    Is an Incandescent Lightbulb Truly a Non-Ohmic Device?

    Thank you sophiecantaur. I have just found something else that you wrote that is really helpful too. I will reference it here for completeness: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/difference-between-ohmic-and-non-ohmic-resistors.861778/ "Why don't people actually read Ohm's Law? It only...

    Is an Incandescent Lightbulb Truly a Non-Ohmic Device?

    Hmmm. How about this: https://nigerianscholars.com/tutorials/electric-circuits/ohmic-and-non-ohmic-conductors/#:~:text=Conductors%20which%20obey%20Ohm%27s%20Law,will%20be%20a%20straight%2Dline.

    Is an Incandescent Lightbulb Truly a Non-Ohmic Device?

    If an ohmic device is one where the current flowing through it is directly proportional to the potential difference across it, given that temperature remains constant, why is it that people are always giving an incandescent lightbulb as an example of a non-ohmic conductor? Sure, the resistance...

    The best physics magazines and the best physics books?

    I would like to read a book about semiconductor devices. Ultimately I want to understand thin film transistors (MOSFETs in particular). Many years ago I read the majority of Ben Streetman's book: Solid State Electronic Devices. Now, I want to revisit the subjects covered there. I have...
