उत्तर
(i) Terminal voltage across a cell as a function of R
As resistance R increases current (I) in the circuit decreases and terminal voltage (V) increases.
We know V = ε –Ir; Where ε is emf of the cell

(ii) Current I as a function of R.
The current across a cell is given by `"I" = epsilon/("R"+"r")`
When R increases I decreases

A heating element using nichrome connected to a 230 V supply draws an initial current of 3.2 A which settles after a few seconds to a steady value of 2.8 A. What is the steady temperature of the heating element if the room temperature is 27.0°C? The temperature coefficient of resistance of nichrome averaged over the temperature range involved is 1.70 × 10−4 °C−1.
