In electronicsElectronics is the study and use of electrical devices that operate by controlling the flow of electrons or other electrically charged particles in devices such as thermionic valves and semiconductors. The pure study of such devices is considered as a bra, an elementAn electric circuit, or electrical network, consists of electrical elements or components connected by conductors. Elements include devices (such as an inductor, resistor, capacitor, conductor, line, or cathode ray tube) with terminals at which it may be (electrical elementAn electric circuit, or electrical network, consists of electrical elements or components connected by conductors. Elements include devices (such as an inductor, resistor, capacitor, conductor, line, or cathode ray tube) with terminals at which it may be) is any device (such as an inductorAn inductor is a passive electrical device that stores energy in a magnetic field, typically by combining the effects of many loops of electric current. Physics of the inductor Construction An inductor is usually constructed as a coil of conducting materi, resistorAn ideal resistor is a component with an electrical resistance that remains constant regardless of the applied voltage or current flowing through the device. While "real world" resistors cannot attain this perfect goal, they are designed to present little, capacitorA capacitor (historically known as a "condenser") is a device that stores energy in the electric field established between a pair of conductors on which equal but opposite electric charges have been impressed. Historically, capacitors have taken the form, conductor, line, or cathode ray tube) with terminals at which it may be connected directly with other devices. It can also mean a antennaradiator (either parasitic or active). In circuitry, it can be used to specify a portion of a integrated circuit that contributes directly to the IC's operation.
