When the voltage across the ends of a piece of wire is doubled what effect does this have on the current in the wire?
current doublesAnswerIt depends on whether the wire is ohmic or non-ohmic. If it is ohmic, then the current will also double. If, like tungsten, it is non-ohmic, then it depends.... because doubling the voltage will cause its resistance to increase.Ohmic materials obey Ohm's Law, whereas non-ohmic materials do not.
Why is the graph of the non-ohmic conductor is curved in nature?
Ohmic (or 'linear') materials obey Ohm's Law. That is, their ratio of voltage to current remains constant for variations in voltage. Ohmic materials, therefore, produce a straight line graph when we plot current against variations in voltage;Non-ohmic (or 'non-linear') materials do not obey Ohm's Law. That is, their ratio of voltage to current variesfor variations in voltage. This means that non-ohmic materials produce a curved line graph when we plot current against variations in voltage.
What are non ohmic devices give an example?
non ohmic devices are diodes, LED's, Thermistors, LDR(light dependent resistors, cells in series.
Is Thermistor ohmic or non-ohmic?
no.....thermistors are not ohmic.
What are the problems with Ohm's law?
The main problem is that, despite its name, it is not really a 'law'! It applies to very few materials (called 'ohmic' or 'linear' materials). The vast majority of materials (called 'non-ohmic' or 'non-linear') simply do not obey Ohm's 'Law'!
Differentiate between ohmic and non ohmic substances?
which law follow non ohmic substances
What are ohmic and non - ohmic conductors?
ohmic conductor does obey ohm 's law. non ohmic conductor does not obey ohm's law.
What is the difference between an ohmic resistor and a non-ohmic resistor?
A non-ohmic resistor doesn't have a constant resistance. A ohmic resistor has a constant resistance.
How do the types of conductors which do not obey Ohms law have an application in circuit design?
Ohm's Law is by no means universal -it doesn'tapply to all materials. In fact, it doesn't apply to most materials or electrical devices! For Ohm's Law to apply, the ratio of voltage to current must remain constant for variations in voltages This is only true for 'ohmic' or 'linear' materials; those materials that do not obey Ohm's Law are called 'non-ohmic' or 'non-linear'.However, being 'non-ohmic' doesn't mean that there are noapplications for these materials! For example, a tungsten lamp filament is 'non-ohmic', but is obviously very widely used. Numerous other non-ohmic materials and devices are also widely-used, including diodes, vacuum tubes, etc.Some materials are 'non-ohmic' over for a particular range of voltage differences, then become 'ohmic' after the voltage reaches a particular value (e.g. a vacuum diode).Remember, though, that the ratio of voltage to current will always indicate the resistance for that particular combination of voltage and current, whether a material or device obeys Ohm's Law or not.Despite what most electricians think, the equation R = V/R is derived from the definition of the ohm, and has nothing whatsoever to do with Ohm's Law!
Is vacuum tube ohmic or non-ohmic and why?
Vacuum tubes are non-ohmic devices because their resistance changes with voltage and current. This non-linearity in resistance is due to the nature of the electron flow within the vacuum tube, causing it to exhibit non-ohmic behavior.
Why are ohmic materials useful?
because ohmic materials such as resistors can be placed in ur bedroom for safe sex
What is the example of a non ohmic material?
A common example of a non-ohmic material is a light bulb filament. As the temperature of the filament increases, the resistance also increases, meaning it does not follow Ohm's Law (V = IR) consistently. This non-linearity is due to the change in resistance with temperature.
