Resistor
- A resistor is a component that resists electron flow.
- The unit of resistance is called an ohm (Ω). 1Ω = 1V/A
- In an electronic circuit schematic, a resistor is represented by:
Capacitor
- A capacitor is an electronic component that stores charge
- It consists of two conductive plates separated by an insulating medium
- The unit of capacitance is called a farad (F). 1 F = 1 C/V
- In an electronic circuit schematic, a capacitor is represented by:
