Only if you define resistance that way. For non-linear circuit
elements it's a pretty meaningless thing to say.

Absolutely. And if we dare mention in this thread that internal
resistance of a battery is dI/dV (rather than I/V), then god knows what

battery is a big bucket full of electrons!

WHOOPS - meant dV/dI and V/I, sorry!
