Linear Circuits [hlp]

[elec350]

hello
Linear ciruicts are defined to satisfy two fundamental conditions:
1) Proportionality
2) Superposition

Is there any circuit or function to satisfy only one of above conditions?

 

[LvW]

I think, the primary condition is proportionality - and the rules of superposition are derived from this primary condition. Or with other words: There is only one condition which can be formulated in two different forms.

Hello LvW
What's your meaning? Do you say that there isn't any function that satisfy only one of two conditions?

 

[LvW]

There is only one condition. Both expressions mean the same thing - just with other words ! (Superposition ability is a consequence of proportionality).
