Electronic components are individual devices or parts that are used to build electronic circuits and systems. These components are the building blocks of electronic devices and play specific roles in the functioning of these devices.
Electronic components can be categorized into two main types: passive components and active components. Passive components do not require a power source to function; they respond to electrical signals without amplifying or generating them. Active components require an external power source to function and can amplify or generate electrical signals.
Engineers and technologists use these components in various combinations to create electronic circuits tailored to their intended purposes.
