Exam-style question
Try this first
Define ohmic and non-ohmic conductors. What is the key difference between them?.
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- Ohmic conductors follow Ohm's law, meaning their current is directly proportional to the potential difference across them, resulting in a linear I-V characteristic.
- Non-ohmic conductors do not follow this law, exhibiting a non-linear relationship between current and potential difference.
Explanation
Why this works
This question tests the understanding of electrical behavior in different types of conductors. By defining both concepts and identifying the key difference, students demonstrate their grasp of fundamental electrical principles and their application in real-world scenarios.
