An Electric Circuit Consisting of a 0.5 M Long Nichrome Wire Xy, an Ammeter, a Voltmeter, Four Cells of 1.5 V Each and a Plug Key Was Set Up. Following Graph Was Plotted Between V And I Values: - Science

Sum

An electric circuit consisting of a 0.5 m long nichrome wire XY, an ammeter, a voltmeter, four cells of 1.5 V each and a plug key was set up.

Following graph was plotted between V and I values:

What would be the values of V/I rations when the potential difference is 0.8 V, 1.2 V and 1.6 V respectively?
What conclusion do you draw from these values?

What is the resistance of the wire?

Solution

When potential difference = 0.8 V, current = 0.32 A.
V/I=0.8/0.32

V/I = 2.5
When potential difference = 1.2 V, current = 4.8 A.
V/I= 12/48

V/I=2.5

When/ /potential difference = 1.6 V, current = 6.4 A.
V/I= 1.6/6.4

V/I =2.5h V-I graph is a straight line with a constant slope of 2.5.
The resistance of the wire is 2.5 Ω.

Is there an error in this question or solution?
