Question
In an experiment of verification of Ohm’s law following observations are obtained.
|
Potential difference V (in volt) |
0.5 | 1.0 | 1.5 | 2.0 | 2.5 |
| current I (in ampere) | 0.2 | 0.4 | 0.6 | 0.8 | 1.0 |
Draw a V-I graph and use this graph to find:
- the potential difference V when the current I is 0.5 A,
- the current I when the potential difference V is 0.75 V,
- the resistance in a circuit.

Solution
- 1.25 V
- 0.3 A
- The graph is linear, so resistance can be found from any value of the given table. For instance:
When V = 2.5 Volt
Current is I = 1.0 amp
According to ohm's law:
R = `"V"/"I"`
R = `2.5/1.0`
R = 2.5 Ω
