the resistant in ohmic devices is constant because it depend on temperature ..and temperature is constant independent of polarity of potential difference...btin non ohmic the tempt increase with voltage which increase due to the heat increase beacue of power dispition....collision of electrons increases find more resistenc for passing so resistence increases

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.


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.


What are non ohmic devices give an example?

non ohmic devices are diodes, LED's, Thermistors, LDR(light dependent resistors, cells in series.


What is non ohmic material?

A 'non-ohmic' conductor is one that does not obey Ohm's Law -i.e. the ratio of voltage to current is not constant when the voltage across it varies.


What is the difference between ohmic and non ohmic elements?

An 'ohmic' resistor is one which obeys Ohm's Law. For Ohm's Law to apply, the resistance of a circuit must be constant over the range of incremental voltages applied to it. If the resistance changes over an incremental range of voltages, then it is said to be 'non-ohmic', and it does not obey Ohm's Law.


Is Thermistor ohmic or non-ohmic?

What observation about the current in a metal conductor was the basis for Ohm's law?

For Ohm's Law to apply to a conductor, the ratio of voltage to current must remain constant for changes in voltage.If the ratio changes when the applied voltage changes, then Ohm's Law does not apply.It's as simple as that!Conductors or devices to which Ohm's Law applies are termed 'linear' or 'ohmic'; those to which Ohm's Law does not apply are termed 'non-linear' or 'non-ohmic'. There are far more non-linear devices than linear devices, from which we can conclude that Ohm's Law is not an universal law.


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.

Is the 10 ohm resistor ohmic or non-ohmic?

If it has constant temperature (one can do this by dipping it in a beaker of water) it can be considered an ohmic conductor since Ohm's law states that the Voltage and amperage are directly proportional in a metallic conductor of constant temperature.
