Components of Electronic

There are two kinds of Component in electronic:

1. Passive components are those that do not have gain or directionality. In the Electrical industry they are called Electrical elements or electrical components. They are such as : Terminal & Connectors, Switch, Resistors, Capasitors, Inductors, etc).
   
2. Active components are those that have gain or directionality, in contrast to passive components, which have neither. They include Semiconductors (Solid State Devices, Diodes, Transistors, Integrated Circuit - IC, Hybrid Circuit) and Thermionic Valves (Vacuum Tubes).
