Active device:
A device that requires an external source of energy to be ready for operation and has an output that is a function of present and past input.
e.g, Diodes, Transistors, PN and PIN junctions, ICs and varactors etc. we have to apply an external voltage usually called as Vcc, to these devices before placing in circuit network.
Passive device:
A device that does not require a source of energy for its operation.
e.g, such as Resistors, Capacitors, Inductors, etc. We place thses devices in the circuit, network without applying any external voltage.

Difference between active and passive optical component?
Fiber optic couplers can be either active or passive devices. The difference between active and passive couplers is that a passive coupler redistributes the optical signal without optical-to-electrical conversion. Active couplers are electronic devices that split or combine the signal electrically and use fiber optic detectors and sources for input and output.

What is the difference between active attacks passive attacks in GSM network?
Define the difference between active and passive Prevetive Maintenance In Computer System?
Active maintenance is for all hard ware components and Passive maintenance for the supporting devices of hard ware components
The difference between active transport and passive transport is?
Active transport requires energy; passive transport does not.
What is the difference between active and passive component?
Active means devices that perform functions in a non linear fashion [amplifiers] passive are components that perform according to a set of linear rules
The difference between a passive and an active dividend policy.?
The difference between a passive and an active dividend policy lies in the amount of time between dividend disbursement. In a passive dividend policy, dividends are given when the company decides it is time. With an active dividend policy, dividends are disbursed at regular intervals.
What is the defference between active transpors and passive transport?
The difference between active and passive transport, is that, active transport, requires energy input from the cell, in order to occur, unlike passive, which occurs, without any energy input.

What is difference between active voice and passive voice?
active is lilly milks the cow . you put the ersons name first. passive is the cow is milked by lilly
What is the main difference between active trasport and passive transport?
Active transport requires energy (ATP, GTP, etc) to work against the electrochemical gradient. Passive transport works with the electrochemical gradient and does not require energy. (Think diffusion)
What id the difference between active and passive transport?
Active transport requires ATP and passive transport does not. Active transport goes against the concentration gradient and passive transport goes with the concentration gradient and includes osmosis, diffusion and facilitated diffusion.
What is the difference between active and passive resistance?
Active resistance involves taking direct action to oppose or obstruct a certain force or authority, often through physical or vocal means. Passive resistance, on the other hand, involves nonviolent tactics such as noncooperation or civil disobedience to resist without using physical force.
