Ever noticed how a light bulb doesn’t brighten instantly when you flip the switch? That’s a clue to the funky world of non-ohmic behavior. Grab your nerd goggles, let’s dive in!

• If a graph of Voltage (V) against Current (I) is straight, they're best buddies and proportional. But if it's wobbly, they're going through some issues (it's complicated 🤷‍♂️).
• The lamp in our discussion? Totally non-ohmic. In simple teen language, it's "not straight-up chillin' like a metal wire at a constant temperature."

🍎 Real-world example: Think of driving a car on a straight road (ohmic) vs. a winding mountain path (non-ohmic). The latter is unpredictable and requires more effort!

• Resistance isn’t staying the same. As the current goes up, the resistance of the lamp is like, “Hold up! I need to crank it up too!”
• Imagine electrons as party guests passing energy drinks (energy) to the filament. More current means they're speed-walking faster and passing out more drinks.
• More energy drinks = more bouncing around (increased kinetic energy) of the party's lattice ions. In short, the lamp's temperature rises.
• But there's a twist: the more these ions bounce (because of the temperature), the more our electron guests bump into them. Result? More energy is given to the lattice.

🍿 Fun Analogy: It's like at a crowded party, the more excited and energetic people get, the more collisions and spillages you'll witness.

Not just partying lamps! There are cool devices like semiconducting diodes and thermistors. They’re from the semiconductor squad.
