    Active and Passive Electronic Components

    BY SANTOSH DAS | LAST UPDATED ON AUGUST 10, 2019


    Active and Passive Electronic Components are two classes of electronic components.
    Both these classes of electronic components are different from each other. This article
    explains all about active and passive electronic components with examples and the
    difference between the two.

    What are Active Electronic Components?


    Active electronic components are those that can control the flow of electricity. Different
    Types of Printed Circuit Boards have at least one active component. Some examples of
    active electronic components are transistor, vacuum tubes, silicon-controlled rectifiers
    (SCRs).

    What are Passive Electronic Components?


    Passive electronic components are those that don’t have the ability to control electric
    currentby means of another electrical signal. Examples of passive electronic
    components are capacitors, resistors, inductors, transformers, and diodes. These can
    be either Thru-Hole of SMD Components.

    What is a Resistor?
    A Resistor is an electrical device that resists the flow of electrical current. It is a passive
    device used to control, or impede the flow of, electric current in an electric circuit by
    providing resistance, thereby developing a drop in voltage across the device
    .

    What is a Capacitor?
    A capacitor is a passive electrical
    component that can store energy in the
    electric field between a pair of conductors called “plates”. The process of storing energy
    in the capacitor is known as “charging“. The ability of a capacitor to store charge is
    measured by its capacitance.
    Capacitors are used in electronic circuits as energy storage devices. They are also be
    used to differentiate between high-frequency and low-frequency signals. A wide variety
    of capacitors are available, including  electrolytic capacitors, basic parallel-plate
    capacitors, and mechanical variable capacitors.

    What is a Diode?
    A diode is a one-way valve for electricity. Diodes allow flow of electricity in one direction.
    Most diodes have a painted line on one end showing the direction or flow. The negative
    side is normally white.

    What is an Integrated Circuit (IC)?


    Integrated Circuits (ICs) are package of several complex circuits. ICs are available in a
    wide variety of packages and sizes. Their applications are as varied as their packages.

    What are Transistors?


    A transistor is a semiconductor device. It is the fundamental building block of the
    circuitry in mobile phones, computers, and several other electronic devices. A transistor
    has very fast response and is used in a number of functions including voltage
    regulation, amplification, switching, signal modulation, and oscillators.
    Transistors may be packaged individually or they can be a part of an integrated circuit.
    Some of the ICs have billion of transistors in a very small area.
