Non- linear Resistors

 

There are many types of resistors according to the type of material used, the manufacturing procedure and their applications. The classification is as shown below.

Description: Types of Resistors

Linear resistors have linear VI characteristics and non-linear resistors has non-linear VI characteristics. Non-linear resistors are the resistors whose voltage and current characteristics vary non-linearly. The voltage and current values vary depending upon other factors like temperature and light, but they may not be linear.
