Passive or Active?

Passive Components

A passive component (depending on field), may either refer to a component that consumes (but does not produce) energy or to a component that is incapable of power gain. (e.g. : resistor, fuse).

Active Components

An active components are those that have gain or directionality, in contrast to passive components, which have neither. They include Semiconductors (Solid State Devices), Transistor, Diode and more.
