Another class of linear models uses ideal, linear, lumped-parameter circuit elements (ideal resistors, capacitors, inductors, and dependent sources) to characterize active devices in terms of ...

Linear does not mean no distortion From Fig. 2, it seems intuitive that a linear function won't produce distortion, but a nonlinear function will. It is tempting to conclude that linear circuits are ...

Such nonlinear and charge-storage elements must be reduced to simplified equivalent circuits before being entered in the system equations. These simplifications are required because the matrices ...

At the nanoscale, the conductance of a coherent conductor is reduced by the back-action of the circuit in which it is inserted. The effect has been primarily studied for cases where it is small ...

Up until today, the circuit element had only been described in a series of mathematical equations written by Leon Chua, who in 1971 was an engineering student studying non-linear circuits.

Non-linear circuit elements include fixed resistors that become hot, and filament bulbs which become hot and glow. The shape of the I-V graph changes as temperature of the component increases.
