It is a linear device if it is not a wire wound resistor. These become non linear to AC at high frequencies because of their inherent inductance.
a resistor
A passive device is a diode resistor coil and so forth it perform no enhancement to the circuit or act on it.
A load line is used in graphical analysis of nonlinear electronic circuits, representing the constraint other parts of the circuit place on a non-linear device, like a diode or transistor. It is usually drawn on a graph of the current vs the voltage in the nonlinear device, called the device's characteristic curve. A load line, usually a straight line, represents the response of a linear circuit connected to the nonlinear device in question. The operating point(s) of the circuit are the points where the characteristic curve and the load line intersect; at these points the current and voltage parameters of both parts of the circuit match
A device which operates(or function) only in one direction is called unidirectional (or unipolar) device
In its simplest use a resistor in a circuit is used to limit the amount of current flow, or to decrease the amount of voltage applied to a device. One example is you had a 12 volt battery and you need/ wanted to connect it to a device that ran on 9 volts then a resistor can be chosen to reduce the 12 volts to the 9 volts required.
diode is nonlinear device,so device from diode is also nonlinear
Very nonlinear. If you need operation approximatinglinearity, a transistor must be limited to a very narrow range of operation.
nonlinear device modulation is a process which imparts to sinusoidal two or more amplitude levels.
nonlinear narrative
Inductor is a nonlinear device. since v=L di/dt.
A resistor
RESISTOR
the device is a resistor
Because Thevenin does not work for a nonlinear network, e.g. a battery in series with a diode and resistor.
resistor
A varistor is a variable resistor. It changes value dependent on the current draw and operates by changing its value as the resistor's temperature changes. For instance, during turn-on of a device, the resistor heats up causing the resistor to change it's value, thereby limiting the inrush current to the device. Once the initial start-up current is reduced and the device is operating normally, the resistor cools down and changes value again.
In electronics, bidirectional device is device which can be used by both directions like resistor. It does not effect on characteristics of device if we change the terminals of that device.
