In Electronics we have the two types of components
a. Active components
(These components require a source of energy to perform its function i.e these components can control flow electricity.)
Example:
1.Transistors
3.Integrated circuits
b. Passive components
(These components won’t require a source of energy to perform its function i.e these components can not control the flow of electricity.)
Example:
1.Resistor
2.capacitors
3.Diodes
Passives components are two types
Linear components
(The response of the electric signal will be linear)
Example: Resistors, Capacitors
Non-linear components
(The response of the electrical signal will be non-linear)
Example: Diodes
