Correct Answer - Option 4 : Passive components can amplify or increase the power of electrical signal.

Analysis:-

Passive electronic components:

  • These components can either dissipate, absorb or store energy in the form of an electric field or magnetic field.
  • They cannot control the flow of electric current through a circuit but can limit the flow of electric current.
  • As per the name they do not provide gain or amplification of an electrical signal.
  • They do not depend upon the external source of energy or voltage to perform a specific operation.

           Examples- Resistors, Capacitors, Inductors, and Transformers.

Active electronic components:

  • These components supply energy to the circuits.
  • They are capable of amplifying an electrical signal and produce power.

           Examples- Transistors, diodes, MOSFETs, etc.

So, from the above discussion, we can say the incorrect statement regarding passive electronic components is option 4.
