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.
