I - V graph for a resistance Wire is shown in the figure given below:

What will be resistance of this wire?

A

`50 Omega`

B

`20 Omega`

C

`7.2 Omega`

D

`1/120 Omega`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The slope of I - V graph represents the reciprocal of resistance.
`:.` Slope = `1/R = (Delta I)/(DeltaV)`
`:. R = (DeltaV)/(DeltaI) =(12-0)/(0.6 -0) =12 /0.6 =20 Omega.`
