Ohm’s law is R=V/I. For the ordinary resistance, this is a constant proportion for a large range of V. But this is not true for all devices. Today we look at the Zener diode which has a high resistance up to a point and then almost no resistance for a large range of V. Also, we look at the tunnel diode (also known as the Esaki diode) which actually has a negative resistance over a particular range of V.
