Question

Graphs plotted by four students A, B, C and D for the experiment "To study the dependence of current (I) on the potential difference (V) across a resistor" are shown below:

The correct V-I graph is
(1) A
(2) B
(3) C
(4) D

Solution

Ohm's Law gives us the dependence of current on the potential difference across a resistor. i.e. $V = I R or I = (\frac{1}{R}) V$ . From the given expression, we can say that the graph between I and V is a straight line passing through the origin.

Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
