4.1      INTRODUCTION

Circuit theory and electronic textbooks rely heavily on Ohm’s law, which states that the current response to the applied voltage across the length of a resistor is linear [1]. Ohm’s law enjoyed its superiority in the performance assessment of all conducting materials until it was discovered that the velocity cannot increase ...
