A resistor limits current flow.
A capacitor stores charge and thus energy via an electric field and also can act as a frequency filter for
AC applications.
An inductor stores energy in a magnetic field. An example is the coil in an automobile sparkplug
distribution or coil on plug technology. When the magnetic field collapses in the coil, it liberates its
energy. That's how the spark is made. Inductors can also be used as frequency filters.
The main function of a diode is to block the current in one direction, and allow current to flow in the
other direction. Current flowing through the diode is called forward current.
There are several types of diodes:
Rectifier diodes -- these are the most common, with its function described above.
Detector diodes -- these are more sensitive than normal rectifier diodes. They are used in radios and
televisions to convert radio signals to audio or television signals.
Zener diodes -- These diodes are the opposites of the normal diodes, because they are designed toconduct current in the backwards (reverse) direction BUT only at a very precise voltage. Zener diodes
are used to regulate voltages (to behave sort-of like a battery).
Capacitance diodes act as tunable capacitors and are also used in radios and TVs to allow electronic
automatic tuning.
Tunnel diodes are used in oscillator circuits
What is the function of a transformer?
Answer:A transformer is a device that changes an electrical voltage or current from one level to another.(In radio frequency applications, it is used to couple the RF electronic circuits.)
Transformers are used to:
Convert high voltage alternating current (AC) to desired low voltage alternating current(AC). Such transformers are called step down transformers.
Convert low voltage alternating current (AC) to desired high voltage alternating current(AC). Such transformers are called step up transformers.
Electrically separate one part of the circuit (or any other electrical system) from the otherpart, termed as 'electrical isolation'. Such transformers are called isolation transformers.
The transformation may involve the loss of some power as waste heat.

Also see: Circuit Diagrams
Circuit symbols are used in circuit diagrams which show how a
circuit is connected together. The actual layout of the
components is usually quite different from the circuit diagram.
To build a circuit you need a different diagram showing the
layout of the parts on stripboard orprinted circuit board.
Temporary and trial circuits are often built on breadboard
which does not require soldering.
Wires and connections
Component Circuit Symbol Function of Component
Wire To pass current very easily from one part of a circuit to another.
Wires joined
A 'blob' should be drawn where wires are connected (joined), but it is
sometimes omitted. Wires connected at 'crossroads' should be
staggered slightly to form two T-junctions, as shown on the right.
Wires not joined
In complex diagrams it is often necessary to draw wires crossing even
though they are not connected. The simple crossing on the left is
correct but may be misread as a join where the 'blob' has been
forgotten. The bridge symbol on the right leaves no doubt!
