SUMMARY

Non-ohmic devices are those that do not follow Ohm's law, meaning their resistance changes with voltage or current. Besides filament bulbs, other examples of non-ohmic devices include diodes, thermistors, and transistors. Filament bulbs deviate from Ohm's law primarily due to the temperature dependence of their resistance, which increases as the filament heats up. Understanding these characteristics is crucial for applications in electronics and electrical engineering.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Ohm's Law and its applications
  • Basic knowledge of electrical components like resistors and diodes
  • Familiarity with temperature-resistance relationships in materials
  • Concepts of current, voltage, and resistance in circuits
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the characteristics of diodes and their applications in circuits
  • Explore the behavior of thermistors and their temperature sensitivity
  • Learn about transistors and their role as non-ohmic devices
  • Investigate the impact of temperature on the resistance of various materials
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, electronics students, and anyone interested in the behavior of non-ohmic devices in circuit design and analysis.

Hi all, besides the filament bulb what other devices are considered to be non ohmic??
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
What makes a filament bulb deviate from ohm's law? If you know that, you can list other devices yourself.
 
hey thanks that helps a lot
