Ohm's law is a linear approximation for the voltage versus current across a conductor. This approximation works very well for good conductors (like metals) as well as poor conductors (like wood), but not very well for semi-conductors (like Silicon).

No. Ohm's law is valid for any substance. Even semiconductors, and substances that we would call 'insulators'.

What is meant by electric resistance of a conductor?

Electric resistance is a measure of how much a material impedes the flow of electrical current. It is denoted by the symbol R and is measured in Ohms. Conductors with higher resistance require more energy to push current through them.

Will maximum current flow through 0 ohms of resistance?

In theory, you would get infinite current. But, of course, in practise, this cannot happen, as any large current would cause severe damage to the source supplying that current, not to mention the conductors involved. Protection against such currents would be provided by a fuse or circuit breaker.

How do conductors obey the Ohm's law?

Very few conductors obey Ohm's Law, and its the rise in temperature of the conductor when current flows though it that prevents it from obeying Ohm's Law. Some alloys, such as constantan, obey Ohm's Law over a limited range because, over that range, changes in temperature don't affect their resistance. It's really time that we stopped teaching Ohm's Law, as it is not universal, and applies to very few conductors and hardly any electronic components!


How many amperes of current will flow in a circuit if the voltage difference is 9 V and the resistance in the circuit is 3 Ω?

Ohm's Law: Current = Voltage divided by resistance 9 volts divided by 3 ohms = 3 amperes.


What are watts amps and ohms?

Watts measure power, or the rate at which energy is consumed or produced. Amps (amperes) measure electrical current, or the flow of electrons in a circuit. Ohms measure electrical resistance, or the opposition to the flow of current in a circuit.


Resistance to current flow is measured in?

Resistance to current flow is measured in ohms, denoted by the symbol Ω. It quantifies how much a material or component impedes the flow of electric current through it.
