Ohm's law is applicable to any circuit, be it DC or be it AC.

Answer

Ohm's Law is applicable to all linear or ohmiccircuits, regardless of whether they are d.c. or a.c. A linear or ohmic circuit is one in which the ratio of voltage to current is constant for variations in voltage. Ohm's Law does not apply to non-linear or non-ohmic circuits (e.g. tungsten, electronic devices such as diodes, and electrolytes).

Ohm's Law isn't a universal law. It only applies to linear or 'ohmic' conductors and electrical devices. There are very few linear conductors/devices.If the ratio of voltage to current is a constant for variations in voltage, then Ohm's Law applies.

If the ratio of voltage to current changes for variations in voltage, then Ohm's Law doesn't apply.

Yes, it holds. Some circuit elements may be treated differently though - A capacitor is modelled as 1/(j*w*c), and an inductor is modeled as j*w*L.

The Ohm'a Law is applied both for dc and ac, but it is more used on AC circuits since the dc circuits are used only on special situations.

Is ohms law is applicable for transmission line?

Ohm's Law is applicable for transmission lines. It is applicable for every case of every circuit in every situation. That's what makes it a law.The "complexity" is that 1.) resistance is not constant, it being a function of temperature and other factors, and 2.) for AC circuits, impedance makes the calculation complex.AnswerOhm's Law is not a universal law, and applies in very few cases and, then, only to linear or ohmic devices. It certainly doesn't apply 'to every case, of every circuit, in every situation', and many physicists believe that it should not be classified as a 'law'.If, on the other hand, you are referring to the equation, R = V/R (for d.c.) or R = V/Z (for a.c.) then, yes, these do apply to transmission lines. But you should be aware that these equations are not derived from Ohm's Law!
