4.2 Linearity
Property (1)
It is the
property of an element describing a linear relationship between cause and
effect.
A linear
circuit is one whose output is linearly related (or directly proportional) to its
input.
Homogeneity (scaling) property
v = i R → k v = k i R
Additive property
v1 = i1 R and v2 = i2 R
→ v = (i1 + i2) R = v1 + v2
