Question
The relationship between the potential difference and the current in a conductor is stated in the form of a law.

Solution
1) The relationship between the potential difference and the current in a conductor is given by Ohm’s law.
2) The slope of the V–I graph gives the resistance of the conductor.
Slope = `V/I = R`
3) The material used for making connecting wires is copper.
