V-I graph for the readings is shown below:

In an experiment of verification of Ohms law, following observations are obtained. Draw a V-I graph and use this graph to find the potential difference V when the current I is 0.5 A. The current I when the potential difference V is 0.75 V. The resistance in circuit. Current Electricity, Concise Physics Solutions ICSE Class 10.

(a) We can observe from the graph that when current is 0.5 A then potential difference is 1.25 V. (b) We can observe from the graph that when potential difference is 0.75 V, then current is 0.3 A. (c) Slope of the graph gives the resistance, and as the graph is linear So, if potential difference (V) = 1.0 V current (I) = 0.4 A From Ohm's law V = IR Substituting the values in the formula above, we get, Hence, the resistance in circuit = 2.5 Ω
