Physics AS level - Electricity

So I just want to check if I am correct...

Diode is NON OHMIC

Filament lamp is NON OHMIC (so both the diode and filament lamp have the same IV graphs and VI graphs)

Thermistor is a SEMI-CONDUCTOR


Also, are there any other examples of non-ohmic materials ?

Most materials that transfer electrical energy into some quantity of thermal energy. When this happens, pd is no longer proportional to current because resistance does not stay constant in this case.
