Ans:
when two quantities depend on each other (like speed and distance), then when an amount increase in one quantity causes a corresponding amount increase or decrease in the other quantity that is the same regardless of the value at which the measurement was taken, then that's linear.
Sounds a big horrible.
OK, if you drew a graph of one quantity against another, it would form a straight line, and we say it increases or decreases (depending on whether the graph is increasing or decreasing) linearly. it means in creases with a power of 1, with a common ratio for increasing values of x.
OK, what if it was y= ax^2? This is not linear, because it increases with a power of 2.
A linear line takes the form y = mx +c
where m is the ratio and c determines the point the graph cuts the x=0 line.
Nonlinear do not satisfy the superposition principle. Linear problems, as implied, do.
linear system is like a chemistry equation or math equation where on both sides it must balance. Nonlinear is a math equation or physics that does not appear to have a direct answer just like chaos theory. lulu254ever
2.54 centimetres = 1 inch and tat is linear. There is no non-linear inch.
In linear dynamic systems, the motion traces out an orbit or trajectory in phase space that's a looping curve, mathematically predictable. In nonlinear systems the trajectory in phase space may be a fractal structure, leading to motion that is inherently unpredictable (chaos) from its equations of motion.

distinguish between linear and non linear demands funcions
Nonlinear do not satisfy the superposition principle. Linear problems, as implied, do.
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.
Linear system follows principal of superposition and homogeneity and Non linear system does not follow the same.

They are both types of motion.

A nonlinear relationship is one that cannot be expressed using a line. y=3x is a linear relationship between x and y. y = log(x) is nonlinear.

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.
No, superposition theorem can only be applied to linear circuits. Nonlinear circuits do not obey the principle of superposition because the relationship between current and voltage is not linear.
