Study Notes
Current Electricity
- Non-ohmic materials exhibit a non-linear voltage relationship.
- Filament lamps and thermistors are examples of non-ohmic materials.
- Filament resistance increases as the filament gets hotter.
- A thermistor's resistance decreases as it gets hotter.
- As thermistors heat up, more free electrons become available, leading to increased current flow.
