FAQs on I-V characteristic of ohmic resistor simulator
Qus 1. What is the I-V characteristic of an ohmic resistor?
An ohmic resistor shows a linear I-V graph, meaning current increases proportionally with voltage, following Ohm’s Law (V = IR).
Qus 2. Why is the I-V graph of an ohmic resistor a straight line?
The straight line represents a constant resistance, where the ratio of voltage to current remains the same at all points.
Qus 3. What does the slope of the I-V curve represent?
The slope of the I-V graph (V/I) gives the resistance (R) of the resistor.
Qus 4. What happens to the I-V curve if resistance changes?
If resistance increases, the slope of the line becomes steeper; if resistance decreases, the line becomes flatter.
Qus 5. Can an I-V simulator show non-ohmic behavior?
Yes, simulators can also model non-linear I-V curves for non-ohmic components like diodes and filament bulbs.
