Note [Deprecated. The linear element defines the value of a param element at a particular time, relative to the start of the transition or effect that contains the param element. The linear element causes the parameter to make a smooth transition from its previous value to the new value. For an instantaneous jump to a new value, use the at element. Attributes.
In an electric circuit, a nonlinear element or nonlinear device is an electrical element which does not have a linear relationship between current and voltage. A diode is a simple example. I = I 0 e V / V T {\displaystyle I=I_{0}e^{V/V_{T}}}.
