voltage

Voltage, is is the difference in potential between two points  in an electric field. also called electromotive force.

voltage is the pressure from an electrical circuit’s power source that pushes charged electrons (current).

Voltage can be direct or alternating. A direct voltage maintains the same polarity. In an alternating voltage, the polarity reverses direction periodically. The number of complete cycles per second is the frequency which is measured in hertz.

resistor & potentiometer

Resistor is a two terminal passive electrical component that implants electrical resistance. in electronic circuits, resistors are used to reduce current flow. ohm's law : The behavior of an ideal resistor is dictated by the relationship specified by ohm's law. Ohm's law states that the voltage (V) across a resistor is proportional to the current (I), where the constant of proportionality is the resistance (R). resistors in series & parallel : The total resistance of resistors connected in series is the sum of their individual resistance values. The total resistance of resistors connected in parallel is the reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals of the individual resistors. resistor color code : 1 potentiometer :  it is three terminal variable resistor.

BJT (bipolar junction transistor)

A bipolar junction transistor is a three terminal semiconductor current controlled device with two P-N junctions. The three terminals are emitter(E), base(B) and collector(C). the emitter junction is heavily doped, base is less doped and made very thin and collector terminal is moderately doped. Collector has grater size than emitter and base terminal is thinner than both. (The thinner the base, the stronger the E-C electric field, and the larger the impact of a small current injected into the base. Explained clearly in active mode operation below) emitter terminal is moderate in size. A BJT has two types of transistors: NPN transistor PNP transistor NPN transistor : In an NPN transistor a p-type material is sandwiched between two n-type materials.
