A capacitor is passive like a resistor is passive it performs no active amplification.
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.
A capacitor is an electric component, it's purpose is to gain and store electricity. There are different kinds of capacitors and they are used for many different reasons so this is a really basic answer. It a passive conponent its usage is to store energy and to block DC
Active means devices that perform functions in a non linear fashion [amplifiers] passive are components that perform according to a set of linear rules
A passive element is an element of the electrical circuit that does not create power, like a capacitor, an inductance, a resistor or a memristor.
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.
you cannot increase the voltage by replacing a capacitor. A capacitor is a passive components it has no gain.
capacitor
Passive element. An active element is an element that can generate power. Capacitors can't generate power, hence they are passive elements.

A capacitor is a passive 2 terminal electrical component used to store energy in an electric field.
Capacitor (a passive electronic component). Or Coulomb (unit of electric charge).
no, the capacitor is a passive element it doesn't change the real power the energy it consum during charging it gives back when descharging
A capacitor is to electricity as a glass is to water. Both are passive devices, they can be filled and they can be emptied.
A: If you are reading this out of a book that book is wrong resistors capacitors coils are passive components NOT active
No, a resistor cannot store current. A capacitor is a passive device that can store a small amount of DC current.
A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that limits or controls the flow of current in a circuit, while a capacitor is a passive two-terminal electronic component that stores and releases electrical energy. Resistors dissipate energy in the form of heat, whereas capacitors store energy in an electric field.
a memristor is the fourth passive element in the electric circuit joining the resistor,inductor and capacitor , the word memristor is the concatenation of "memory" and "resistance"
