Remember (One part, one job): Resistor: limits current. Capacitor: stores a little charge. Diode: one way only. LED: one way and glows. Buzzer: sound. Motor: spinning. Potentiometer: a knob that changes resistance. LDR: light sensor. Thermistor: heat sensor. Fuse: protects by blowing. Transistor: boosts or switches.
