Active Elements
Active elements are capable of providing an
average power greater than zero to external
devices, over an infinite period of time.

Examples

Current source:
produces a current in a
conductor

Voltage source:
produces a potential
difference between two
points.

Passive Elements
Passive element is an element of the electrical
circuit that Does Not create Power.

Resistors, Capacitors, Inductors and

diodes are examples of passive
elements.

Voltage and Current

Voltage: A measure of the work to move a
charge.
Voltage= Energy/ Charge.
Current: Charge in motion
Current= Charge/ Time.
Power = V*I= Energy * Charge = Energy

Resistor
When a voltage V is applied across
the terminals of a resistor, a
current I will flow through the
resistor.

The current is directly

proportional to the voltage

using ohms law I=1*V
R
Where the slope of the line =
1/R

Capacitor
Capacitance C, measured in Farads - is an electronic
component consisting of a pair of conductors
separated by a dielectric (insulator).
When there is a voltage across the conductors, a
static electric field develops, that stores finite

amount of energy.
Impedance Zc= 1/jc, Where = 2f.

Series

Parallel

In the capacitor the Current leads the

Voltage.

Inductor
Inductance L, measured in Henries Typically
an inductor is a conducting wire shaped as a
coil.
electric current passing through the inductor
creates a magnetic field and thus stores
energy.
Impedance ZL= jL , where = 2f.

Series

Parallel

In the inductor the Voltage leads the Current.

CIVIL

Diode

A diode is a two-terminal electronic

component that conducts electric current in
only one direction.
The most common function of a diode is to allow an
electric current to pass in one direction while

blocking current in the opposite direction.
