Is capacitor a linear device?
When you double the voltage on a resistor, the current doubles. We say a resistor is a linear device. Capacitors and inductors are linear, too. Is a capacitor linear or bilateral? A capacitor is generally a linear and bilateral component. 1. Linear and Non-linear Element: An element is said to be Linear if its V-I characteristics follow only one equation of the straight line or Ohm's law and pass through the origin.
