Define i)Linear network ii)Non-linear network iii)Bilateral network iv)Unilateral network

1 Answer

Answer :

Linear Network:

If the characteristics, parameter such as resistances, capacitances, inductances etc. remain constant irrespective of changes in temperature, time, voltage etc. then the circuit or network is called Linear network.

Non-Linear Network:

If the parameters of a network change their values with change in voltage, temperature, time etc. then the network is called as Non-Linear Network

Bilateral Network:

If the magnitude of current flowing through a circuit element is not affected when the polarity of the applied voltage is changed, then the element is known as a bilateral element. The bi lateral elements offer the same impedance in both directions. A resistors is a bilateral element. A network comprising of one or more number of bilateral elements is known as a bilateral network.

Unilateral networks:

If the characteristics, response or behavior of a network is dependent on the direction of current through its elements in it, then the network is called as a unilateral network.
