Antenna or Aerial
1. Radio Antenna 2. Radio Antenna alt
3. Dipole Antenna
Definition:
An Antenna is an electrical device which converts electric power into radio waves, and vice versa. It is usually used with a radio transmitter or radio receiver. In transmission, a radio transmitter supplies an oscillating radio frequency electric current to the antenna’s terminals, and the antenna radiates the energy from the current as electromagnetic waves (radio waves). In reception, an antenna intercepts some of the power of an electromagnetic wave in order to produce a tiny voltage at its terminals, that is applied to a receiver to be amplified. |

Capacitor (originally Condenser)
1. IEEE Capacitor 2. IEC Capacitor
3. Polarized IEEE Capacitor
4. Polarized IEC Capacitor
5. Variable Capacitor
Definition:
A Capacitor is a passive two-terminal electrical component used to store energy in an electric field. For comparison, an inductor stores energy in a magnetic field, and a resistor does not store energy but rather dissipates energy as heat. |
