Active Components text

Once you've turned on your electronic device, there is one type of component that
your product must have for it to work. This type of component is called the active
component. Active components require electricity to work and are able to control
the electricity running through them. These are the components that keep your
computer off when you turn it off and then turn it on when you turn it on. They
also turn on various parts of your electronic device when certain conditions are
met. For example, when your computer is accessing the hard drive, it is an active
component that tells the hard drive LED indicator to turn on to let you know what
your computer is doing.

So, say you want to build a little electronic toy. You will need at least one active
component. These are considered active components.

 Transistors

 Diodes

Both of these control electricity. Diodes only allow electricity to flow in one
direction. Transistors amplify the electrical signals they receive.

If you want your little electronic toy to do more than just turn on you will need
more than one active component to direct your electricity. Your cell phone, for
example, has lots of transistors that amplify the electricity where it needs to.
Another thing about active components is that they need the electricity to be a
certain amount before they turn on. For example, a diode may have a rating of 0.7
V, meaning that it needs 0.7 V of electricity before turning on and allowing the
electricity to flow through.
