For a material such as GaAs, the same value of voltage can correspond to more than one value of current. This illustrates that:

Answer: the V-I relation is not always unique.

  • A Ohm's law always holds
  • B the V-I relation is not always unique
  • C resistance is independent of temperature
  • D current is always proportional to voltage

Correct answer: B. the V-I relation is not always unique

Explanation: One NCERT limitation of Ohm's law is that the V-I relation need not be single-valued: the same V can give more than one I, so the graph is non-linear and multi-valued.

In series, the same current flows through both resistors; in parallel, the current splits between branches and the voltage across each resistor is the same.

Concept context

Ohm's law, resistors, Kirchhoff's laws, Wheatstone bridge, and cells.
