The graph between V and I for a conductor is a straight line passing through the origin.

(a) Which law is illustrated by such a graph?

(b) What should remain constant in a statement of this law?

(a) The I-V graph of the metallic conductor is a straight line pass through the origin. They obey Ohm’s Law, having a resistance that is independent of current. (Ohmic conductors). The variation of current vs voltage is shown below:


 


(b) Temperature remains constant in ohms law.
