Newton Raphson Method

Non Linear Circuits

• “linear” literally means “along with a straight
line”.
• a circuit whose parameters are not changed
with respect to Current and Voltage is called
Linear Circuit.
parameters are varied with respect to Current and Voltage.
 Solving Linear and Nonlinear Circuits
• Solving of a nonlinear circuit is a little bit complex then
linear circuits.
• Linear circuit can be solved with simple techniques and
scientific calculator.
• While solving Non linear circuits, a lot of data and
information is required.
• But nowadays, due to aggressive technological changes and
Modernization, we can simulate and analyze, with output
curves both linear and non linear circuits very easily with
the help of circuit simulation tools like PSpice , MATLAB,
Multisim etc.
 Newton-Raphson-method
• fault analysis, relays coordination, security,
contingency, etc.
• Solve Non linear circuits
• method for solving simultaneous nonlinear
algebraic equations
• it's an iterative process that can approximate
solutions to an equation with incredible
accuracy.
method to approximate numerical solutions
(i.e., x-intercepts, zeros, or roots) to
equations that are too hard for us to solve
by hand.
• produces successively better approximations
 to the roots (or zeroes) of a real-valued 
function
