6 What isElectricity ?
Electricity is nothing but the presence and flow of electric charge in one direction. When there is any potential
difference in an circuit, to make the difference zero, negative charged free electrons flow to the direction of
positive charged protons. The opposite of flow of electron is called as electricity or current.

Resistor: Inductor: Capacitor:
PassiveElements:
Electrical resistance is the
property of the material by
virtue of which it opposes the
flow of electrons through the
material. This element is called
Resistor.
Inductance is the property of
the material by virtue of which
it opposes the change of
magnitude or direction of
current passing through the
conductor. This element is
called Inductor.
Capacitance is the capability of
the element to store electric
charge in it. This element is
called Capacitor. A capacitor
stores the energy in the form of
electric field being established
by the 2 polarities of charges
on the two electrodes.
Unit of resistance is Ohm
and denoted by ‘Ω’ symbol. Unit of inductance is Henry
and denoted by ‘H’ symbol. Unit of capacitance is Farad
and denoted by ‘F’ symbol.

Some Active Elements:
Anactive component is a device that has an analog electronic filter with the ability to amplify a signal or
produce a power gain. There are two types of active components: electron tubes and semiconductors or solid-
state devices.

Q.3. The capacitor has the capacitance of 5 µF. Calculate the stored energy in it if a dc voltage of 100 Volt is
applied across it.
Solution: When the capacitor will be fully charged, the voltage across it would be 100 Volt.
Then we get, V = 100 Volt and C = 5*10-6
