Resistors and Capacitors
Resistors

Resistors limit current flow and divide voltage in circuits.

Key Features:

  • Measured in Ohms (Ω)
  • Color bands indicate resistance value
  • Common in current limiting
  • Available in fixed and variable types
Common Values: 100Ω, 1kΩ, 10kΩ, 100kΩ
Capacitors

Capacitors store and release electrical energy in circuits.

Key Features:

  • Measured in Farads (F)
  • Polarized and non-polarized types
  • Used for filtering and timing
  • Various dielectric materials
Common Values: 100pF, 1µF, 10µF, 100µF
