Active components
Active electronic components for power electronics and signal processing
Active electronic components are essential components in electronics that make it possible to amplify, control or generate electrical signals. In contrast to passive components, which merely store or consume energy, active components can increase the energy of a signal and thus achieve an amplifying effect.
Typical examples of active components are transistors, diodes and integrated circuits. Transistors are used as switches or amplifiers in numerous applications, while diodes allow current to flow in a specific direction and are therefore used for rectification or signal modulation. Integrated circuits combine several functions on one chip and form the heart of modern electronic devices.

Function and use of active components in electrical engineering
Active components are essential parts of modern electronic circuits. Their structure and functionality are based on the targeted control and amplification of electrical signals. Semiconductor materials such as silicon, which create conductive and non-conductive zones through specific doping, are central to this.
One example is the transistor: it consists of three layers, known as the base, collector and emitter. By controlling the base, the current flow between the collector and emitter can be precisely controlled. Diodes, on the other hand, use a pn junction that allows current to flow in only one direction.
These mechanisms enable active components to perform crucial tasks such as signal amplification, switching and rectification, which are used in numerous electronic devices.

What are electronic components and what are they used for?
Electronic components are electronic devices or parts that are used in electronic circuits to generate, process, amplify or control electrical signals. They are made of different materials, such as semiconductors, metals or ceramics, and have different functions.
Some commonly used electronic components are
1. resistors: they limit the flow of current in a circuit and are used, for example, to adjust the current or voltage in a circuit.
2. capacitors: They store electrical energy and release it again when required. Capacitors are used in power supplies, for example, to smooth out voltage peaks.
3. transistors: These are semiconductor components that can control the flow of current. Transistors are used in many electronic devices, such as amplifiers, computers or cell phones.
4. diodes: They allow current to flow in one direction only and are used, for example, in rectifiers to convert alternating current into direct current.
5. inductors: They store magnetic energy and are used, for example, in filters or in alternating current circuits.
6. switches: These are electronic components that can open or close the current flow in a circuit.
These are just a few examples of electronic components. There are many other components that are used in different circuits to fulfill specific functions. Electronic components are used in many areas, such as telecommunications, the automotive industry, medical technology, consumer electronics and many more.

How does a transistor work and what role does it play in electronic circuits?
A transistor is an electronic component that is able to amplify or switch electrical signals. It consists of three layers of semiconductor material, which are alternately n- and p-doped.
The layers are referred to as the emitter, base and collector. The emitter is heavily n-doped, the base is lightly p-doped and the collector is heavily p-doped. There are two types of transistors: the bipolar transistor (NPN or PNP) and the field-effect transistor (FET).
The function of a transistor is based on the principle of controlling the current flow by means of a small control voltage. In the case of a bipolar transistor, the current flow between the emitter and collector is controlled by the current in the base. If a small current flows into the base, a larger current flow from the emitter to the collector is made possible. This effect is known as the transistor property of current amplification.
In electronic circuits, the transistor plays an important role as an amplifier and switch. As an amplifier, it can amplify weak electrical signals, such as audio signals, so that they can be further processed in a circuit. The transistor works in active mode, in which it functions as an amplifier.
As a switch, a transistor can control the flow of current in a circuit. In so-called saturation mode, the transistor is brought into the conductive state by a control voltage, which enables the flow of current between the emitter and collector. In blocking mode, on the other hand, the transistor is brought into the blocking state by the control voltage, which blocks the flow of current.
The transistor thus enables the realization of complex circuits, such as amplifiers, signal processing circuits, oscillators or digital circuits. It is an essential component in electronics and has made the development of modern electronic devices possible in the first place.

What types of resistors are there and how do they influence the current flow in a circuit?
There are different types of resistors, but the three basic types are:
1. fixed resistors: these are the most common resistors and have a fixed and constant value. They can be measured in ohms and affect the current flow in a circuit by increasing the electrical resistance. The greater the resistance, the lower the current flow.
2. variable resistors: These resistors have an adjustable value and can be adjusted in the circuit as required. A well-known example of a variable resistor is a potentiometer. By changing the resistance value, the current flow in the circuit can be increased or decreased.
3. semiconductor resistors: These resistors are based on semiconductor materials and have a variable resistance that can be influenced by external factors such as temperature or light. A well-known example of a semiconductor resistor is an LDR (Light Dependent Resistor). Depending on the intensity of the incident light, the resistance changes and influences the current flow in the circuit.
As a general rule, the greater the resistance, the lower the current flow in a circuit. Resistors are used to limit or control the current flow to ensure that the components in the circuit function correctly and are not overloaded.

How are capacitors used in electronic devices and how do they store electrical charge?
Capacitors are used in electronic devices for various purposes, including
1. storage of electrical energy: capacitors can store electrical charge by creating a potential difference between the two electrodes. When a voltage is applied to the capacitor, positive charges accumulate on one electrode and negative charges accumulate on the other electrode. This charge storage enables the capacitor to store energy that can be released later.
2. decoupling and smoothing of voltages: Capacitors are used to reduce voltage fluctuations and provide a constant voltage for the circuit. They can act as a buffer to minimize unwanted interference and reduce electrical noise.
3. filtering of signals: Capacitors can be used to block or pass certain frequencies. In conjunction with resistors and inductors, they are used in filter circuits to remove or reduce unwanted frequency components.
4. generation of time delays: Capacitors can be used to create time delays in circuits. The charge storage and discharge of the capacitor can be used to create delays in circuits, for example in conjunction with resistors in RC circuits.
The electrical charge is stored in the capacitor by electrons moving from one electrode to another. When a voltage is applied to the capacitor, electrons are drawn from the negatively charged electrode to the positively charged electrode. This process charges the capacitor and creates a potential difference between the electrodes. The stored charge can then be released again when the capacitor is discharged.

What is the difference between active and passive components and what examples are there for both?
Active components are electronic components that can supply, amplify or control energy in the electrical system. They require an external energy source in order to function. Examples of active components are transistors, operational amplifiers, integrated circuits (ICs) and thyristors.
Passive components are components that cannot supply or amplify energy. They react to electrical signals by modifying or storing them. Passive components do not require an external energy source in order to function. Examples of passive components are resistors, capacitors, coils and inductors.
To summarize, active components supply or control energy, while passive components modify or store electrical signals.
