Ohmic behavior Non ohmic behavior

The term "non-Ohmic" refers to a The current flowing through a
system that does not have a resistor is directly proportional to
continuous resistance. A resistor is the voltage through it (as long as

"Physical quantities which affect resistance 'r'

of a conductor are temperature (t), length (l),
resistivity and the cross sectional area."
