Answer 1

The correct option is (b) Thermistor The explanation: If the resistance, inductance or capacitance offered by an element does not change linearly with the change in applied voltage or circuit current, the element is termed as a linear element. Resistor, Inductor and Capacitor are examples of linear elements. Thermistor is an example of Non-Linear element.
