COMPONENTS
Active components
Active components increase the power of a signal and
must be supplied with the signal and a source of
power. The signal is fed into one connection of the
active device and the amplified version taken from
another connection.
Passive components
Passive components do not increase the power of a
signal. They often cause power to be lost. Some can
increase the voltage at the expense of current, so
overall there is loss of power.
Resistors, Capacitors, Inductors & Diodes are the
examples of passive components.
