Electronic Parts


How about this? Assign an electronic component to each character that reflects their attitudes and behaviors. Just as a fun way to decide how a character will react.

Resistors: The device resists the flow of current.
Capacitors: These components can store electric charge temporarily.
Diodes: Diodes allow electric current to flow in a single direction only. Each diode has two terminals known as the anode and cathode. When the anode is charged with positive voltage and the cathode with a negative one, electric current can flow. Reversing these voltages will prevent the current from flowing.
Transistors: These components have three terminals. For the components to work, voltage has to be applied to one of them; the base terminal. The base can then control current flow in the two other terminals (the emitter and collector).
Inductors: These are passive components that store energy in form of a magnetic field.
Integrated Circuits: An integrated circuit refers to a special device that has all the components required in an electronic circuit.
Microcontrollers: Microcontrollers are small computers used to control a multitude of devices.
Transformers: Built with two coils of wire, transformers are commonly used to step up or step down power.
Batteries: Batteries convert chemical energy to electrical energy. The two different cells of a battery are anode (+) and cathode (-).
Fuses: Fuses help preserve components from overloading with excessive current.
Relays: These electromechanical switches shut power on or off.
Switches: Switches interrupt current.
Motors: Motors convert electrical energy into mechanical energy.
Speakers: Electrodynamic coils attached to a diaphragm that convert changing electrical impulses into sound waves. A microphone can be made the exact same way but converts sounds into electricity.
