The conductors which obey Ohm's law are called

Correct answer: C. Ohmic

  • A. Super conductors
  • B. Semi-conductors
  • C. Ohmic
  • D. Non-ohmic

Explanation

Conductors that obey Ohm's law are referred to as ohmic conductors. Ohmic conductors have a constant resistance, meaning that the relationship between voltage (V) and current (I) is linear and follows Ohm's law (V = I R), where R is the resistance. In ohmic conductors, the resistance remains constant over a wide range of voltages and currents. Most metallic conductors at ordinary temperatures exhibit ohmic behavior.

About Current Electricity

Steady current relates charge flow to potential difference, resistance and resistivity, including how temperature changes a conductor's resistance. Sources with internal resistance have terminal voltage below their emf when delivering current, and maximum power output occurs under a specific load condition rather than at zero resistance.
