what are active and Passive Components?

Answer Posted / darshan patel

Active Components:
The components which have capability to
amplify the signal passing through them is known as Active
Components.

eg. transistors,op-amp,logic gates etc.

Passive Components:
The components which have not capability
to amplify the signal but they can store it in form of
energy are knows as passive components.

eg. Resistors,Capacitors,Inductors etc.

What is the purpose of using an instrumentation amplifier.

Alok and Bhanu play the following min-max game. Given the expression N = 9 + X + Y - Z Where X, Y and Z are variables representing single digits (0 to 9), Alok would like to maximize N while Bhanu would like to minimize it. Towards this end, Alok chooses a single digit number and Bhanu substitutes this for a variable of her choice (X, Y or Z). Alok then chooses the next value and Bhanu, the variable to substitute the value. Finally Alok proposes the value for the remaining variable. Assuming both play to their optimal strategies, the value of N at the end of the game would be 27 0.0 20 18
