text: (The critical voltage is roughly proportional to the bandgap energy of the material and also depends somewhat on the device temperature.)
text: This is because the current has to instantly go to zero (there is no longer a path for it), and the voltage across the inductor is proportional to the rate of change of current, v L = L(di / dt).
text: they can be linear circuit elements; if operation is confined to the straight segment of the curve near the origin the voltage is proportional to the current, so they do not cause harmonic distortion.
