P = VI = V.V/R = V2/ R
OR
P = VI = IR .I = I2R
2. Inductor:
An inductor is a coil of wire which may have a core of
air, iron or ferrite (a brittle material made from iron). Its
electrical property is called inductance and the unit for
this is the Henry, symbol H.
L = NΦ / l
3. Capacitor :
• When an insulating material is placed between
two conducting plates a capacitor is formed.
• The ability of capacitor to store electric charge is
called the capacitance and the symbol of its is C
and its unit is farad(F)
C = Q /V
Active Components:
An Active component is that which is capable of
delivering power to some external device.
E.g. voltage source or current source
1. Voltage source:
• A Voltage source may be a d.c. or an a.c.
• A d.c. Voltage source is battery and an a.c.
Voltage source is obtained from a.c. supply.
2. Current Source:
Current Source Supplies Current.
A current source may be a d.c current source
