Document Summary

Using the i - v curves how are ohmic materials different from non-ohmic materials. The main difference between an ohmic and a non-ohmic materials is whether they follow ohm"s law. An ohmic materials would have a linear relationship between the current and the voltage or in simple terms ohmic materials follow ohm"s law. In ohmic materials, current and voltage are directly proportional to each other. While non-ohmic materials, current and voltage are not directly proportional to each other. In a non-ohmic material the resistance of the conductors varies according to the variation in the temperature. When plotting the graph, the slope in ohmic conductors is a straight line while the slope in non-ohmic conductors is a curved line.
