If you consider it ON/OFF then no. It has other less-common purposes that are linear.
What else can I help you with?
Is zener diode a linear device?
Zener diode is not a linear device... it is non-linear one. Since linear devices are those devices which have linear characteristics(V-I CHAR.), or follows the Ohm's law i.e. voltage is directly proportional to current. but in case of Zener diode ohm's law fails down. the V-I char. in both forward biased & reverse biased condition is non-linear. So. Zener diode is non-linear device
Is rectifier a non linear device?
diode is nonlinear device,so device from diode is also nonlinear
What a few example of non linear resistance?
Two examples of non linear resistance is a diode and a light bulb.
Is Rectifier diode linear?
If you consider it ON/OFF then no. It has other less-common purposes that are linear.
Effect of temperature on diode?
Most diode voltage stays negative and linear with temperature effects. To combat the temperature, current must remain steady within the diode, and it should not heat with that applied current.
Is Voltage-Current relationship of diode Linear or Exponential?
It closely approximates an exponential function.
Does the dynamic impedence of a zener diode vary?
A: Yes it does since the break down is not exactly very linear.
When does diode acts as resistance?
When it is forward biased and, in the case of a zener diode, when it is reverse biased as well. It just is not a linear resistance type of device, and the apparent resistance changes as a function of the applied voltage or current.
Why you mention diode is a nonlinear device and transistor is a linear device?
since the diode shows its characteristics in a non linearly it is called as nonlinear element since the transistor shows its characteristics in a linear way it s called as linear element Transistors are typically operated in their linear region (such as when used in amplifier circuits), or as switches (where you will in general ignore the nonlinearity of the transistor). Transistors are typically DC biased to operate in this linear region. Diodes are not biased in this way. Strictly speaking, both are nonlinear devices, although transistors can be used in their linear operation region, while diodes are not.
Why you use linear network in thevinins theorem?
Because Thevenin does not work for a nonlinear network, e.g. a battery in series with a diode and resistor.
What is Linear and nonlinear elements of a network?
Linear elements :In an electric circuit, a linear element is an electrical element with a linear relationship between current andvoltage. Resistors are the most common example of a linear element; other examples include capacitors,inductors, and transformers.Nonlinear Elements :A nonlinear element is one which does not have a linear input/output relation. In a diode, for example, the current is a non-linear function of the voltage.Most semiconductor devices have non-linear characteristics.
What is the definition of operating point of diode?
The current you set it to work at. Using for example resistors you can set the voltages and currents at a certain DC level. At that point the transistor will work. It is mostly (but not always) used to put the transistor in its linear region.
