Components
---------------
Two types of electronic components:
1) Active: Source of energy (includes amplifying components such as transistors).
2) Passive: Cannot introduce energy into the circuit.

Generators
^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. include:: esl.rst
There are two important generators to know:
1) Current generators |igen_c| that strive to maintain constant current on his terminals. Arrow must point towards the current direction (`source <https://ultimateelectronicsbook.com/labeling-voltages-currents-nodes/>`__).
2) Voltage generators |igen_v| that strive to maintain constant voltage on his terminals.
