Which of the following is not an example of a linear element?(a) Resistor(b) Thermistor(c) Inductor(d) CapacitorI had been asked this question at a job interview.My question comes from Sources and Some Definitions in chapter Circuit Elements and Kirchhoff’s Laws of Network Theory

Answer»

The correct option is (b) Thermistor

The explanation: If the resistance, inductance or capacitance OFFERED by an ELEMENT does not change linearly with the change in applied voltage or circuit current, the element is termed as a linear element. Resistor, Inductor and Capacitor are examples of linear ELEMENTS. Thermistor is an EXAMPLE of Non-Linear element.
