Why bulbs are not used in place of resistors to prove ohm's law?

Expert Answer
A bulb is a non-ohmic resistor. This means that, the resistance of the bulb changes with temperature.
For Ohm's law to be obeyed V/I = R. Thus, resistance needs to be constant even when I and V change.
Now, if we replace the resistor with a bulb, when current changes, temperature of the filament of bulb also changes. This changes the resistance of the bulb.
Thus, bulbs cannot be used to prove Ohm's law.
