Passive electronic components are those which do not amplify voltages or currents by themselves. These include resistors, capacitors and coils. Transistors and integrated circuits are known as' Active' components since they can amplify signals applied to them.

In AC circuits coils (chokes) and capacitors DO change their characteristics when varying frequencies are applied to them but they are generally not classified as active components.

Is resistance is a passive element?

Resistance is not considered a passive element in the context of electrical circuits. Passive elements are components that do not introduce energy into the circuit, such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors. Resistors, however, dissipate energy in the form of heat and actively oppose the flow of electrical current.
