Electronic Components and The IC Materials, 3rd Edition Book recommend

This is an extensively revised and updated edition of a highly sucessful book. It
provides a balanced presentation of electronic component and Ic components materials from the point of view of their design and development. The book discusses in detail the
specifications, manufacturing processes, characteristics, testing and applications.
Written in a lucid and systematic manner, this up-to-date third edition incorporates
the latest trends in electronic materials and electronic components in two separate
chapters. Most of the materials in the book has been class-tested and found very
effective. The book places considerable emphasis on problem-solving, and as such would
be suitable for self-study.
The book meets the syllabu requirements of the diploma, degree and AMIE courses in
electrical engineering and electronics.

AN ALL-IN-ONE GUIDE TO ELECTRONIC COMPONENT SPECIFICATIONS AND APPLICATIONS

With this handy benchtop reference, you'll have at your fingertips a one-stop source of practical information on virtually every kind of electronic component. In electronic components: A COMPLETE REFERENCE FOR PROJECT BUILDERS, Delton T. Horn provides you with the important working characteristics, specifications, and uses for each component listed.

Who can tell me the question about electronic component

Hi hope someone could help me understand the workings of electronic components.

I think I am right in saying that all electronic components require energy for them to function.

If you connect a battery to the component to supply the energy then this is supplied from the electrochemical energy in the battery.

The battery pushes electrons up a potential difference through the circuit from - to +

Here I get a bit hazy

The electrons are pushed through the component and 'lose energy'? while they are travelling through it? This lost energy is used by the resistors, lcds etc to do 'their thing'.

What is different in the electron that leaves the neg terminal and reaches the pos terminal?

Is it in a lower energy state?

Also this electron that returns to the battery. Dosnt it go on to take part in a chemical REDOX reaction? How does that happen?

Why does it need to be in a lower energy state to work?

Sorry total confusion as you see. Id be grateful if someone could give me a heads up!
