Hacks of Electronics
The primary difference between active and passive electronic components lies in their ability to control electric current. Active components can control the flow of electricity, whereas Passive components cannot control the flow of electricity running through them. Here’s a detailed comparison between the two: Active Components: Definition Active components are electronic components that can control […]
You have seen various types of electronic components they may be divided into two active and passive. Here is the definition of passive electronic components and their classification. Definition of Passive Components: “The devices which cannot control the flow of electrons by any other electrical signal are called passive components.” Resistors, capacitors, inductors, etc are […]
Definition of Active components: “Active components are those who has the ability to control flow of electrons either by using voltage or by using another current.” Voltage-controlled devices are MOSFETs, vacuum tubes, while current-controlled devices are bipolar junction transistors which allow one current to control another. Active components can be of different types like semiconductor […]
