G1 Fundamentals of Electronics

a branch of electrical engineering that deals with controlling and converting

electrical energy using various electronic components

are electronic components that control the flow of electrical current

Allow current to flow in one direction; used for rectification and signal modulation

Act as amplifiers or switches

Act as amplifiers or switches

Combine multiple electronic components on a single chip

Convert light into electrical current

Emit light when current flows through them

a four-layered semiconductor device made up of alternating P-type

and N-type materials (PNPN structure)

Switch or amplify electrical signals.
