Question
A student carries out an experiment and plots the V-I graph of three samples of nichrome wire with resistances R1, R2 and R3 respectively. Which of the following is hue?
Options
R1 = R2 = R3
R1 > R2 > R3
R3 > R2 > R1
R2 > R3 > R1

Solution
R3 > R2 > R1
Explanation:
Current is inversely proportional to the resistance for the same potential. So higher resistance would allow less current to pass through its which is shown by R3 as I3 < I2 < I1.
∴ R3 > R2 > R1
