Fig. shows I-V graph for two conductors A and B.

Which conductor has more resistance ? Give reason to you r answer.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The resistance of conductor B is more.
Reason: Resistance =`(1)/("Slope of I-V graph ")`
Since straight line for conductor B is less steeper than that of conductor A, so the resistance of conductor B is more than that of A.
