Statement A: Ohm's law is not valid for some conditions of voltage and current. Statement B: There do exist materials and devices used in electric circuits where Ohm's law is not valid.
Statement A: Ohm's law is not valid for some conditions of voltage and current. Statement B: There do exist materials and devices used in electric circuits where Ohm's law is not valid. Correct Answer Both statements are true
CONCEPT:
Ohm's law:
- A conductor through which a current I is flowing and let V be the potential difference between the ends of the conductor. Then Ohm’s law states that
⇒ V ∝ I
⇒ V = IR
where R is called the resistance of the conductor. Resistance depends on the shape, size, and material of the conductor.
Limitations of Ohm's law:
- Ohm’s law is valid over a large class of materials.
- There do exist materials and devices used in electric circuits where the proportionality of V and I does not hold.
The deviations in occurring are one or more of the following types:
- V is not to be proportional to I for some range of V or I

- The relation between V and I depends on the sign of V.
- Reversing the direction of V keeping its magnitude fixed does not produce a current of the same magnitude as I in the opposite direction.

- The relation between V and I is not unique
- There is more than one value of V for the same current I

EXPLANATION:
- There are conditions when Ohm's law is not valid, like high current densities that raise the temperature of the conductor. Therefore statement A is correct.
- There are materials like diodes that do not always follow Ohm's law. Therefore statement B is also correct.
- Hence, option 1 is correct.
