* Passive devices or components do not supply any energy,
but can store it or dissipate it
a) Those which dissipate energy- Resistors
b) Those which store energy- Inductors, capacitors
® Resistors, inductors, capacitors and transformers are the
main passive components and basic of electronics.
© Passive components are electrical components that do not
require any form of electrical power to operate.
© The component which exhibits no gain
© The average power delivered to the device over an
infinite time period is always greater than equal to Zero.

Different Types of Capacitors
WO. ir,electrolytic capacitor
© Electrolytic Capacitors are generally used in DC
power supply circuits due to their large capacitance’s WS
and small size to help reduce the ripple voltage or for
coupling and decoupling applications. y
© They are able to offer high capacitance values -
typically above 11F
© Low frequency applications - power supplies,
decoupling and audio coupling applications as they \
have a frequency limit if around 100 kHz.Ceramic capacitor
* High frequency applications — resonance circuits and high
frequency filters.

© Ceramic types of capacitors generally have a 3-digit code | |
value in pico-farads.
© Generally the first two digits indicate the capacitors value
and the third digit indicates the number of zero’s to be
added. a
* Letter codes are sometimes used to indicate their vee
tolerance value such as

© An inductor is a passive two-terminal
electrical component that temporarily stores
energy in the form of electromagnetic field
when electric current flows through it.
* In its most basic form, an Inductor is
nothing more than a coil of wire wound
around a central core.
© Opposes any change in current flowing
through it
* Denoted by letter L, and unit of inductance
is Henry(H)Inductor
* Inductor tries to prevent the current
flowing through it from changing.

* A device which converts some source of energy into electrical energy is called an
electrical source.
Eg, Battery converts chemical energy into electrical energy
A solar cell converts light energy into electrical energy.
A generator converts mechanical energy into mechanical energy.
‘Two types of electrical energy sources are used i.e. voltage source and current source.
They are further classified into following two types:
2) Independent Source ) Dependent Source

1, Voltage source

* Its two terminal device

Practical voltage sourceIdeal voltage source
® An ideal voltage source is one which
maintains a constant terminal voltage
across the load over an infinite value
of current through the load.
* An ideal voltage source posses zero
internal resistance (or impedance)
© HereV, = IR,
© Here if we vary R, then Talso varies
accordingly making V, = IR,
constant i.e. equal toV.,Practical voltage source.
© Realization of ideal voltage source is not
possible
© An actual voltage source will have some
internal resistance or impedance
© Hence terminal voltage across load will

® It is two terminal device which provides a definite amount of a current to a
circuit connected across its terminal.
a) IDEAL CURRENT SOURCE
© It gives a constant current to the load over an infinite value of a load voltage
across the load
* i.e. an ideal current source can supply infinite amount of power to the load.
© For an ideal source, Load current I = I, whatever the load voltage may be.IDEAL CURRENT SOURCE.....
© If'such a source could conduct
current through an infinitely large
resistance, the voltage drop across the
load will be infinitely large,
employing an infinitely large
consumption of power in the load
No such source exists in practice
which could ever supply an infinite
powerPractical current source
= There must be some path inside the
source itself which consists the
internal resistance in parallel.
« As the internal resistance increases,
current through the load increases.
I, =1,- =
* When R,= «, then I,=0, so V,=IsRg
* The entire I, flows through this path.
« When R,=0, then V,=0 , So ||=I,
* When finite load resistance is
connected, only a part of I; flows
through the path.Dependent or controlled source

Passive filter
© Filters which use the component R, L and C
© The gains of such filter are always less than or equal to unity (i.e. GSI)
* It is noted that the L and C are filter components but not R
© Use of inductor makes circuit bulky and it requires much more power for its
operationActive Filter
* Filters which used the component such as transistors, Op-Amp etc.
© The gain of such filter is greater than or equal to unity (i.e. G2 1).
© The filter specifications are generally given in terms of cut-off frequencies (@,),
pass band (PB) and stop band (SB) regions.
* Pass band is the frequency band of desired signal.
