Abstract

The non-linearity of a number of small cracked-carbon resistors has been investigated at both audio and radio frequencies. In the case of one resistor, non-linearity coefficients of order higher than the third were measured; their effect is considered for various levels of the input signals. The degree of non-linearity encountered would be negligible for most purposes.
