Is Ohm's law universally applicable for ...

Is Ohm's law universally applicable for all conducting elements ? If not, give examples of elements which do not obey Ohm's law.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No, Ohms law is not universal.
hose circuit elements which do not obey Ohm.s law are known as non-ohmic elements. For example, discharge tube, semiconductor diode, electrolyte etc.
