Active and Passive Devices

Passive components like resistors and capacitors do not require power to function, while active components such as transistors and integrated circuits must be powered to operate. Active components are also able to amplify signals, unlike passive ones. The two main types of electronic components are passive and active.

ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS 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). The main difference between active and passive components is that active ones require to be powered in some way to make them work. Active components can also be used to amplify signals.
