You are given a circuit diagram with several components. How would you determine which component is a diode?

• Look for a component with two parallel lines

• Identify the component with a triangle pointing to a line

• Find the component with a zigzag line

• Locate the component with a coil symbol

In a circuit, you need to reduce the current flow. Which component would you use, and why?

• Capacitor, because it stores energy

• Resistor, because it opposes current flow

• Inductor, because it stores magnetic energy

• Diode, because it allows current in one direction

A circuit has a component that allows current to flow in only one direction. Which component is this, and what is its primary function?

• Resistor, to limit current

• Capacitor, to store charge

• Diode, to allow current in one direction

• Inductor, to store magnetic energy

How would you identify an inductor in a circuit diagram, and what is its primary role?

• Look for a zigzag line; it opposes current

• Find a coil symbol; it stores magnetic energy

• Identify two parallel lines; it stores charge

• Locate a triangle pointing to a line; it allows current in one direction

Which component in a circuit is used to store energy temporarily and can release it when needed?

• Resistor

• Capacitor

• Diode

• Inductor

You need to design a circuit that can filter out high-frequency noise. Which component would you choose and why?

• Resistor, because it limits current

• Capacitor, because it blocks DC and allows AC

• Diode, because it rectifies AC to DC

• Inductor, because it blocks high-frequency signals
