Do no require power supply for its operation or the device which electrical
characteristics does not depend on the power supply
Examples: Resistor, capacitor, inductor
Active components:

Electronic Circuits
• An electronic circuit generally contains both the passive and active components.
Therefore a dc power supply is essential for the operation of its active
components. An electronic processing or amplifier devices also need different
power source than its dc operating power source called input signal.
• This input signal characteristics and power can be modified by the electronic
circuit with the presence of its dc operating power supply. The processed input
signal which is obtained from the electronic circuit is called output signal.

Analog and Digital Signals
An electrical signal is a time varying voltage or current which bears the information by
altering the characteristics of the voltage or current. In an analog signal the
characteristics of the voltage or current which represents the information can be any
value.
Analog signal
Digital signal must have discrete value, it is said quantization. In a digital signal the
characteristics of the voltage or current which represents the information has only two
values and sometimes it is called binary signal.
