inductors are more expensive and complex.and they take up space. Their effect can be replicated by active circuits.

Are capacitors and inductors active elements?

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.


Applications of active and passive filters?

Applications of active and passive filters?They are used for signal conditioningThey can be used to bypass power supply.They can also be used in speaker crossover designs.


What is the use of active power filters?

An active filter is a type of analog electronic filter that uses active components such as an amplifier. Amplifiers included in a filter design can be used to improve the performance and predictability of a filter, while avoiding the need for inductors (which are typically expensive compared to other components). An amplifier prevents the load impedance of the following stage from affecting the characteristics of the filter. An active filter can have complex poles and zeros without using a bulky or expensive inductor.


Active component in resistors and capacitors?

Resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes are all passive components.


What is passivation?

Passive means, not active. It has a number of applications - in grammar a verb can be passive, in electronics, components such as resistors, capacitors or inductors are passive (transistors are active).


What kinds of filters use some type of amplifying device?

Active filters.


Different types of inductors?

There are a variety of types of inductors. These include coupled inductors, multi-layer inductors, ceramic core inductors, as well as molded inductors.


What are the advantages of active filters over passive filters?

Active filters have three main advantages over passive filters:Inductors can be avoided. Passive filters without inductors cannot obtain a high Q (low damping), but with them are often large and expensive (at low frequencies), may have significant internal resistance, and may pick up surrounding electromagnetic signals.The shape of the response, the Q (Quality factor), and the tuned frequency can often be set easily by varying resistors, in some filters one parameter can be adjusted without affecting the others. Variable inductances for low frequency filters are not practical.The amplifier powering the filter can be used to buffer the filter from the electronic components it drives or is fed from, variations in which could otherwise significantly affect the shape of the frequency response.


Why you use filters in your circuit?

we generally use filters to smooth the sharp curves of DC component we get when we rectify AC components the pulsating Dc is not desirable to a no. of devices. These filters are used to make the pulsating DC to a stable one . To be more clear a pulsating DC is viewed as a sum of DC component and AC component these filters actually block the AC components and retain the DC component . so, mainly capacitors and inductors are used to obstruct or pass the dc components respectively


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.


What is the difference between inductor and inductance?

Inductors can be used for a great many purposes. Terms, such as 'choke', 'reactor', etc., describe applications of inductors.


Why aren't inductors used in timer circuits?

Mostly because large value capacitors are less expensive and smaller than large value inductors.
