Ohms law is a law; all conductors must obey it. A simple form of ohm's law is V = I / R. The only control a conductor has on this equation is in the 'R'. Super conductors, for example, have a resistance that approaches zero at certain termperatures. This does not mean that they break the law, though.

Answer

Ohm's Law describes a linear relationship between the potential difference across a conductor; it has nothing to do with the relationship between potential difference, current, and resistance.

The equation R = E/I is derived from the definition of the ohm, and not from Ohm's Law. This equation applies whether Ohm's Law is obeyed or not.

In fact, relatively few conductors obey Ohm's Law. Those that do are termed 'ohmic' or 'linear' conductors; those that don't are termed 'non-ohmic' or 'non-linear'.

Simply put, if the graph representing current plotted against a varying potential difference is not linear, then it ain't obeying Ohm's Law!

What are ohmic and non - ohmic conductors?

What is the necessary condition for a conductor to obey ohm's law?

No. In fact, most conductors don't obey Ohm's Law.For Ohm's Law to apply, the ratio of voltage to current must remain constant for variations in voltage. For many conductors this simply doesn't happen and, for that reason, we call such conductors 'non-linear' or 'non-ohmic'.


How do conductors obey the Ohm's law?

Very few conductors obey Ohm's Law, and its the rise in temperature of the conductor when current flows though it that prevents it from obeying Ohm's Law. Some alloys, such as constantan, obey Ohm's Law over a limited range because, over that range, changes in temperature don't affect their resistance. It's really time that we stopped teaching Ohm's Law, as it is not universal, and applies to very few conductors and hardly any electronic components!

Why is a thermistor a non ohmic conductor?

Ohm's law states that the current and potential difference (voltage) are directly proportional, provided the temperature is constant. The resistance of a thermistor is dependant on the temperature, so it does not obey Ohm's law. Components that do not obey Ohm's law are non-ohmic conductors.


Do you believe that it is okay to hit a child if they cry or dont obey?

No I don't. If they do not obey there are other ways to punish.


What is an example of a circuit that doesnt obey Ohms Law?

The easiest circuit that does not obey Ohm's law is a circuit that has a resistance that depends on temperature. For example, if you take a light bulb and draw a current-vs-voltage, you see that in the beginning (under low voltage) the graph is NOT a straight line, but under high voltage the graph is linear. This is because the resistance depends on temperature. the equation V=IR isn't consistent with the graph's shape.


In a series circuit each device that is added to the circuit decreases the what?

Depends on the device. If it is a resistor and you have a fixed voltage then the circuit will obey Ohms law. Voltage = Current x Resistance. So if R increases by adding more resistors in series and the voltage is constant, the current will decrease.

Is the verb obey to or just obey?

The verb is merely, obey. I obey, you obey, he, she, it obeys. One may be obedient to someone, but one does not "obey to" someone.
