Electronics Components

These are mainly two types -

(i). Passive Components- The electronic components which are not capable of amplifying or processing an electrical signals are called passive components. 

                                In other words a passive components is an electrical component that does not generate power but instead dissipates, stores or releases it.

                example- Resistors, Capacitors and Inductors

(ii). Active Components:- The electronic components which are capable of amplifying or processing an electrical signals are called active components. Its also capable of supplying power.

                example- Vacuum tubes, gas tubes and semiconductors
