Q: Which electrical element opposes the flow of current?

Resistor — Resistors impede current flow, characterized by their resistance value.

Q: What is the unit of measurement for resistance?

Ohm (?) — Resistance is measured in Ohms (?), named after Georg Ohm.

Q: Which electrical element stores energy in an electric field?

Capacitor — Capacitors store energy by accumulating charge on their plates.

Q: What is the unit of measurement for capacitance?

Farad (F) — Capacitance is measured in Farads (F).

Q: Which electrical element stores energy in a magnetic field?

Inductor — Inductors store energy by generating a magnetic field when current passes through them.

Q: What is the unit of measurement for inductance?

Henry (H) — Inductance is measured in Henries (H).

Q: What does a diode primarily do?

Allows current flow in one direction — Diodes conduct current in one direction (forward bias) and block it in the other.

Q: Which component is a semiconductor device that amplifies or switches electronic signals and electrical power?

Transistor — Transistors are fundamental building blocks of modern electronic devices, acting as switches and amplifiers.

Q: What is the relationship between voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R) in a circuit?

V = I x R — Ohm's Law: Voltage equals current multiplied by resistance (V=IR).

Q: Which element is designed to block DC current but allow AC current?

Capacitor — Capacitors block DC because they charge up, but AC passes through due to the changing voltage.
