There are two types of component.
- Active component
- passive component

- Active component
- Active components rely on a source of energy (usually from the DC circuit, which we have chosen to ignore) and usually can inject power into a circuit, though this is not part of the definition.[1] [2]Active components include amplifying components such as transistors, triode vacuum tubes (valves), and tunnel diode.

- Passive component
- Passive components can't introduce net energy into the circuit. They also can't rely on a source of power, except for what is available from the (AC) circuit they are connected to. As a consequence they can't amplify (increase the power of a signal), although they may increase a voltage or current (such as is done by a transformer or resonant circuit). Passive components include two-terminal components such as resistors, capacitors, instructors, and transformers.
