    An integrated circuit is a set of electronic components built on a chip of semiconductor material like silicon. Passive components like resistors and capacitors do not require an external energy source and cannot amplify signals, while active components such as transistors require power and can amplify signals. Transistors are active components that can amplify input signals using power from an external supply, and devices with power gain like transistors can generate oscillations by feeding output signals back into the input.

    Integrated circuit (IC)

     A set of electronic components on a chip of semiconductor material that is normally


    silicon, in which devices and their interconnections are built.
    Passive component
     A component that does not require a source of energy for its operation.
     A component that cannot produce energy and cannot have power gain meaning that it
    cannot amplify signals.
     Examples; resistors, capacitors, transformers, filters, cables and inductors.
    Active component
     A component that require a source of energy for its operation
     A component that can produce energy and can have power gain meaning that it can
    amplify signals.
     Devices with power gain are distinguishable by their ability to make oscillators, by
    feeding some output signal back into the input.
     Examples; transistors, relays and diodes
    Transistor
     The transistor is an example of an “active” component, a device that can amplify thus
    producing an output signal with more power in it than the input signal.
     The additional power comes from an external source of power (the power supply).
    Nonlinear device
    Oscillator
