Electrical Circuits

A circuit or network whose parameters [elements like resistors, inductors and capacitors] are always constant irrespective of the change in time, voltage, temperature etc is known as linear network.

TYPES OF ELECTRICAL NETWORKS

Linear and Non-Linear network:

A circuit or network whose parameters [elements like resistors, inductors and capacitors] are always constant irrespective of the change in time, voltage, temperature etc is known as linear network.

A circuit whose parameters change their values with change in time, temperature, voltage etc is known as non linear network.

Unilateral and bilateral network:

A circuit whose operation, behaviour is dependent on the direction of the current through various elements is called unilateral network. (ex) Half wave diode rectifier.

A circuit whose characteristics, behaviour is same irrespective of the direction of current through various elements of the circuit is called bilateral network (ex) network consisting only resistors.

Active and passive network:

A circuit which contains a source of energy is called active network (ex) voltage and current sources.

A circuit which contains no energy source is called passive network (ex) network contains resistors, inductors and capacitors.

Lumped and distributed network:

A network in which all the network elements are physically separable is known as lumped network. Most of the electrical networks are lumped network.

A network in which the circuit elements like resistance, inductance etc cannot be physically separable is known as distributed network (ex) A transmission line where resistance, inductance and capacitance are distributed all along its length.
