Question

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A) : Superposition theorem is applicable only to linear circuits. Reason (R) : The response in non-linear circuits is not directly proportional to excitation. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

• A. Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
• B. Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
• C. (A) is correct but (R) is not correct
• D. (A) is not correct but (R) is correct

Hint:

Superposition theorem is valid only for linear circuits because: \[ \text{Response} \propto \text{Input} \] Nonlinear circuits do not satisfy additivity and proportionality.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A
