A capacitor is a passive electrical component. It has two terminals. But what exactly does a capacitor do? A capacitor can store electrostatic energy in an electric field. This sounds quite complicated, but you can best compare it to a small battery. However, capacitors can be charged and discharged in a fraction of a second. Capacitors come in all shapes and sizes. The capacity of a capacitor is measured in farads. The voltage of the capacitor is in volts.
Transistors are semiconductor components with usually three connections. In electronic circuits they are often used as an amplifying or switching element. A transistor can be compared to a relay. They can switch something on or off. However, there are no moving parts in a transistor. As mentioned before, a transistor usually has three connections. These connections are: The emitter, the collector and the base.
A triac is an electronic alternating current switch. It is an electronic component that belongs to the semiconductor switch category. A triac has three connections, namely: electrode 1, electrode 2 and one gate. There is no fixed polarity as with a thyristor. The operation of a triac is very similar to that of a thyristor. By using a triac you can create a mains voltage regulation for various loads.
