Default Active device nonsense
In article ,
says...

"passive component Electronics. A component that does not require power
to operate, e.g., a resistor. Contrast with active. "

Umm, if a resistor is operating witthout power, just what is it doing ?

Hey, I am not being a pain, it's the subject.

Do you need power or assistance to pass gas?
