The video tutorial covers various electrical components, including fuses, magnetizing coils, bells, buzzers, variable resistors, thermistors, light-dependent resistors, and batteries. Each component is described in terms of its function and application in electrical circuits. Fuses act as safety devices, magnetizing coils create electromagnets, bells and buzzers convert electrical energy into sound, variable resistors allow resistance adjustment, thermistors and LDRs change resistance based on temperature and light, respectively, and batteries serve as power sources.
