Question

Are capacitors and inductors linear?

Answer 1

1. Yes, capacitors and inductors are linear.
2. A component is said to be linear if the current is directly proportional to the voltage over its entire working range.
3. The reactance of the capacitor and inductor is fixed for a given frequency.
4. If the voltage is increased, the current flowing through the circuit also increases.
5. The voltage and current are directly proportional to each other.
6. Hence, both are linear.
