Electronics Cheat Sheet

Resistors:

  • Color coding to determine resistance value.
  • Used to limit current or create voltage drops.

Capacitors:

  • Store electrical energy.
  • Measured in farads.

Inductors:

  • Store energy in a magnetic field.

Diodes:

  • Allow current to flow in one direction.

Transistors:

  • Used for amplification and switching.

Integrated Circuits (ICs):

  • Complex circuits on a single chip.

Ohm's Law: V = IR (Voltage = Current x Resistance).

Kirchhoff's Laws: For current and voltage in circuits.

Power Formulas: P = VI (Power = Voltage x Current).

Frequency and Period: f = 1/T (Frequency = 1 / Period).

Logic Gates: AND, OR, NOT, etc. for digital circuits.

This is just a brief overview, and electronics is a vast field with many more components and concepts.
