what are active and Passive Components?

Answer Posted / hardeep singh

1) Passive components are ones which cannot introduce net energy into the circuit they are connected to. example: resistors, capacitors, inductors, and most sorts of diodes.

2) Active components rely on a source of energy (usually from the DC circuit, which we have chosen to ignore) and are usually able to inject power into a circuit. example: transistors and tunnel diodes.
