What is a non-ohmic resistor ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Actually many useful components in the electrical industry and in electronics are non-ohmic in nature. Diode, transistor, light emitting diodes (LED), thermistor are all non-ohmic resistors (conductors). With out the non-ohmic resistors (conductors) there would have been no progress in electrons.
