Abstract
The present invention provides a voltage nonlinear resistor containing zinc oxide as a major component, wherein the degree of orientation f(100) of the (100) plane of zinc oxide is 0.40 or more and is represented by the following equation: f(100)=I(100)/(I(100)+I(002)+I(101)), where I(hkl) represents the peak intensity (integral) of a (hkl) plane.
