Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is a passive device?
A
battery
B
capacitor
C
rectifier
D
transistor
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Resistors, capacitors, inductors, transformers, and even diodes are all considered passive devices.

Detailed explanation-2: -Passive components like resistors, inductors, and capacitors influence the flow of power but do not require an external power source to function.

Detailed explanation-3: -A capacitor is regarded as a passive element since it has the capacity to store energy in the form of an electric field.

Detailed explanation-4: -A capacitor is considered as a passive element because it can store energy in it as electricfield. The energy dealing capacity of a capacitor is limited and transient – it is not actually supplying energy, it is storing it for later use.

Detailed explanation-5: -Resistors: A resistor is taken as a passive element since it can not deliver any energy to a circuit.
