Electrical Elements
Electric circuits consist of two types of elements – Active elements and Passive elements.
Active element: The elements that are capable of generating or supplying electrical energy.
Ex: voltage source and current source, oscillators, etc.
Passive element – The elements which do not generate electricity but either consume it or store it.
Ex. -Resistors, Inductors, Capacitors, etc.
Let’s look at some of these elements
• Resistor : It is a device that limits, regulates or reduces the flow of electric current.
• Inductor : It is a device that stores energy in magnetic field when current flows through it.
• Capacitor: It stores energy in the form of charge in an electric circuit.
• Current source : It is a source that is independent of the voltage across it and provides current that remains constant.
• Voltage source : It is a source which is independent of current drawn and the voltage across it is always constant.
Series and Parallel Connection
- Series connection – If the current flowing in a circuit is same through all the components, then the circuit is said to connected in series connection. As the name suggests the components in a series circuit is connected in a line
- Parallel connection – If the current has different paths to flow through then the circuit is said to be connected in parallel connection. As the name suggests the components in parallel circuit are connected parallel to each other.
