A transistor can function in both linear and non-linear modes. In the linear mode, it can amplify small signals with a linear relationship between input and output. In the non-linear mode, the transistor operates as a switch, turning on or off based on the input signal.
It means if you plot the function it is not on a straight line For example y = 3x + 4 is linear function y = x squared is non linear
I have no idea. However, in theory there is a difference.
A: THE WORD IS LINEAR. yes it is not a very linear device as a function of current
A linear function, of a variable x, is of the form ax+b where a and b are constants. A non-linear function will have x appearing in some other form: raised to a power other than 1, or in a trigonometric, or exponential or other form.
x = constant.
Linear function
If you mean y = 5x-3 then it is the linear equation of a straight line
which obey ohms law ANSWER: Not all potentiometers are linear some are made to follow a logarithm function some follows an exponential function. A linear potentiometer will have a linear curve. Materials that obey Ohm's Law are called 'linear' or 'ohmic'; those that don't are called 'non-ohmic' or 'non-linear'.
If you mean y = 4x+2 then it is the linear equation of a straight line
It is a non-linear function of theta.
A linear or non linear function is a function that either creates a straight line or a crooked line when graphed. These functions are usually represented on a table under the headings x and y.
