The I-V graphs for two different electrical appliances \( \mathrm{P} \) and \( \mathrm{Q} \) are shown in diagram . If \( R_{p} \) and
\( R_{Q} \) be the resistances of the devices, then

  1. A \( R_{p}=R_{Q} \)
  2. B \( R_{p}>R_{Q} \)
  3. C \( R_{p} < R_{Q} \)
  4. D \( R_{p}=\frac{R_{Q}}{2} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \( R_{p}>R_{Q} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

By Ohm's law, \( V=I R \Rightarrow \frac{I}{V}=\frac{1}{R} \)
Thus, the slope of I-V graph is reciprocal of resistance. In the given diagram,
Slope of \( Q> \) Slope of \( P \)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{1}{R_{0}}>\frac{1}{R_{p}}\)
\(\Rightarrow R_{p}>R_{o}\)
