Question

What is a defining characteristic of an Ohmic conductor?
Options
A A straight I-V graph passing through the origin
Correct Answer
B Resistance increases with voltage
C Current decreases with voltage
D It does not obey Ohm's law
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

According to page 6, Ohmic conductors obey Ohm's law, and their characteristic I-V graph is a straight line passing through the origin.

Hint

Recall the definition of Ohm's law and how it relates to the current-voltage graph.
