Elektronenkomponente

An Elektronenkomponente, or electronic component, is a basic element of an electronic circuit. These components are designed to influence the flow of electrons, which is the basis of electricity. They are typically manufactured from semiconductor materials, metals, and insulators. Common examples include resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, and transistors. Each component has a specific function within a circuit. Resistors limit the flow of current, capacitors store electrical energy, inductors store energy in a magnetic field, diodes allow current to flow in only one direction, and transistors act as switches or amplifiers. These individual components are connected together on a printed circuit board or other substrate to form functional electronic devices, such as radios, computers, and mobile phones. The behavior of an electronic component is described by its electrical characteristics, such as resistance, capacitance, or inductance. The advancement of technology has led to miniaturization and increased complexity of electronic components, enabling the development of sophisticated electronic systems.
