Answeractive device : they are the devices in which the electron flow( current) can be controlled electrically

else a device with controlling of current flow

Passive device : they are the device where electron flow ( current ) cannot be controlled electrically

else a device with out controlling otion of current flow

I studied the above from net and i felt it is correct

any new definition (more appropriate) are welcome

Is an antenna active device?

In electronics any device that just pass along a signal by its characteristics is defined as passive.

What is the difference between passive star and active repeater in fiber network?

A passive star has no electronics. The light from one fiber illuminates a number of others. An active repeater converts the optical signal to an electri- cal one for further processing.


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 is the difference between passive and interactive information systems?

Passive Systems are those which do not allow for data to be changed, for example an encyclopedia held on CD. Interactive systems however, allow for data to be accessed and ammended by the user.we use passive in bill board or posterwe use iteractive graphics in web sites or electronics devices


What are the basic electronics components?

Passive components like capacitors . resistors and coils then there are active components like amplifiers and IC. wires are not electronics anything but just conductors of electrons. rain nerves and heart capacitors resistors, transistor of course wire


Will the active 3D glasses work with passive 3D tv We have an LG passive 3D TV and we need extra ones My friend has an active 3D TV though so I was wondering if I can just borrow his glasses.?

Active 3d glasses will not work with passive 3d TV. Active glasses use shutter 3D technology that requires a power source to power the lenses in the glasses. Passive glasses don't have electronics or batteries. Hence, they are lighter and more comfortable. Active and passive TV work using completely different technology and thus active glasses cannot work on passive TV.


Can someone tell you the price of 3D TV glasses?

Active 3D TV glasses are from $15 upwards. Passive glasses are cheaper but remember that passive glasses have no electronics built in to them and they only deliver 540 line resolution compared to the full 1080 HD resolution of active systems.


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

What is the example of passive component?

Passive components are components that don't require power being applied in order for them to work. A transformer would be considered an active component because it requires power to operate, while a capacitor, resistor and similar items are considered passive, and many perform multiple functions. For instance, a capacitor will pass AC while storing DC, a resistor can be used to limit voltage or current, etc.
