A capacitor is to electricity as a glass is to water. Both are passive devices, they can be filled and they can be emptied.
An active device amplifies the signal by some value - such as an active filter using an OPAMP. A passive device does not provide any amplification - such as a passive filter network of inductors and capacitors.
Capacitors and inductors are considered passive elements, not active elements, because capacitors and inductors do not supply or amplify energy. An example of an active element is a battery, which supplies energy to a circuit.
Resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes are all passive components.

Fire alarm system may be having some electronic devices and cards, in which some capacitors are used. Capacitors are part of any electronic cards.
Batteries and capacitors store electric charge.

A: If you are reading this out of a book that book is wrong resistors capacitors coils are passive components NOT active
A; Any components that provide gain/loss are active device resistors, capacitors are passive
This sentence is in the passive voice because the subject (a northwest passage to India) is receiving the action (was discovered) instead of performing the action.
Small capacitors are commonly used in electronic devices for filtering noise, stabilizing voltage, and storing energy. They are also used in timing circuits, coupling signals, and smoothing power supplies.
Active devices are those devices which can produce power or which can amplify the signal Such devices are- diode transistor op-amp
