It is well known from the extant circuit theories that some important nonlinear circuit configurations cannot be modeled analytically. The crux of this limitation is found to be the existence of non-ohmic resistances. Here, it is argued that the idea of non-ohmic resistances is misconceived and, based on a recent development, a pertinent interpretation of the Ohm’s law is drawn whereby such limitations may be removed. The hypothesis of a newly proposed phenomenon, named induced change in resistance, is also presented here.
