General Relations among Voltages and Currents in Nonlinear Elements. I

Abstract

In nonlinear capacitors, inductors and resistors, general equations holding among the voltages and currents at different frequencies are derived. These are obtained only on the assumption that the characteristics for the nonlinear elements are single-valued. The well-known Manley-Rowe relation is the lowest order and simplest ones among these equations. But, even then, the relations are more extensive, in the sense that the number of the voltage generators may be arbitrary.
