Passive 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. Passive elements are those elements that consume energy. Passive elements are the electrical components of a network that does not produce power, but instead, store consumes, dissipate it. Resistors, capacitors, and inductors are the passive elements in networks or circuits. These elements dissipate and store energy. Capacitor and inductor, both are energy-storing elements. The inductor is a coil of a metallic wire that stores energy in the electromagnetic form, whereas the capacitor is consists of conducting plates that store energy in an electrostatic form. The resistor dissipates the energy.
