Dismantle a defunct radio and try to understand its various parts.

The following is a picture of dismantled radio the parts which are identifiable are :

•Capacitor -The function of the capacitor in the radio is to set or change the frequency. It is used to tune up the device for a particular frequency.

•Transistor - Sounds are recorded in studios through a microphone and turned into electrical signals. Those signals travel through a circuit, and the transistor amplifies the signal, which is much louder when it reaches a speaker.

•Resistor - The resistor controls the amount of electricity which needs to run the whole set up and as well as any particular part.

•Diode - Diode is the semiconductor device which is used to control the amount of flow of current in any particular direction.

•IC chips - IC chips are the main parts of the radio since they contain all the information on how to work. They are actually a set of rules upon which the device works.

•Amplifiers - Amplifiers are the parts which are used to increase the strength of the signal.

•Speakers and wires - All the connection is done by wires and speaker are used to convert signal into sound.
