Active n/w
|
Passive n/w
|
1 |
It is a network which contains active elements.
|
It is a network which does not contains active elements or any sources of emf in it.
|
2 |
Active elements such as battery, transistor, vaccum tube etc
|
Passive elements such as Resistor, capacitor, inductor
|
ii) Bilateral n/w and unilateral n/w
Sr. No.
|
Bilateral n/w
|
Unilateral n/w
|
1 |
In bilateral circuits, the property of circuit does not change with the change of direction of supply voltage or current. In other words, bilateral circuit allows the current to flow in both directions.
|
In unilateral n/w, the property of circuit changes with the change of direction of supply voltage or current. In other words, unilateral circuit allows the current to flow only in one direction.
