Active elements in an electrical network

Active elements

An electrical network is consist of several elements like voltages source, resistors, capacitors, etc. These components or elements make an electrical network by joining together. These elements are categorized concerning their functions and significance in the network. So, there are two types of elements, one is active elements and the second is passive elements. Both types of elements play a major role in the networks or circuits. Active elements are those elements that generate energy and provide to electrical circuits or networks. Active elements are the electrical components of a network that generate power and distribute it to the whole network. Batteries and generators that generate power, are the active elements in networks or circuits. Any source of power or energy in a circuit is an active element. These elements are the energy supplier to circuits. Voltage source and current source are the two types of power generating elements in the network. Again these both sources are subdivided. There are two types of sources. Dependent source and independent sources. A source that depends on another source for power is dependent. Independent source is free from any other sources and it is an independent sources element to the electrical network system.
