what are active and Passive Components?

Answer Posted / naveed ahmed

Passive components are those components which shows
continious rate of change and linear response in the graph
and can not change its function by changing polaritr of
source
Ex.resistor inductor and capacitor
Active components are those components which shows the non
linearity in graph and change its function and property by
increasing or decreasing the voltage or by changing
polarity
Ex. transistor,diode,FET,etc
