Question

the current through a wire is measured as the potential difference is varied what is the wire resistance

Answer 1

Resistance, R = 0.02 Ohms

Step-by-step explanation:

Ohm's law states that at constant temperature, the current flowing in an electrical circuit is directly proportional to the voltage applied across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance in the electrical circuit.

Mathematically, Ohm's law is given by the formula;

V = IR

Where;

V is the voltage or potential difference.

I is the current.

R is the resistance.

From the attachment, we would pick the following values on the graph of current against voltage;

Voltage, V = 0.5 V

Current = 25 A

To find resistance;

R = V/I

R = 0.5/2.5

Resistance, R = 0.02 Ohms

Note:

Resistance (R) is the inverse of slope i.e change in current with respect to change in voltage.
