Ohm's Law

Applied Science: BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma, topic 3.7.5

Ohmic Conductors

An Ohmic conductor is a conductor that obeys Ohm’s Law.

Constant resistance

Constant resistance

  • The current through an ohmic conductor (at a constant temperature) is directly proportional to the potential difference across the resistor.
  • This means that the resistance remains constant as the current changes.
