What is Resistor  (R)?

Resistor is an electrical component that reduces the electric current.
The resistor's ability to reduce the current is called resistance and is measured in units of ohms (symbol: Ī©).
If we make an analogy to water flow through pipes, the resistor is a thin pipe that reduces the water flow. The resistance is equal to the voltage drop across the register divided by the current to the register i.e. R=V / I
Its symbol is



What is Inductor (L)?

 An inductor is an electrical component that stores energy in the form of a magnetic field in its simplest form.
An inductor  consist of wire, loop or coil. The inductor's ability to store the energy is called inductance and its unit is Henry. 
The inductance is directly proportional to the number of turns in the coil.
Its symbol is




What is Capacitor (C) ?

Capacitor is an electronic component that stores electric charge. Capacitor are used in electrical circuit as energy storage device.
The property of capacitor to store electricity called its capacitance.
Its symbol is




What is Voltage Source ?

An ideal DC voltage source produces a load voltage that is constant. The simplest example of an ideal DC voltage source is a perfect battery, whose internal resistance is 0.

What is Current Source ?

 A DC current source produces a constant load current or different load resistances. An example of DC current source is battery with large source resistance.
