For your tech test, is the electrical component section basically just definitions? As I read the book there is no shortage of terminology being thrown my way but very little in the way of explaining what the components truly do in a circuit. While not necessarily from a tech background, I have an advanced designation in finance and am not intimidated by challenging material. I just feel like this book doesn’t do a great job of teaching the subject but rather serves as a dictionary you could memorize for the sake of passing.

I welcome any thoughts or tips on what others have done to learn the material!
