An electronic circuit composed of passive elements, such as resistors, inductors, or capacitors, without any active elements, such as vacuum tubes or transistors generally resulting in a signal loss
the voice used to indicate that the grammatical subject of the verb is the recipient (not the source) of the action denoted by the verb; "`The ball was thrown by the boy' uses the passive voice"; "`The ball was thrown' is an abbreviated passive"
Inactive; inert; not showing strong affinity; as, red phosphorus is comparatively passive
The type of circuitry that does <I>not<P> require external power, but rather uses only basic circuit elements such as capacitors, inductors, and resistors (e g , We used two capacitors and one inductor to make a 6 dB/octave passive crossover for our midrange speakers )
Not requiring an external source of power; containing resistors, capacitors, inductors, etc , but no tubes or transistors; provides no amplification
Designating certain morbid conditions, as hemorrhage or dropsy, characterized by relaxation of the vessels and tissues, with deficient vitality and lack of reaction in the affected tissues
asserting that the person or thing represented by the grammatical subject is subjected to or affected by the action represented by the verb In the last sentence, the subject "person or thing" is acted upon by the verbs "subject" and "affect", so the sentence is in the passive voice In the last sentence, the subject "subject" is acted upon by the verb "act", so the sentence is also in the passive voice (Repeat last sentence ad infinitum )

His passive attitude made things easier for me active + passively pas·sive·ly He sat there passively, content to wait for his father to make the opening move. + passivity pas·sivi·ty the passivity of the public under the military occupation
Containing no power sources to augment output power, e g , passive electrical network, passive reflector (as in the Echo satellite) Applied to a device that draws all its power from the input signal Compare active
{i} (Grammar) verb form used to show that the subject is being acted upon (rather than performing an action)
(of a defensive play) not risking tricks but not tending to promote any immediately
refers to a move that merely guards, wards off threats, or marks time, as opposed to an active attacking or counterattacking move
In grammar, the passive or the passive voice is formed using `be' and the past participle of a verb. The subject of a passive clause does not perform the action expressed by the verb but is affected by it. For example, in `He's been murdered', the verb is in the passive. Compare active. the passive the passive form of a verb, for example 'was destroyed' in the sentence 'The building was destroyed during the war.' active
A characteristic condition of stainless steels which impedes normal corrosion tendencies to the point where the metal remains virtually un-attacked hence passive to its environment
