Paul Tipler said:Ohm's law is not a fundamental law of nature, like Newton's laws or the laws of thermodynamics, but rather an empirical description of a property shared by many materials
This sounds wrong to me - Ohm's laws don't apply to all materials, but Newton's laws don't apply at all speeds; what makes one more "fundamental" than the other? Is it just that it took longer for people to find exceptions?
