BASIC COMPONENTS OF ELECTRONICS

 Active Vs. Passive components 

Electronic components are the basic building blocks of an electronic circuit. They control the flow of electrons in an electronic system or electronic circuit. 

Electronic components are very small. The cost of electronic components is also low. Electronic components consist of two or more terminals. 

When a group of electronic components is connected together in an electronic board such as printed circuit board (PCB), a useful electronic circuit is formed. Each electronic component in a circuit performs a particular task.

Types of electronic components: 

The electronic components are generally classified into two types: 

                   1. Passive components 

                   2. Active components 

Passive components:

                         These components can store or maintains energy either in the form of current or voltage.

Active components: 

                            These components rely on a source of energy and are able to control the electron flow through them. Some of these components are semiconductors like diodes, transistors, integrated circuits.
