Question

Give 5 differences between ohmic and non-ohmic conductors.


Open in App
Solution

The five differences between ohmic and non-ohmic conductors are:

Ohmic conductors

Non-ohmic conductors

1. Ohmic conductors are the type of conductors that work on the principle of ohm’s law.1.Non-ohmic conductors are conductors that do not follow ohm’s law.
2. For a varying current and voltage, the resistance of the ohmic-conductors remains constant. 2. The resistance of the non ohmic conductor varies on changing current, voltage, and temperature.
3. The relationship between current and voltage is linear.3. The relationship between current and voltage is not linear.
4. Examples of ohmic conductors are metals and resistors.4. Examples of non-ohmic conductors are diodes and semiconductors.
5. For ohmic conductors the resistance always remains constant.5. For non-ohmic conductors the resistance increases with an increase in temperature.
