उत्तर
| Ohmic substances | Non-ohmic substances |
| 1. Substances which obey ohm’s law are called ohmic substances | 1. Substances which do not obey ohm’s law are called non-ohmic substances. |
| 2. Potential difference (V) versus current (I) curve is a straight line. | 2. Potential difference (V) versus current (I) curve is not a straight line. |
| 3. Resistance of these substances is constant i.e. they follow linear I-V characteristic. | 3. Resistance of these substances is a function of V or I. |
| 4. Expression for resistance is, R = `"V"/"I"` | 4. Expression for resistance is, R = `lim_(Δ"l"→0)(Δ"V")/(Δ"I")="dV"/"dI"` |
| 5. Examples: Gold, silver, copper etc. | 5. Examples: Liquid electrolytes, vacuum tubes, junction diodes, thermistors etc. |

The circuit depicted in the figure is employed for studying Ohm’s Law. Instead of using a standard resistor, a student opts for a glass tube filled with mercury (tube 1), connected to the circuit through two electrodes, E1 and E2. He records the readings of the ammeter and voltmeter, thereby calculating the resistance. The student repeats the experiment by substituting tube 1 with tube 2, where the same amount of mercury fills tube 2.

- the resistance in both the cases.
- the voltmeter readings in both the cases.
- the specific resistance in both the cases.
