V – I graphs for parallel and series combination of two metallic resistors are shown in figure. Which graph represents parallel combination?

A

A

B

B

C

Both A & B

D

Neither A nor B

Answer

A

Explanation

Solution

Slope of V-I graph gives the resistance and since graph a has smaller slope, hence it will represent smaller resistance. parallel combination of two resistor will always have smaller resistance compared to series combination.
