Passive compnents are
1. resistor, 2. capacitor, 3. induction coil.
Definition: These modify the flow of current in a circuit
and have a FIXED value, which does not change from the time
of fixing on to circuit, throughout the LIFETIME of the
circuit which is about ten years on average.
Active components are
1. 1N diodes, 2N bipolar transistors, 3N feild effect
transistor >3N (4N etc) thyristors, silicon controlled
rectifiers, etc. The letter N denotes N type semiconductor,
and 1, 2 etc represent the number of junctions.
Definition: These modify the flow of current in a circuit
and have VARYING FUNCTION values. The variation of
function of an active component may be AUTOMATIC, such as
an operational amplifier automatically switches ON or
switches OFF a circuit based on the input condition in the
circuit (e.g. Voltage Stabilizer relay switching), or it
may be MANUALLY varied, such as the tranistors that I am
switching ON and OFF right now to provide you with binaries
that are translated automatically toconvey this infor to
YOU.
God Bless YOU.
