You can measure things with a linear scale. Practically impossible with a non-linear scale.
To check the milliamp scale on a meter, you can use a known current source or a precision resistor in a circuit to generate a specific current. Connect the meter in series with the circuit, ensuring it is set to the milliamp range. Compare the displayed reading on the meter with the expected value based on the current source or calculated using Ohm’s Law. If there’s a discrepancy, the meter may need to be calibrated.
Linear is a straight line and non linear could be a curve or anything but a straight line
A linear scale is a scale with equal divisions for equal vales, for example a ruler. A non linear scale is where the relationship between the variables is not directly proportional.
To convert a ratio scale to a linear scale, you can apply a linear transformation, typically using the formula ( y = ax + b ), where ( x ) is the value on the ratio scale, ( a ) is the scaling factor, and ( b ) is the offset. This transformation retains the proportional relationships inherent in the ratio scale while adjusting the values to fit the desired linear scale. Ensure that the chosen ( a ) and ( b ) values reflect the specific requirements of the linear scale you want to achieve.
Linear Scale
The method used to determine the measured mass of an object accurately is by using a calibrated scale or balance. The object is placed on the scale, and the reading displayed on the scale is the measured mass of the object.
V = I*R R = V/I If we fix the voltage at 1 then R = I^-1 The change in the resistance scale is the derivative R dr = I^-1 di R dr = -I^-2 R dr = -1/(I^2) Explanation: The change in the resistance measurement decreases by the inverse of the current squared.
To measure 100 mg of powder accurately, you can use a precision scale designed for small quantities, such as a milligram scale. First, ensure the scale is calibrated and tared (zeroed) with a clean weighing dish or paper. Then, gradually add the powder until the scale reads 100 mg. If you don't have a scale, you might use a calibrated spoon or scoop, but this method is less accurate.
You can measure things with a linear scale. Practically impossible with a non-linear scale.
The difference between a linear meter (LM) and a meter (M) is the same except for the geometrical shape it follows. Linear meter always follow an extended line or a straight line for a given object where as a meter is a more general form or unit of measurement irrespective of a shape (Line, arc or circle). For example: think of an wooden or metal scale of 1 M length which measures only length of an object in straight line where as a 1M flexible tape can be used along a line or for a curvature or for a sharp bend of an object. Both measures length both at times correct interchangeably.
Scales that aren't calibrated are unreliable.

Which frequency? Frequency in Hertz can be accepted as linear frequency. What is non linear is usually the method of "presenting" it, like a non linear logarithmic scale. Also there is the matter of angular frequency defined as w = 2*π*f, where f is linear frequency (Hz or s^-1).
Strictly, it's measuring weight, but most are calibrated to give mass.
To convert a direct statement scale to a linear scale, assign numerical values to the categories or statements on the direct statement scale. Then, plot these values on a linear scale, ensuring that the spacing between values is consistent to create a linear relationship between the categories or statements.
