Various types of electrical networks

Electrical network:
-          Interconnection of electrical circuit elements
-          Examples of electrical circuit elements are resistors, inductors, capacitors etc.

Linear electrical network:
-          Circuit containing all linear electrical elements
-          A linear element is element which is having linear relationship between voltage applied and current flowing through it.
-          Example for linear element is resistor.

Bilateral electrical network:
-          A circuit whose characteristics are irrespective of the direction of current.
-          Electrical network consisting of only resistors is an example for the bilateral electrical network.

Unilateral electrical network:
-          A circuit whose characteristics are dependent upon the direction of operation.
-          Electrical network consisting of diodes is an example for the unilateral electrical network.

Active network:
-          Network contains an active source along with all other network elements.

Passive network:
-          Network contains only passive elements and not the active source.

-          Mostly passive networks are used as loads.
