i) What is an ohmic resistor?

ii) Two copper wires are of the same length, but one is thicker than the other.

1. Which wire will have more resistance?

2. Which wire will have more specific resistance?


i)
Ohmic resistors: The conductors which obey ohm’s law are called the ohmic ressitors or linear resistances. For such resistors, a graph plotted for the potential difference V against I is a straight line.

ii)
