Electronic components are divided into active and passive categories. Passive components are those that do not exhibit gain or directional characteristics. They include resistors, capacitors and inductors.
Active components are those that show a gain, such as a voltage or current gain, or have a directional characteristic such as a diode conducting only in one direction. Transistors, diodes, triacs and SCRs are examples.
There is something of a debate about certain other components. Transformers, motors and relays are sometimes called active and sometimes not. It is perhaps more important that their function is understood than how they are classified.

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 differnce between active and passive transport?
passive doesn't neeed energy but active transport does
Is the west coast of Africa a passive or active continental margin?

What are passive transducers and examples?
Passive transducers are the transducers which requires an external power supply to operate and the output is a measure of some variation in passive components. Example- Differential transformers, Resistance strain gauge etc..
How active components are different from passive components?
active components can have gain, passive can't.

What are Passive components and its characteristics?
A passive component does not interact as an active component like an amplifier
What is the difference between active load and passive load?
Passive Load is Load comprising of Passive Components Active Load is the Load comprising of Active Components In Test Boards its better to use Active Loads, If you are concerned about Temperature Variations during characterisation
Difference between active and passive components?
ACTIVE COMPONENTS The components which produce the energy in the form of current or voltage are called as active components. Example:transistors etc,. PASSIVE COMPONENTS The components which stores the energy in the form of current or voltage are called as passive components. example:inductors,resistors,capacitors etc,.

Define the difference between active and passive Prevetive Maintenance In Computer System?
Active maintenance is for all hard ware components and Passive maintenance for the supporting devices of hard ware 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 are the component of oscillator?
It can contain active and passive components with a positive feedback loop.
Why active filters so called even though uses passive resistors?
It has to have resistors but an active filter will alsol have an active device, usually an op-amp, while a passive filter has only passive components and needs no power supply.
What are active elements in circuit?
A; Any components that provide gain/loss are active device resistors, capacitors are passive
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
Difference between active and passive elements?
Active components can deliver a finite amount of power for some finite amount of time period where passive components can not deliver finite amount of power for some finite amount of time.
