Ohm's law (, constant) holds only for ohmic conductors under steady conditions. Its limitations (any three):
-
Non-linear V–I relation: for many materials is not proportional to ; the V–I graph is not a straight line (e.g. semiconductor diodes).
-
Dependence on the sign of V: the current can depend on the direction of the applied voltage. Reversing (same magnitude) does not simply reverse — as in a p–n junction diode which conducts easily one way but not the other. …
