Problem

For a certain material kept at constant temperature, the potential difference is increased from 2 V2\,\text{V} to 6 V6\,\text{V} and the current rises from 1 A1\,\text{A} to 3 A3\,\text{A}. How should this material be classified? (a) Non-ohmic conductor; its resistance decreases with voltage (b) Classification impossible with the given data (c) Non-ohmic conductor; its resistance increases with voltage (d) Ohmic conductor; its resistance remains constant
