Practice question
Question
Why does a non-ohmic device, like a diode, exhibit a non-linear current-voltage relationship?
Explanation
In a diode, resistance depends on the direction and magnitude of the applied voltage due to its semiconductor junction properties. Forward bias reduces resistance, while reverse bias increases it, leading to a non-linear I -versus- V curve.
