What is the meaning of electrical components?

Electronic component are those component which are used to make the electronic circuit it may be active or passive . some active components are - Diode ,FET,BJT,MOSFET, and HEMT etc. while passive component are those device which can not process/amplify signal like- resistor capacitor inductor etc.


What are Passive components and its characteristics?

A passive component does not interact as an active component like an amplifier


Is transistor active or passive element?

it is a active component.


What is the symbol for inductor?

L is the symbol for inductance. An inductor is a passive two-terminal electrical component which resists changes in electric current passing through it.


What are the component of electronics?

Electronic have two type of components Active components and Passive components. Active components are those which increase the power of a signal and must be supplied with the signal and a source of power. Passive components do not increase the power of a signal. Active components are Bipolar transistor, Operational amplifier, field effect transistors etc and Passive components are semiconductor, resistor, capacitor, inductor etc


Is a tap on a pole passive or active?

"a tap on a pole" is not a complete sentence. It does not contain a verb (a key component in active and passive voice), so it is neither active nor passive.


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


Might a synchoronous motor equally well be called a synchoronous inductor?

No. An inductor by definition is a passive component that stores electrical energy in an magnetic field. It does not use real power (in any serious amount). A synchronous motor is not passive, and uses real power.


What is the Difference between active filters and passive filters?

Active transducers are those which require electric current (a source of energy) for working, while passive transducers are those which does not need an external source. Passive transducers directly produce electric signals without an external energy source.


What are the component of oscillator?

It can contain active and passive components with a positive feedback loop.


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.


Why capacitor is an active component?

A: If you are reading this out of a book that book is wrong resistors capacitors coils are passive components NOT active
