By definition it can't. An ideal resistor is a linear relation between the voltage across it and the current through it.
If you are allowed switches in the network and the input is a fixed voltage then things get interesting.
- klyrs 2y agoHowever, in a real resistor, resistivity varies with temperature, and current through the resistor produces heat. Therefore, real resistors are in fact nonlinear circuit devices. Technically speaking. In reality, whenever electrical engineers are confronted with this nonlinearity, it's a bug that must be smashed and not a feature to exploit.
