Diode is a non-ohmic conductor since in diodes current-voltage relation ship does't obey Ohm's law....the relationship between current and voltage is nonlinear here,...

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 an ohmic conductor?

What are Ohmic and Non - Ohmic conductor?

ohmic ocnductor is a material which obeys ohm's law: i.e. the voltage and current are directly proportional 2 each other anda non-ohmic ocnductor is a material which doesn't obey ohm's law:)


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.


Is copper an ohmic conductor?

Yes of course all transition metals are ohmic conductors. (voltage proportional to current at constant temperature with resistance rising or gradient of V-I graph decreasing at higher temperatures) Believe me I've just done physics A.S.


Is LDR an ohmic conductor?

A Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) is not considered an ohmic conductor. Ohmic conductors follow Ohm's Law, where the current through the material is directly proportional to the voltage across it, resulting in a constant resistance. In contrast, the resistance of an LDR changes with varying light intensity, leading to a non-linear relationship between voltage and current. Thus, its behavior does not conform to ohmic characteristics.


Why is a filiament lamp a non ohmic conductor?

A filament lamp is a non-ohmic conductor because its resistance changes with applied voltage. As the voltage increases, the resistance also increases. This is due to the temperature-dependent behavior of the filament material, which causes the resistance to vary.


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.

What is the definition of an ohmic conductor?

An ohmic resistor is a resistor that obeys Ohm's law, and a non-ohmic one dose not. All resistors resistance will begin to change as there temperature changes, and often we need a resistor with a steady resistance, thus some resistors, which we refer to as ohmic, will disperse the heat being generated and therefore it will keep a steady resistance. Resistors that do not disperse their heat will have varying resistances and therefore are non ohmic. Ohms law, named after the German physicist Georg Ohm, states that the current through a conductor, between two points, is directly proportional to the potential difference (voltage) across the two points, and inversely proportional to the resistance between them. ~Ben Frilay-Cox


If you decrease resistance the current will increase or decrease?

It depends on whether the material is ohmic or non-ohmic.If it is ohmic, then it will obey Ohm's Law, and its resistance will remain constant if the current decreases.If, on the other hand, it is non-ohmic, it will not obey Ohm's Law and, if the temperature of the conductor falls (assuming it is a metallic conductor) due to the fall in current, then its resistance will fall too.
