1.6 Investigate: Non-Linear and Negative Resistance Component

1.16 Describe the difference between regular (ohmic) resistors and non-linear/negative
components. How would the presence of a non-linear or negative component change how you
might analyze a circuit?

- In simplest form the regular (ohmic) resistors are the resistors which obey the rule of
Ohm’s Law while the non-linear or negative components are those resistors that didn’t
follow the rule of Ohm's Law. Also non-linear components are an electrical element
that’s not have any linear relationship between the current and voltage, but, in linear

resistors they provide the same resistance all the time it exhibits a linear relationship
between the current input and voltage output and most of the resistors are linear.

Some examples of Linear are: Resistors, Capacitors, and Inductors.

Nonlinear are: Diodes, Transistors and Transformers when the core is saturated.
- The presence of non-linear components can affect the increase of current because if the
resistance is negative the voltage will not be directly proportional to current so the result
will be the voltage will increase then the current will decrease. It means that even the
smallest changes in the circuit’s output will affect the whole output.

1.7 Conclusion

1-17 In your own words, describe Ohm's law. Give two instances from the real world or from
your educational career in which it would be used.

- Ohm’s law is the law that states the relationship between the current and resistance and it
arrives with an equation that shows the relationship. Ohm’s law can be used to determine
the voltage in the electronic components. It’s also important to our career as an
Engineering student because it describes how the resistance, current and voltage are
related to each other in a circuit and can be applied to our future studies.

1-18 What is the current of the circuit?

- Current is the electric charge that comes from the circuit and spreads through wires. It
measures the flow rate of a charge and generates a magnetic field. It gives a power supply
to a circuit so that it will work. It generates an electrical pressure or the voltage.

A. Volts B. 5 Amps C. 5 Amps D. 2 Amps

Solution:

𝑉 1𝑉
𝐼= = = 2 𝑎𝑚𝑝𝑠 So, the answer is letter D which is 2 amperes.

1-19 The watt (W) is the unit for electrical power, where P = I x V. Express the watt in terms
of ohms (Ω), amperes (A), and/or volts (V):

A. W = V2 x Ω B. W = A2 x Ω C. W = A x V x Ω D. W = Ω / A x V
