  1. 2. A unit of measure for resistance
  2. 6. A component used for introducing resistance into a circuit, it reduces current flow and causes voltage to divide (drop)
  3. 8. Measurement of how much electrical charge a device can store
  4. 11. temperature coefficient (PTC) thermistor- A temperature dependent resistor that experiences a sharp increase in electrical resistance as its temperature rises.
  5. 13. capacitor- a special type of capacitor which has a dielectric- in the form of a metal oxide deposited on the anode with an electrolyte present. Although sensitive to correct polarity it allows for far greater capacitance values.
  6. 15. The negative and positive side of devices
  7. 16. resistor- An electrical passive device that limits or restricts current flow in a circuit.
  8. 18. A component capable of storing an electrical charge
  9. 19. A variable resistor used to control current in a circuit by manually adjusting a sliding contact, or wiper, along a resistive element, changing the total resistance.
  10. 21. film resistor- An component that consists of a very thin, uniform layer of resistive material deposited onto a substrate, typically a ceramic, and then patterned during photolithography.
  11. 22. (pf)- A very small unit of electric capacitance, equal to one trillionth of a farad.

  1. 1. A variable resistor, a resistor whose value can be adjusted
  2. 3. temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor- A type of thermally sensitive resistor (thermistor), whose electrical resistance decreases sharply as its temperature increases.
  3. 4. resistor- An electronic component whose electrical resistance can be adjusted, typically by moving a sliding contact across a resistive element.
  4. 5. resistor- A resistor- whose value can not be modified
  5. 7. Substance that facilitates the movement of ions to conduct electricity between the electrodes of a battery or electrochemical cell.
  6. 9. The unit of measurement for electrical charge. It is equal to a charge 6.25 x 1018 electrons.
  7. 10. Insulating material in the center of a capacitor
  8. 12. (uf)- One millionth of a farad
  9. 14. Temperature sensitive resistor
  10. 17. resistor- Usually used for general purpose electronic applications requiring low cost
  11. 20. resistor- A small manually adjustable potentiometer designed for precision calibration or "set-and-forget" applications
  12. 23. (f)- Unit of measurement for a capacitor
