Best Answer

Passive electronic components are those which do not amplify voltages or currents by themselves. These include resistors, capacitors and coils. Transistors and integrated circuits are known as' Active' components since they can amplify signals applied to them.

In AC circuits coils (chokes) and capacitors DO change their characteristics when varying frequencies are applied to them but they are generally not classified as active components.

What is the meaning of electrical components?

Electronic component are those component which are used to make the electronic circuit it may be active or passive . some active components are - Diode ,FET,BJT,MOSFET, and HEMT etc. while passive component are those device which can not process/amplify signal like- resistor capacitor inductor etc.


What is Passive linear bilateral network?

If I divide the term into words as (Passive + Linear + Bilateral ) Network then it would be easier to understand. 1st of all, Passive Network is a network that includes **passive electrical / electronic components. Then, Linear Network is consists of passive electrical / electronic components whose parameters such as resistance, capacitance or inductance are constant with respect to current or voltage and in such network each voltage or current source act independently of each other. After that, Bilateral Network is the network in which the magnitude of current remains the same when the voltage polarity is reversed. So, A Passive linear bilateral network includes passive components that exhibit linearity and at the same time magnitude of current is independent of the polarity of voltage. ** Passive electronic components are Resistor, Inductor or Capacitor, they by themselves are not capable of amplifying or processing an electrical signal.
