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.
Inductor is a nonlinear device. since v=L di/dt.
The differences between the these two is that linear scale shows the relation between the map distance and the ground distance. The nonlinear scale do not show the relation between the map distance and the ground distance.
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.
YES it is linear. It is a passive device classified as linear however as frequency increases its behavior will change.
The saying "at what current is transistor biased" means to ask the current through the transistor when there is no signal present. Typically, a transistor is biased at the center of its linear region, so as to minimize distortion. This, of course, depends on whether or not the transistor is AC or DC coupled, and where the clipping points might be.
Very nonlinear. If you need operation approximatinglinearity, a transistor must be limited to a very narrow range of operation.
In saturation region transistor acts as a non linear device i.e, there is no linear relation between input and output because in saturation region output does not change for variation in input. Whereas in other operating mode transistor acts as a linear device.
diode is nonlinear device,so device from diode is also nonlinear
Inductor is a nonlinear device. since v=L di/dt.
we will operate transistor mainly in 4 regions..namely active ,cutoff,saturation and pinch off region depending on the type of biasing. if it is under active region then transistor is a linear device.. linearity in the sense if the output is proportional to input then it is said to be linear.
A: THE WORD IS LINEAR. yes it is not a very linear device as a function of current
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
it is not a passive device .y because it is used to amplify the voltage and current .so as according to the definition of active device is the device which is used to amplify the current r voltage .hence transistor is a active device.
1n4007 is pn junction transistor. it is a non linear device
linear (A+)
linear
A transistor begin to conduct if the Vbe is ~.6v following an exponential curve therefore non very linear. by biasing it is possible to achieve a linear portion of the load lines
