Linear network

the network whoes parameter does not change due change in 
current or vtg. eg. resistance,inductance,capacitance.
Bilateral network 
the ckt whoes chara. does not change due change of 
direction of vtg. & current. e.g. transsmisson line

LINEAR NETWORK: 1) A network if the relation between current and voltage involves a constant coefficient
e.g V=IR or network response is proportional to excitation function.
2)A linear n/w is the one in which the principle of superposition(linearty test) holds.

BILATERAL N/W: When element properties & characteristics are independent of direction of the current then
the n/w is called as bilateral n/w
