>B-003-016-002: A capacitor has a positive and a negative side and stores electrical energy, commonly used in power supply circuits to smooth voltage.

>B-003-016-001: A standard automobile battery usually supplies 12 volts DC, which is used to power a variety of electrical components in the vehicle.

B-004-006-011: Given that red=2, violet=7, and yellow=4, the nominal value of the resistor is 270,000 ohms or 270k ohms, calculated using the first two significant digits and the multiplier (yellow = 10,000).

B-004-006-007: For a non-critical application like a current-limiting resistor for an LED, a tolerance of 20% is acceptable since the exact resistance value is not essential.

B-004-006-003: The fourth color band on a resistor indicates the tolerance, with gold representing a ±5% tolerance, meaning the actual resistance may vary by 5%.

B-004-006-001: A resistor's tolerance rating is indicated by the fourth color band, which specifies the range within which the actual resistance value may vary from the nominal value.

B-004-005-008: Inside the envelope of a triode tube, there is a vacuum, along with a cathode, a grid, and a plate, which together control the flow of electrons for amplification.

B-004-005-004: In a vacuum tube, the plate is the electrode that is operated with the highest positive potential, collecting electrons emitted from the cathode.

B-004-005-003: A common feature of triode tubes and transistors is that both can amplify signals by controlling the flow of current with a smaller input signal.

B-004-004-009: The source of a field-effect transistor corresponds to the emitter of a bipolar transistor, where current flows into the device.

B-004-004-008: To reduce current in a field-effect transistor, increase the reverse bias voltage on the gate, which lowers the channel's conductivity and can fully shut off current flow if the voltage exceeds a threshold.

B-004-004-007: The control element in the field-effect transistor is the gate, which controls the current flowing through the channel by varying the voltage applied to it.

B-004-004-005: In a field-effect transistor, the drain is the terminal where the charge carriers leave the channel, analogous to the emitter in a bipolar transistor.

B-004-003-011: In a bipolar transistor, the emitter compares closest to the cathode of a triode vacuum tube, where current flows into the device.

B-004-003-007: The two basic types of bipolar transistors are NPN and PNP, which differ in the direction of current flow and the polarity of the applied voltage.

B-004-003-002: The basic semiconductor amplifying device is the transistor, which can amplify electrical signals in both low- and high-power circuits.

B-004-002-009: Voltage regulation is the principal application of the Zener diode, as it maintains a constant voltage across a wide range of load conditions.

B-004-002-008: Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) glow in different colors, depending on their chemical composition, with colors ranging from red to blue.

B-004-002-006: If alternating current is applied to the anode of a diode, the cathode would show pulsating direct current.
