an electronic device that strengthens electrical signals or causes sounds to get louder
a branch of electronics that deals with the design and manufacture of extremely small electronic components and circuits, typically using semiconductor materials such as silicon
the complete circle through which an electric current flows, typically consists of the source of electric energy
(electronics) a flat board that holds and connects electronic components to add or improve a computer's functions
(electronics) a semiconductor part that lets electricity flow in only one direction
(electronics) a conductor that touches a circuit or device to let electricity enter or leave
a small piece of material that is a semiconductor, used to make an integrated circuit
a special type of wire that carries signals, like TV or Internet, using a central wire surrounded by a layer called insulation along with a metal covering to protect the signals from interference
(electronics) a material that conducts electricity moderately, with conductivity that changes with temperature or added impurities
(physics) relating to the electrical effects produced by light
(electronics) a tiny semiconductor chip that contains many electronic parts working as one complete system
a point on an electrical device or circuit where an electrical connection is made
an electronic device that uses a small electrical current to control a larger current, acting like an automatic switch
a semiconductor device that converts light into an electrical current
(electronics) a material's total resistance to the flow of electric current, measured in ohms
(electronics) opposition to alternating current caused by inductance or capacitance, not by resistance
(electronics) the ability of a component or device to store an electric charge
(electronics) an electrical component, usually a coil of wire, that introduces inductance into a circuit
an electrical component designed to impede the flow of current
(electronics) the ratio of an amplifier's output voltage to its input voltage, indicating how much the signal is magnified
(electronics) the ratio of a transistor's output current to its input current, showing how much the signal is amplified
