Collection: Passive Components

A passive component is a module that does not require energy to operate, except for the available alternating current (AC) circuit that it is connected to. A passive module is not capable of power gain and is not a source of energy. A typical passive component would include resistors, inductors, capacitors and transformers, which together are required to build any electrical or electronic circuit.

A passive component is a module that requires no energy to operate, other than the available alternating current (AC) circuit to which it is connected. Passive mods do not gain power and are not energy sources. Typical passive components include resistors, inductors, capacitors and transformers, which are required to construct any electrical or electronic circuit.
