Question

Two students perform experiments on two given resistors R₁ and R₂ and plot the following V-I graphs. If R₁ > R₂, which of the two diagrams correctly represent the situation on the plotted curves? Justify your answer.

Answer 1

As R₁>R₂
Therefore, figure (a) is correct. This is because R₁ is greater so the slope of V-I graphs (V/I) is greater, in figure (a) and is correctly represented as R₁ .
