Passive Components

This page is under construction.

Typical passive components used in electronics do not increase the power of any signal that is applied to them. They may increase or decrease the voltage or current through the device depending on how the circuit components are arranged. There are three major classes of components:

  • Resistors
  • Capacitors
  • Inductors (which includes transformers)
