TYPES OF ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS

TYPES OF ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS 

TWO TYPES OF ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS

1. ACTIVE COMPONENTS
2. PASSIVE COMPONENTS

PASSIVE COMPONENTS:-

The passive component is an electrical component that cant generate energy but it stores energy and /or release energy.

SOME OF THE EXAMPLE OF PASSIVE PASSIVE  COMPONENTS

NAME	SYMBOL	IMAGE
RESISTOR
POWER RESISTOR
LDR (Light-dependent resistor)
VARIABLE RESISTOR
CERAMIC CAPACITOR
INDUCTOR
TRANSFORMER

ACTIVE COMPONENT:-

In electronic active components are the parts of the circuit that rely on the external power source to control the electrical signal.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PASSIVE & ACTIVE COMPONENTS

ACTIVE COMPONENTS	PASSIVE COMPONENTS
ü  COMPICATED TO DESIGN	ü  SIMPLE TO DESIGN
ü  THE RESOLUTION IS HIGH	ü  THE RESOLUTION IS LOW
ü  ADDITIONAL EXTERNAL ENERGY INPUT SOURCE IS REQUIRED	ü  ADDITIONAL ENERGY INPUT SOURCE NOT REQUIRED
ü  EXAMPLE ARE FLOW INDICATOR ,LIQUID LEVEL INDICATOR	üEXAMPLEA VOLTMETER,AMMETER
