Electronics- the elements of circuit which helps in its functioning. by Mind Map: Electronics- the elements of circuit which helps in its functioning.

1. Active Components- used in electronic circuits

1.1. Tube Devices and semiconductor devices

1.1.1. Diodes- The simplest semiconductor device, allowing the current to flow in one direction. Produced when crystals of pure silicon are doped so that a junction is formed between the p-type and n-type region.

1.1.2. Transistor- Looks like two diodes joined back to back It consists of three layers of semiconductors --- two thick layers of the same type (either n – or p- type) at both ends, with a thin layer of another type sandwiched in between.

2. Passive Components- not capable of amplifying or processing an electrical circuit.

2.1. Resistor- Used to limit the current in the circuit. Most are made of carbon and metal films

2.2. Capacitor- electrical component which has the ability or “capacity” to store energy

2.3. Inductor- Stores energy in the magnetic field around its coil
