    Diode
    Diode is a device with two terminals. It conducts only when it is forward biased but doesn't
    conduct in reverse bias. A diode is usually in the shape of cylinder with two flat ends. Leads
    come out of the fiat ends to make electrical connections. The body of diode can be solid black
    in colour with a silver lining at one end. The silver lining represents the n-section and the Diode

    black body represents the p-section.

    LED (Light Emitting Diode)


    This is a special type of diode and contains two terminals. LED conducts only when in
    forward bias but doesn't conduct in reverse bias. Unlike ordinary diodes, the LED emits light
    while conducting. An LED is usually cylindrical in shape with one flat end. Both the leads come out
    from the only flat end of LED. LEDs are available in diferent colours like red, green, white, etc.
    An LED
    Resistor
    A resistor is used for controlling the flow of current by offering opposition in its
    path. A resistor usually conducts in both directions. Thus, the resistance offered by
    It doesn't change on change in polarity. Resistor

    Capacitor
    A capacitor is a two-terminal device. It doesn't conduct but stores some charge
    when DC is applied it. A capacitor offers infinite resistance when
    to
    voltage
    it is connected to DC. But it offers very low resistance when it is connected
    AC.
    Different types of capacitor
    ldentification Based on Resistance
    Resistor shows constant resistance hence constant current when connected to DC.

    shows high current which declines to zero.

    Result
    A diodë, an LED, a resistor and a capacitor are identified from a mixed collection of given items.

    Precautions
    Use an analog multimeter preferably instead ofa digital
    one. This will help in clearly observing the deflection of pointer
    Slean the leads of components properly by using sand paper, before checking the components with multiner
    Sources of Error
    Accidental touching of leads of multimeter by hand may affect the reading of resistance.
