What are active and passive components?..

Answer / lokesh bansal

active component are those components which are capable to
add some thing into the input in the form of gain or
attenuation.like tansistors,diodes etc.
but the passive component can't capable to change the input
means no gain no attenuation but have some energy loss in
the form of heat like resistor ,capacitors etc.
