Questions and Answers

Define active components and provide examples of commonly used active components.

Active components are elements or devices capable of providing or delivering energy to the circuit. They require a source of energy, typically in the form of a direct current, to perform their specific function. Common active components include diodes, transistors, and integrated circuits (ICs).

What is the function of a transistor in a circuit?

Transistors are mostly used for amplifying electrical signals or as switching devices in a circuit.

Explain the function of a diode in a circuit.

Diodes permit electricity to flow in one direction only within a circuit.

What are integrated circuits (ICs) and how are they used in circuits?

<p>Integrated circuits (ICs) are multiple complex circuits on a circuit board, used to perform various tasks. Despite consisting of many other components, they are still considered a component.</p> Signup and view all the answers
