why ohms law does not obey semi-conducters?

Answer Posted / iamdon

Due to concept of space charge and junction
capacitance,semiconductors behave as a nonlinear
device,meaning thereby there is a nonlinear(expontial)
relationship between V and I.

Ohms law is applicable only for linear devices which has no
such concepts.Linear devices obey V=I*R relation.Here the
linearity exists between V and I.

Being a nonlinear device,semiconductor does not obey Ohms
law.
