Question

Study the I-V graph for three resistors of resistances R1, R2 and R3 and select the correct statement from the following: ampere

A

R1 = R2 = R3

B

R1 $>$ R2 $>$ R3

C

R3 $>$ R2 $>$ R1

D

R2 $>$ R3 $>$ R1

Answer

R1 $>$ R2 $>$ R3

Explanation

Solution

From the slope of the I-V graph:
$R = \frac{V}{I}.$
The steeper the slope, the higher the resistance. Based on the graph:
$R_1 > R_2 > R_3.$
