COMEDK · Physics · 19. Current Electricity

The voltage – current graph for a metal wire of uniform area of cross section at two different temp T and T' is shown. Then choose the correct statement:

  1. A Temperature T' is greater than temperature T
  2. B Resistance of the conductor at temperature T is greater than resistance of the conductor at temperature T'
  3. C Resistivity is independent of temperature
  4. D Temperature T is greater than temperature T'
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Temperature T' is greater than temperature T

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

From Ohm's law, \(V = IR\), which gives \(R = \dfrac{V}{I}\). The given graph is an \(I-V\) plot. The slope of this graph is \(\dfrac{I}{V} = \dfrac{1}{R}\). From the graph, for a given voltage \(V\), the current \(I\) at temperature \(T\) is greater than the current \(I'\) at…
