Semiconductors are materials that have properties between those of conductors and insulators.
What is a diode?
A diode is a two-terminal electronic component that allows the flow of current in one direction.
What is an integrated circuit?
An integrated circuit (IC) is a miniaturized electronic circuit that contains many circuit elements on a small chip of semiconductor material.
What is a transistor?
A transistor is a semiconductor device that can amplify or switch electronic signals and electrical power.
What is a resistor?
A resistor is an electronic component that limits or regulates the flow of electrical current in a circuit.
What is Ohm's Law?
Ohm's Law states that the current flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage across the conductor and inversely proportional to the resistance of the conductor.
What is a capacitor?
A capacitor is an electronic device that stores and releases electrical energy in the form of electric charge.
What is a binary system?
A binary system is a number system that uses only two digits, 0 and 1, to represent all numbers and information in digital electronics.
What is a microcontroller?
A microcontroller is a small computer on a single integrated circuit containing a processor core, memory, and programmable input/output peripherals.
What is a logic gate?
A logic gate is an elementary building block of a digital circuit that performs a specific logical operation.
What is doping in semiconductors?
Doping is the process of deliberately introducing impurities into a pure semiconductor material to alter its properties.
What is a printed circuit board (PCB)?
A printed circuit board (PCB) is a board that supports and connects electronic components using conductive tracks, pads, and other features.
What is a voltage regulator?
A voltage regulator is an electronic device or circuitry that maintains a constant output voltage regardless of changes in input voltage or load conditions.
What is a light-emitting diode (LED)?
A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that emits light when an electric current passes through it.
What is a flip-flop?
A flip-flop is a circuit element that stores a bit of information and can change its output based on certain inputs.
