A nonlinear component is one in which the current is not proportional to the voltage, in other words it does not follow Ohm's law.
The commonest nonlinear component is a diode.
A nonlinear circuit is one with a nonlinear component in it.

Can Norton's theorem be applied to network which contains non linear resistance?
yesAnswerNo it cannot, any more than Ohm's Law can be applied to circuits with non-linear elements.
Is the superposition theorem applicable to non linear network why?
Yes, superposition theorem holds true in AC circuits as well. You must first convert an AC circuit to the phasor domain and the same rules apply.
What is Ohm's law in a direct circuit?
Ohm's Law is a law of constant proportionality, and only applies to circuits in which the ratio of voltage to current is a constant over variations in applied voltage. Such circuits are called linear or ohmic circuits, and include most metals. However, in the case of metals such as tungsten, for electronic devices such as diodes, and for electrolytes, Ohm's Law does NOT apply, and we call such circuits 'non-linear' or 'non-ohmic'. For linear circuits, Ohm's Law simply states that the current flowing through that circuit is directly proportional to the voltage applied across its ends. The equation R = V/I is not, as many think, derived from Ohm's Law, but from the definition of the ohm.
What are Types of electrical circuits that use ohm's law?
the types of circuits use in ohm's law are:serise circuitparallel circuitserise parallel circuitAnswerCircuits that obey Ohm's Law are called 'linear' or 'ohmic', and are mainly (but now always) confined to metal conductors, providing their temperature is constant. Those that do not (the majority) obey Ohm's Law are called 'non-linear' or 'non-ohmic', and include most metals (e.g. tungsten), electrolytes, gases, and electronic components such as diodes, vacuum tubes, etc.
Why a transistor is a non linear devices?
A: THE WORD IS LINEAR. yes it is not a very linear device as a function of current
What is linear wave shaping?
the process of producing non sinusoidal output waves from sinusoidal input is cald non linear wave shaping.. the circuits of this sort are called non linear wave shaping circuits.. they are of two types.. clippers and clampers
Can Norton's theorem be applied to network which contains non linear resistance?
yesAnswerNo it cannot, any more than Ohm's Law can be applied to circuits with non-linear elements.
What are all the applications of linear integrated circuits?
used as wave form generators like sinusoidal and non sinusoidal,
Is the superposition theorem applicable to non linear network why?
Yes, superposition theorem holds true in AC circuits as well. You must first convert an AC circuit to the phasor domain and the same rules apply.

Does Kirchhoff law applicable to linear circuits?
Yes, Kirchhoff law is applicable to linear circuits. In fact, both of Kirchhoff'slaws are applicable to ALL circuits, because they're just conservation laws.
Is inductor linear or non linear?
non linear
Does Linear Technology Corporation produce circuits?
"After searching their website, it does not appear that Linear Technology produces circuits. Their products include digital converters and transceivers."
What is the significance of dc load line in a transistor?
A load line is used in graphic analysis of circuits, having both linear and non-linear parts, representing the constraint the other parts of the circuit put on the non-linear transistor. It represents the response of the linear circuit connected to the transistor. The DC load line describes the DC operation of a transistor graphically.
Is planning linear or nonlinear?

What are linear and non linear text?
Linear means in order Non-Linear means Organic
Is a circle non-linear?
No, but it is non-linear.
