What is the difference between ohmic conductor and non-ohmic conductor? Give
one example each and draw their IV characteristic curves.
Ohmic vs Non-Ohmic Conductors
Ohm’s law, discovered and named after Georg Ohm, states the relationship between voltage, current and resistance of a conductor. This is important in designing electrical and electronic circuits in order ensure that the voltages and currents in the components stay within specs. Just about any component that is capable of carrying a current is considered to be a conductor, it’s just a matter of whether the conductor is Ohmic or not. The main difference between an Ohmic and a non-Ohmic conductor is whether they follow Ohm’s law. An Ohmic conductor would have a linear relationship between the current and the voltage. With non-Ohmic conductors, the relationship is not linear.
A good example of an Ohmic conductor is the resistor. The voltage
