- Given that according to Ohm's Law, will the slope
of the (``I as a function of V'') graph be relatively steep or
shallow if is relatively big?
- Compare then the resistance of the two combinations of equivalent
resistor with the value of one of them individually.
Use the definition of
, to explain why this result could've been predicted.
- What happens to the resistance of the light bulb filament as the
voltage is increased. Could this be predicted?
- Make a good guess at the substance used hook-up wire.
