Question
What are ohmic and non-ohmic resistances? Write down one example of both.
✓
Answer
Ohmic devices are the devices that follow Ohm's law.
Examples : wire and resistor.
Non-Ohmic devices are devices that do not follow Ohm's law.
Examples : vacuum tubes and thermistors.

A mosquito net over a 7ft × 4ft bed is 3ft high. The net has a hole at one corner of the bed through which a mosquito enters the net. It flies and sits at the diagonally opposite upper corner of the net.
- Find the magnitude of the displacement of the mosquito.
- Taking the hole as the origin, the length of the bed as the X-axis, its width as the Y-axis, and vertically up as the Z-axis, write the components of the displacement vector.
