Introduction to Active and

Passive components
Made by: Prof. Rashmi G. Patil
What is Electronic component
Electronic components are the basic building blocks of
an electronic circuit or electronic system or electronic
device.
They control the flow of electrons in an electronic
system or electronic circuit.
 E.g. Resistors , capacitors, Inductors, diodes,
transistors, LED etc.
Classification of electronics components
Application of Electronics
Communication and Entertainment
Defense Application
Industrial Applications
Medical Science
Instrumentation
 Electronic Components are classified into active
components and passive component.

Passive Component: The component which do


not requires power supply for its operation is called
as Passive component .
Common examples of passive components
include:
Resistors
Inductors
Capacitors
Transformers
Difference between Active component and Passive components
Resistors
Definition: Resistor is an electronics component
which provides the specifies amount of opposition
(resistance) to the flow of current.
It can be a fixed value or a variable resistor.
Unit: The value of resistor is called resistance. It is
denoted by R and the unit of resistance is Ohms (Ω).
Symbol:

Fixed Resistor Variable Resistor


Resistance
 
Units
K (kilo) = 103
M (mega) = 106
m (milli) = 10-3
m (micro) = 10-6
n (nano) = 10-9
p (pico) = 10-12

Kilo and Mega are common in resistors


Milli, micro, nano and pico can be used in other
components like capacitor.
Classification of Resistors
2-1: Types of Resistors
Wire Wound Resistor
Special resistance wire is
wrapped around an insulating
core, typically porcelain,
cement, or pressed paper.
These resistors are typically used
for high-current applications
with low resistance and
appreciable power.

2-1: Types of Resistors
 Carbon Composition Resistors
 Made of carbon or graphite
mixed with a powdered
insulating material.
 Metal caps with tinned copper
wire (called axial leads) are
joined to the ends of the
carbon resistance element.
They are used for soldering the
connections into a circuit.
 Becoming obsolete because of
the development of carbon- Fig. 2-2: Carbon resistors with the same physical
film resistors. size but different resistance values. The physical
size indicates a power rating of ½ W.

2-1: Types of Resistors
Surface-Mount Resistors (also
called chip resistors)
These resistors are:
 Temperature-stable and rugged
 Their end electrodes are soldered
directly to a circuit board.
 Much smaller than conventional
resistors with axial leads.
 Power dissipation rating is usually
1/8 to ¼ W

2-1: Types of Resistors
Fusible Resistors:

Fusible resistors are wire-wound resistors made to burn


open easily when the power rating is exceeded. They
serve a dual function as both a fuse and a resistor.
2-1: Types of Resistors
Thermistors:
Thermistors are temperature-
sensitive resistors whose
resistance value changes with
changes in operating
temperature.
Used in electronic circuits where
temperature measurement,
control, and compensation are
desired.

2-3: Variable Resistors
A variable resistor is a resistor whose resistance value
can be changed.

2-4: Rheostats and Potentiometers
Rheostats and potentiometers are variable resistances used
to vary the amount of current or voltage in a circuit.
Rheostats:
 Two terminals.
 Connected in series with the load and the voltage source.
 Varies the current.

2-4: Rheostats and Potentiometers
Potentiometers
Potentiometers are three-
terminal devices.
The applied V is input to
the two end terminals of
the potentiometer.
The variable V is output
between the variable arm
and an end terminal.
