What are Linear and Non-linear Circuits and Its Differences?

The electrical devices are built with the help of the linear and nonlinear components. To understand the basic design of these devices, the fundamental understanding of linear circuit and non-linear circuit are necessary. In this article, we are discussing what is a linear and non-linear circuits with its differences, elements of the linear & nonlinear circuit and some of the examples are explained.

What are Linear and Non-linear Circuits?

Simply we can say that the linear circuit is an electric circuit and the parameters of this circuit are resistance, capacitance, inductance and etc which are constant. Or we can say that the parameters of the circuits are not changed with respect to the voltage and current is called the linear circuit.

The non-linear circuit is also an electric circuit and the parameters of this circuit differ with respect to the current and the voltage. Or in the electric circuit, the parameters like waveforms, resistance, inductance and etc are not constant is called as non- linear circuit.

Difference Between the Linear and Non-Linear circuit

Generally, the word linear means a straight line which looks like diagonal and it has linear characteristics between voltage and current. i.e the current flow in the circuit is directly proportional to the voltage. If there is an increase in the voltage then the current flow in the circuit also increases and vice versa. The output characteristics of the linear circuit are between current and voltage of the figure is shown below.

In a linear circuit, the response of the output is directly proportional to the input. In the circuit, the applied sinusoidal having the frequency “f” and the output means the voltage between the two points is also having the sinusoidal frequency “f”.

In the non-linear circuit, the output characteristic is like a curve line which in between the voltage and current as shown in the following figure.

The other difference between the linear and nonlinear circuit is solving the circuit. In the linear circuits, the solving of the circuit is a simple by using a simple technique, using a calculator to solve and by comparing with the non-linear circuit the linear circuit is easy to solve.

The solving of the non-linear circuits is complex than the linear circuit and there is a lot of data, information is required to solve the nonlinear circuits. Due to a lot of change in the technology, we can simulate and analyze the output curves of linear and nonlinear circuits with the help of the circuit simulation tools like Multisim, Matlab, and PSpice.
