Electronics Frequently asked Questions:


1. Define electronic component.

Electronic components are the basic building blocks of electronic system or electronic circuit.

2. List different types of electronic components

Electronic components are mainly classified into two types:

Passive components
Active components

3. Define passive component.

A passive component is an electronic component that consumes energy in the form of voltage but does not supply energy.

4. What are the characteristics of passive components?

Passive components cannot increase the power of an electrical signal.
Passive components temporarily store the electrical energy in the form of electric field or magnetic field.
Passive components do not depend on the external source of voltage to perform a specific task.

5. What are the characteristics of active components?

Active components control the electric current flowing through them.
Active components depend on the external voltage or current to work.
Active components amplify the power of an electrical signal.

6. Define active component.

Active component is an electronic component that consumes energy in the form of voltage or current and supplies energy in the form of voltage or current.
