The equations that were derived from ohm's results do NOT require linearity to function they work just fine in non-linear circuits the only difference being it's not called ohms law if you do, and it's not called 'ohmic resistance' it's called static, chordal, or DC resistance.
That's what i have been saying all along, and you have been disagreeing.
And if you dont like the phrase "ohmic resistance", then you should
write to the publishers or writers of the "Standard Handbook for
Electrical Engineers" and talk to them, NOT me. You seem to want to
make up ALL your own definitions, so go ahead, but dont talk to me
about it, talk to them, and too all the universities you dont seem to
agree with either.
Just to recap:
A resistor obeys Ohm's Law, an si diode does NOT. If you dont like it,
write to the universities and argue with THEM from now on.
ohmic
One entry found.
Main Entry: ohm Pronunciation: \ˈōm\ Function: noun Etymology: Georg Simon Ohm Date: 1867 : the practical meter-kilogram-second unit of electric resistance equal to the resistance of a circuit in which a potential difference of one volt produces a current of one ampere
— ohm·ic \ˈō-mik\ adjective
From Websters. Where does this definition state linearity ? According to Websters, Ohmic is just a adjective of Ohm.
You have to realize that Websters is not an authority on electicity and can therefore only offer the simplest
of all possible definitions while words often have more than one definition. You also have to realize that
if you disagree, you are disagreeing not only with me, but with several universities especially the one
that that was quoted from.
