One of the conditions for Ohm's Law to apply is that the temperature of a conductor MUST remain constant. And, unfortunately, this is difficult to achieve because as the applied voltage increases, the resulting current causes the temperature of the conductor to rise -thus negating Ohm's Law!!

For Ohm's Law to apply, the ratio of voltage to current must remain constant for variations in voltage. If it doesn't, then the conductor/device is NOT obeying Ohm's Law. Period! So if, for example, you increase the voltage across a lamp, you will find that the ratio varies as the voltage increases, and this is because the resistance is increasing due to an increase in temperature. So, in this example, the temperature is the reason why lamps don't obey Ohm's Law.

What is the main objection of ohm's law in measuring resistance?

Temperature. Ohms law is applicable to measure resistance of an element at constant temperature only.

Why ohms law is valid only for constant temperature and constant pressure?

Because by varying temperature ,the conductivity hence the resistivity varies so the constant varies.


What effect are there when resistance is increased in the size of the current?

Current is inversely proportional to resistance. If you double the resistance, you halve the current. Ohm's Law: Volts = Amps * Ohms Solve for Amps: Amps = Volts / Ohms


When does a thermostor obey ohm's law?

I hope you mean the thermistor. If so,well it does not obey Ohms law. When current flows through the thermistor its temperature start increasing which reduces the resistance of the thermistor. A reduction in resistance at the same supply voltage will cause the current to increase. Thus it's not obeying Ohms law.
