The `V-I` graphs of parallel and series combinations of two metallic resistors are shown in (Fig. 3.53). Which graph represents the parallel combinations ?
.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Since, `V = IR`
`R = (V)/(O)`
The slope of V-I graph for A is smaller than B.
`:.` Resistance of combination A is less. Hence A represents parallel combination
