Q27 of 27 Page 1

The values of current (I) flowing through a given resistor of resistance (R), for the corresponding values of potential difference (V) across the resistor are as given below:


Plot a graph between current (I) and potential difference (V) and determine the resistance (R) of the resistor.


According to the Ohm’s law the current generated through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference or voltage applied across the conductor. It can be described with following mathematical expression,



The above equation can be rearranged into,



The question has provided with a table that show the values of current I through a resistor R for different values of voltage V.


Graph :



Since, the value of the resistor is the slope of the V-I graph, which is equal to 5Ω
