Engineering and fabrication

How do basic electronic components work Like transistors capacitors and resistors?

Hi im allen i am 12 years old and ive been working with basic robotics for about a year but im still puzzled by what the components do mostly i have just used schematics but i want an idea about the components so i can design my own projects other then simple dc motors, so please answer quickly!

  1. Hi Allen, check out this link:

    http://www.ibiblio.org/kuphaldt/electricCircuits/

    Its basically a free book online about electronics and circuitry - covering AC, DC, and semiconductors.

    Trying to type a response as to what each component does would take a very long time!! :)

    Good luck!

    It is certainly something (a hobby, maybe a career) you will enjoy for a good while.

    Get yourself a kit, from radio shack or some other electronic store.

    This store

    Have a lot of kits especially for people like you. Something to learn hot it works

    I am sure you will find a similar store near you

    Hope this answers your question and helps you
