Answer:

If both the maximum voltage and current are exceeded in a resistor, that the point will lie in the thermal breakdown of the resistor.

Step-by-step explanation:

This indicated that there will be an abundance of free electrons which will be available freely. This abundance of the electrons in a conductor, will result in the reduction of the overall conductivity. whereas in an insulator or semiconductor this will enhance the overall conductivity.

As the point lies in the thermal breakdown, the Ohm's law is no longer valid and thus no analytical solution can be presented in this regard.
