A Fuse is a safety device

When too much current flows, the fuse 'blows' and stops the current

High current melts a thin wire inside the fuse

A SPST toggle switch is a simple on/off switch operated by a lever

SPST means single-pole single-throw. this means it has two connections

One position of the switch closes the circuit and the other position opens or breaks the circuit

Capacitors store small amounts of electrical charge (charge) 

capacitors are used in timer circuits because they take a little time to charge up.

Some capacitors are polarised: they have a positive connection and negative connection, and only work when connected the right way, the polarity is indicated on the symbol and on the physical component
