The main components used in electronics are of two general
types: passive (e.g. resistors and capacitors) and active
(e.g. transistors and integrated circuits).
Passive:>Capable of operating without an external power source.
>Typical passive components are resistors, capacitors, inductors and diodes (although the latter are a special case).
> All non-semiconductors are passive components
>the passive components need no biasing for the activation
>they have no tendancy for amplify the signal.
passive components are energy storage elements.
eg:inductors,conductors etc.
Active: >Requiring a source of power to operate. >Includes transistors (all types), integrated circuits (all types), TRIACs, SCRs, LEDs, etc.
>All semiconductors are active components
>the active components are those component which amplify the
>signal or processes the signal or in the other words
these coponents need biasing for activation.
>active components are nothing but energy sources, which can
>give voltages, currents. eg:transistors, diodes etc.
