Question

Which of the following are ohmic materials? a. Batteries Wires Resistors Light bulb filaments b. Batteries, wires, resistors, and light bulb filaments c. Wires and resistors Batteries and wires d. Batteries, wires, resistors, light bulb filaments, and semiconductors

Answer 1

Answer:

A., B., and C.

Explanation:

An Ohmic material is a material that obeys Ohm's Law, V = IR.

In contrast, a non-Ohmic material is one that does not obey Ohm's law.

Ohm's law states that the voltage across an electrical object is proportional to the current flowing through it, with the constant of proportionality being Resistance, R (in Ohm's).

The only Non-Ohmic material is the semiconductor, as semiconductors do not obey Ohm's law.
