Can we apply Kirchhoff's laws in the circuit having non - ohmic conductors ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Both the laws of kirchhoff are applicable to circuits having non-ohmic conductors. But in that case, for the determination of current or potential difference when we apply the relation V= IR, we should remember that the value of R is not constant. In each case we shall have to know the correct relation between V and I and then with the help of kirchhoff's laws the analysis of the circuit is possible.
