Answer Posted / santosh hosure

Active components are the one which itself acts as an energy
source or the one which doesn't require any external power
supplies
Ex transistor,op-amp etc

Passive elements are those which requires external power
supplies
Ex resistor,inductor,capacitor

Diode acts as an active as well as passive elements

As a water tank loses heat, the temperature drops by 2 K/min when a heater is on, the system gains temperature at 4 K/min. A two-position controller has a 0.5 min control lag and a neutral zone of ± 4% of the setpoint about a setpoint of 323 K. Plot the heater temperature versus time. Find the oscillation period
