SUMMARY
The discussion confirms that a resistor is an example of an ohmic device, while a Light Emitting Diode (LED) serves as an example of a non-ohmic device. Ohmic devices obey Ohm's Law, demonstrating a linear relationship between voltage and current, whereas non-ohmic devices do not follow this law and exhibit a nonlinear response. The participants emphasize the importance of understanding these distinctions in the context of electrical circuits.
