Two students perform experiments on series and parallel combinations of two given resistors `R_1 and R_1` and plot the following V -1 graphs [Fig. 5.24.]. Which of the graphs is/are correctly labeled in terms of the words 'series' and 'parallel'? Justify your answer.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We know that the resistance `(R_s)` in series combination
of two resistor is more than the resistance `(R_p)` in parallel
combination of the same two resistor. As I = V/R, for a given
potential `(V), I lt I_P.` In both the graphs, for a given potential
difference (V) across each combination, `I_s lt I_p.` Hence, both the
graphs are properly labeled.
