmer, volume control, and in many other circuits when you are wanting to change resistance easily and quickly.

22. Variable resistor: The potentiometer
Voltage dividers Try out the different pots.

23. RGB LED
Try resistors out in various combination to make different colors. Experiment by adding potentiometers to the leads.

24. LED and Photoresistor
Photoresistors change their resistance by the amount of light detected.

25. GL55 Photoresistor
The more light it shines on, the smaller resistor value it is.

26. Capacitor
Capacitors move alternating current (AC) signals while prohibiting direct current (DC) signals to pass.
They store electricity and can function as filters to smooth out signals that pulsate.
Capacitors that are small are traditionally used in high- frequency applications such as radios, transmitters, or oscillators.
Larger capacitors ordinarily reserve electricity or act as filters.
The capacitance (capacity for storing electricity) of a capacitor is expressed in a unit known as farad.

27. What are capacitors? Capacitor is two separated charges.
Known charge up time.
Know discharge time.
Two major kinds
Electrolytic, asymmetric, bipolar 
Ceramic, symmetric

28. Capacitors in series

29. Capacitors in Parallel
They can provide energy, however briefly. They can smooth out a signal. Attach the battery briefly to fill the capacitor.

30. Make a voltage regulator

31. Diode
Are like one-way streets. They allow the current to ow in only one direction. Your kit contains one silicon diode (marked Si) as well as two germanium diodes (marked Ge).
LED is a special diode.

32. Transistor
The part that makes each transistor work is a tiny chip, which is made of either germanium or silicon.
There are a total of three connections points on each transistor. They are B, which stands for base, C, which stands for collector, and E, which stands for emitter.
Mainly transistors are used to amplify weak signals.
Transistors can also be used as switches to connect or disconnect other components as well as oscillators to permit signals to flow in pulses.

33. Transistors
NPN Transistor 

34. Push Button
The push button is a simple switch you press it and electricity is allowed to flow through the circuit. When you release it, the circuit is not complete because a break is caused in the circuits path. The push button will be used in most circuits often times in signaling circuits (you can send Morse code this way as well as other things).

35. Switch
You know what a switch is you use switches every day. When you slide (or flip) to the proper position, the circuit will be completed, allowing current to ow through. In the other position a break is made, causing the circuit to be off. The switch that we will be using is a double-pole, double throw switch.

36. IC (Integrated Circuit)
The transistor was invented in the 1940s and after that the next big break through in electronics was in the 1960s with the invention integrated circuit or the ICs. The advantage of this that the equivalent of hundreds or even thousands of transistors, diodes and even resistors can be placed into one small package.

What is a 555 Timer?
The 555 timer is an 8-pin IC that is capable of producing accurate time delays and/or oscillators.
In the time delay mode, the delay is controlled by one external resistor and capacitor.
In the oscillator mode, the frequency of oscillation and duty cycle are both controlled with two external resistors and one capacitor.
555 can be used to create many interesting projects.

Time Delay Mode
Oscillator Mode
In the time delay mode, the delay is controlled by one external resistor and capacitor.
Example: Turn a light on in a delayed amount of time. (Just turn on or off once)
In the oscillator mode, the frequency of oscillation are controlled with two external resistors and one capacitor.
Example: Can make a light flash a specific rate. (Can turn on and off repeatedly)

53. Key Points
The 555 timer works with 2 resistors (one of which is temperature dependent) and 1 capacitor to establish an oscillation in the circuit. The 555 timer output has two modes: ON and OFF and it turns whatever device it is connected to ON and OFF at a rate that depends on the changing resistance of the thermistor (which depends on temperature)!!!
