Since fuses are passive elements, they are inherently secure.
Diode logic gates are implemented by passive elements; so, they have two restoration problems.
Within the Church, there exist not an active and passive element, leadership and lay people.
In its most common form, an equivalent circuit is made up of linear, passive elements.
To more exactly describe the passive elements, their constitutive relation is used instead of simple proportionality.
It's a seemingly small addition, but one that adds a fun, yet passive, new element to the game.
Other electronic components are passive elements like resistors and capacitors.
Whatever returns the vehicle to equilibrium must be capable of restoring this potential energy, and hence cannot consist of passive elements alone.
The asymptotic gain is (usually) only a function of passive elements in a circuit, and can often be found by inspection.
Passive integrator circuit is a simple four-terminal network consisting of two passive elements.
