Classification of Electronics

The document discusses different types of basic electronic components. It describes resistors, capacitors, diodes, and inductors as passive components that do not require an external power supply. Resistors resist current flow, capacitors store energy in the form of an electrical charge, diodes allow current to flow easily in one direction, and inductors oppose sudden changes in current. The document also mentions active components like transistors that rely on an external power source to control or modify electrical signals. Printed circuit boards are described as foundational building blocks that electronic components are assembled onto.
