  2. Electronic component - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_component

    The strict physics definition treats passive components as ones that cannot supply energy themselves, whereas a battery would be seen as an active component since it truly acts as a source of energy. However, electronic engineers who perform circuit analysis use a more restrictive definition of passivity .

  3. Passivity (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passivity_(engineering)

    A passive filter is a kind of electronic filter that is made only from passive components – in contrast to an active filter, it does not require an external power source (beyond the signal). Since most filters are linear, in most cases, passive filters are composed of just the four basic linear elements – resistors, capacitors, inductors ...

  4. Bioelectronics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioelectronics

    A ribosome is a biological machine that utilizes protein dynamics. At the first C.E.C. Workshop, in Brussels in November 1991, bioelectronics was defined as 'the use of biological materials and biological architectures for information processing systems and new devices'.

    In passive electrolocation, objects such as prey are detected by sensing the electric fields they create. In active electrolocation, fish generate a weak electric field and sense the different distortions of that field created by objects that conduct or resist electricity.

    A circuit using one or more electronic devices. electronic component An active or passive element of an electronic circuit. electronic control unit In an automobile, an embedded electronic system that controls some aspect of a vehicle (ignition, transmission, and so on). electronic design automation

  7. Developmental bioelectricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developmental_bioelectricity

    Developmental bioelectricity is a sub-discipline of biology, related to, but distinct from, neurophysiology and bioelectromagnetics. Developmental bioelectricity refers to the endogenous ion fluxes, transmembrane and transepithelial voltage gradients, and electric currents and fields produced and sustained in living cells and tissues.

  8. Integrated passive devices - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_passive_devices

    Integrated passive devices (IPDs), also known as integrated passive components (IPCs) or embedded passive components (EPC), are electronic components where resistors (R), capacitors (C), inductors (L)/coils/chokes, microstriplines, impedance matching elements, baluns or any combinations of them are integrated in the same package or on the same ...

  9. Electrical element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_element

    Only nine types of element (memristor not included), five passive and four active, are required to model any electrical component or circuit. [2]Each element is defined by a relation between the state variables of the network: current, ; voltage, ; charge, ; and magnetic flux, .
