14.Passive element


Resistor: Resistor is a passive element Resistance is the opposition to current flow in various degrees.  The practical unit of resistance is called the ohm (Ω). 
To describe the resistance of a resistor and hence it’s characteristic, it is important to define ohm’s law.


By ohms law:


Conductance:Conductance (G) is the exact opposite of resistance.in mathematically
 
Where G is measure in Siemens (S) and sometime also represent by the unit (Ʊ)

Capacitor: a capacitor is a passive element that has capacity to store charge in an electric field.it is widely used in electric circuit in the form of a filter.

By equation

Where C is the capacitance measured in Farads (F) and v (0) is the initial voltage or charge stored in the capacitor.
Inductor: an inductor is a piece of conducting wire generally wrapped around a core of a ferromagnetic materials like capacitor, they are employed as filtering as well but the most well-known application is their use in AC transformers or power supplies that convert AC voltage level.
In an inductor the v-I relation is given by the following equation

 Relation between V-I
