What is an "active component" of the military?, as in "African Americans continue to boost their representation among Active Components enlisted members" [1]


[edit] Diodes

Are these active or passive devices?--Light current 12:49, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

You can find references classifying them either way. IMO, they are more accurately described as Active because their impedance varies with respects to an input. Regarding the current definition in this article, they would have to be Active (direction of current). They are sometimes classified as Passives because the "input" terminals are the same as the "output".Megamemnon 13:59, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
