DC AND AC CIRUCITS

Introducing

CIRCUIT ANALYSIS
What are Active & Passive Elements?

Active elements are voltage or current

sources which are able to supply energy to the
network.
Passive elements are which take energy from
the sources and either convert it to another
form or store it in an electric or magnetic field
such as Resistors, inductors, and capacitors.
