Circuit électronique

An electronic circuit is a system of electronic components connected together to perform a specific function. These circuits allow electric current to flow through various paths and are used in nearly all modern electronic devices.

Key Components of an Electronic Circuit:

  1. Resistors – limit the flow of electric current.
  2. Capacitors – store and release electrical energy.
  3. Diodes – allow current to flow in only one direction.
  4. Transistors – amplify or switch electronic signals.
  5. Inductors – store energy in a magnetic field.
  6. Integrated Circuits (ICs) – contain many miniaturized components in a single package.
  7. Power Source – provides the energy (like batteries or power adapters).
  8. Wires and Connectors – conduct electricity between components.

Types of Electronic Circuits:

  • Analog Circuits – work with continuous voltage and current.
  • Digital Circuits – use discrete levels (0 and 1) to represent data.
  • Mixed-Signal Circuits – combine both analog and digital components.

Applications:

  • Computers
  • Mobile phones
  • Televisions
  • Medical devices
  • Automotive systems
  • Industrial machines

Realistic Simulation with DCAClab:

DCAClab is a realistic online circuit simulator designed for students, educators, and electronics enthusiasts. It allows users to build, test, and visualize both DC and AC circuits using drag-and-drop components in a virtual lab environment. With real-time simulation and measurement tools like ammeters, voltmeters, and oscilloscopes, DCAClab offers hands-on experience with electronics without physical hardware. It is widely used in educational settings to enhance circuit design and troubleshooting skills.
