: not ohmic specifically, of a circuit : not having the property that a potential difference of one volt produces a current of one ampere non-ohmic conductors.

What are ohmic and non ohmic?

Ohmic resistors are the resistors which obey ohms law. Non ohmic resistors are those which do not obey ohms law. in ohmic resistors current is directly proportional to voltage. in non ohmic resistors there is no linear relationship.

What does it mean for a material to be non ohmic?

Non-Ohmic conductors definition: Non-Ohmic conductors are those electrical conductors that do not follow Ohms law. In other words the relationship between voltage and current is not linear for all values. In other words doubling the voltage will not result in a doubling of the current.
