An active device is any type of circuit component with the ability to electrically control electron flow (electricity controlling electricity). In order for a circuit to be properly called electronic, it must contain at least one active device

What is the difference between active load and passive load?
Passive Load is Load comprising of Passive Components Active Load is the Load comprising of Active Components In Test Boards its better to use Active Loads, If you are concerned about Temperature Variations during characterisation
Is antenna passive or active component?
An active antenna is an antenna which has an amplifier attached very closely to it. The antenna/amplifier system is called an active antenna. It is used for receiving signals only. The idea is to set the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) before the signal travels along a transmission line where it is susceptible to interference and loss.
Is diode an active device?
A passive device is a diode resistor coil and so forth it perform no enhancement to the circuit or act on it.
What is passive capacitor?
A capacitor is passive like a resistor is passive it performs no active amplification.
Transistor is a linear or non linear circuit element?
it is not a passive device .y because it is used to amplify the voltage and current .so as according to the definition of active device is the device which is used to amplify the current r voltage .hence transistor is a active device.
A potentiometer is a active device or passive device?
passive
What is active devices?
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.
Is relay active or passive?
diode is a two terminal passive non linear device.
What is the difference between active load and passive load?
Passive Load is Load comprising of Passive Components Active Load is the Load comprising of Active Components In Test Boards its better to use Active Loads, If you are concerned about Temperature Variations during characterisation
Why is an inductor called as passive device where as a resistor is called active device?
They are both passive devices. An active device is a device that uses semiconductors (or tubes) to process signals instead of using the natural processes of capacitance, inductance or resistance.
What difference in electrical and electronic device?
A: The difference is PASSIVE / ACTIVE
Is relay an active or passive device?
Yes, it is an electrically operated switch.
Is diode an active or passive device?
An active device is a device that takes input energy to operate. The only energy a diode uses is from the signal applied to it (it has one input, one output, and no other terminals), so it is a passive device. To be an active device, a separate power source must be applied to it - such as the case for operation amplifiers, for example.
What is the device that produce gain active or passive?
Either. although a passive device can only produce gain from 0-1 (-inf to 0dB) an active device on the other hand is capable of producing gain thats greater than 1 (0dB)
What is the advantages and disadvantages of active and passive satellites?

Why active filters so called even though uses passive resistors?
It has to have resistors but an active filter will alsol have an active device, usually an op-amp, while a passive filter has only passive components and needs no power supply.
Is an antenna active device?
In electronics any device that just pass along a signal by its characteristics is defined as passive.
