What are Linear Circuit Elements ?
In power electronics, Linear circuit elements refer to the components in an electrical circuit that exhibit a linear relationship between the current input and the voltage output.
An element is said to be linear, where V-I characteristics follow only one equation of the straight line passing through the origin all the time. Linear elements are those whose characteristics are straight lines passing through the origin. Linear Circuit Elements do not require any external power supply to operate in the electrical circuit. Linear Circuit Elements receive the electrical energy and either convert it or store it in the form of a magnetic field or electric field. Linear circuit elements are important because they can amplify and process electronic signals without distortion.
In linear circuits, these linear elements is also known as electrical elements in the electric circuit and there will be a linear relationship between the voltage and current. The main examples of the linear circuit elements in power electronics are resistors, capacitors ,inductors, transformers, etc.
Linear Circuit Elements
In Power Electronics, Linear circuit elements are those elements that are not changed with respect to the voltage and current. Elements that follow ohm’s law are called linear circuit elements. Linear circuit elements mainly resist, store, or control the flow of electric current or voltage in a circuit without actively amplifying or generating signals.
Linear Circuit Elements can be used to connect together within the circuit in a series combination or parallel combination to control the current flow in complex circuits. In this article, we will learn about the role of Linear Circuit Elements in power electronics, their properties, working, advantages, disadvantages, and applications of linear circuit elements in power electronics.
