Non-linear resistors______________?
Correct answer: A. produce harmonic distortion
- A. produce harmonic distortion
- B. follows Ohm's law at low temperatures only
- C. result in non-uniform heating
- D. none of the above
Explanation
A nonlinear resistor does not produce a purely sinusoidal response to a sinusoidal voltage or current, so harmonics are generated and distortion results. Ohm's law is not generally valid for such a device.
