Question
The graph between V and I for a conductor is a straight line passing through the origin.
What should remain constant in a statement of this law?
Advertisements
Solution
Ohm's law is true only if the temperature of the conductor is constant.

A metal rod of length 10 cm and a rectangular cross-section of 1 cm × `1/2` cm is connected to a battery across opposite faces. The resistance will be ______.
The circuit depicted in the figure is employed for studying Ohm’s Law. Instead of using a standard resistor, a student opts for a glass tube filled with mercury (tube 1), connected to the circuit through two electrodes, E1 and E2. He records the readings of the ammeter and voltmeter, thereby calculating the resistance. The student repeats the experiment by substituting tube 1 with tube 2, where the same amount of mercury fills tube 2.
Neglecting internal resistance of the cell use (> or < or =) to compare:
- the resistance in both the cases.
- the voltmeter readings in both the cases.
- the specific resistance in both the cases.
