Question
What are the basic building blocks of electronic circuits ? Mention their types.

Answer

Devices in which a controlled flow of electrons can be obtained are the basic building blocks of all the electronic circuits.
They are of two types :
(i) Vacuum tubes (also called valves)
(ii) Devices prepared from various types of semi-conductors used in the solid-state Semiconductor Electronics.
