Since a little kid, I was fascinated by electricity and electronics.
Later, when I became an “adult”, I learned myself the “ins and outs” of electronics.
(Mostly digital electronics, I find analog electronics still to difficult)
From what I learned, all electronic-components are filled with, and work on, magic smoke.
Once the magic smoke comes out of the component, the component will no longer work as expected.
The magic smoke is the most important ingredient inside a component 🙂
