What does OHMIC mean in Scrabble?
adjective
technical
Relating to or obeying Ohm's law, describing a material or component whose electrical resistance stays constant regardless of the current passing through it.
An ohmic conductor produces a current that rises in exact proportion to the voltage applied across it, so a graph of one against the other forms a straight line through the origin. Plain metal wires at constant temperature behave in an ohmic way, while components such as diodes and transistors do not, since their resistance changes with current. Engineers test whether a contact or material is ohmic before relying on Ohm's law to predict its behaviour in a circuit. The term comes directly from the ohm, the unit of electrical resistance.
How OHMIC is used
A technical term used in physics and electrical engineering to describe conductors that follow Ohm's law.
- The resistor showed clean ohmic behaviour across the whole test range.
- Students plotted current against voltage to check whether the wire was ohmic.
- A diode is not ohmic because its resistance changes with the applied voltage.
- The engineer needed an ohmic contact to get an accurate reading from the sensor.
- At high temperature the metal stopped behaving in a strictly ohmic way.
