🗑
show A device that converts energy from one from to another.  
🗑
show Converts electrical energy to light.  
🗑
show Convert electrical energy to light for such uses as a warning light on a car's dashboard.  
🗑
show Convert electrical energy to kinetic energy (motion).

🗑
show Converts electrical energy to sound.  
🗑
show A coil of wire that creates magnetic field when current passes through it.  
🗑
show Allows current to flow only when the button is pressed.  
🗑
show The circuit is normally closed (the device is on): the circuit is open (device is off) only when the button is pressed.  
🗑
On/off Switch   show
🗑
show Directs the flow of current to one of two routes, according to its position.  
🗑
show Often used to switch main electricity because it can isolate both live and neutral connections.  
🗑
show An electrically operated switch that may operate multiple switches at one time. Current flowing through a coils sets up a magnetic field, which causes the lever(s) to move, effectively changing the (relay) switch's position(s).  
🗑
show Restrict the flow of electrical current. They are rated in ohms and have color code on them to indicate their value, tolerance, and sometimes quality.

🗑
show The first and second bands on the resistor are the first two digits of the resistor's value. The next band indicates the number of zeros after the first two digits. The first band is red, the second is yellow, an the third is orange, the value is 24,000  
🗑
Variable Resistor   show
🗑
Rheostat   show
🗑
show A type of variable resistor with three contacts that's used to control voltage.  
🗑
show A device that operates with a small screwdriver or similar tool; it's designed to be set when the circuit is made and then left without further adjustment.  
🗑
