How do you plot ohms law graph of potential difference versus current?

The current is represented by the horizontal (x) axis, and the potential difference is represented by the vertical (y) axis.If the resulting graph is a straight line, then it confirms that the circuit is obeying Ohm's Law. If the resulting graph is a curve, then the circuit does not obey Ohm's Law.The gradient at any point along of the resulting line represents the resistance of the load for that ratio of voltage to current.


What obeys ohms law nichrome thermistor or diode?

Ohm's Law only applies when the ratio of voltage to current is constant for variations in voltage. If you were to plot a graph of current against voltage, and the result is a straight line, then Ohm's Law applies; if the result is a curved line, then Ohm's Law does NOT apply.Ohm's Law is NOT a universal law; in fact, if barely qualifies as a 'law' at all because, in most cases, it does not work!Nichrome alloy is designed to retain a constant resistance over a wide range of temperatures. So it is considered to be 'ohmic' or 'linear' because, when plotting current against voltage, it produces a straight-line graph, for variations in voltage. So, nichrome obeys Ohm's Law.Thermistors and diodes produce curved graph lines and, so, are considered to be 'non-linear' or 'non-ohmic', and do NOT obey Ohm's Law.


What factors determine power?

Power = Current * Voltage * Power FactorAbove expression can further be explore as :1. For DC CircuitsPower = Current * Voltage2. For Single Phase AC CircuitPower = Current * Voltage * Power Factor3. For Three Phase AC CircuitPower = Line Current * Line Voltage * Power Factor


What is the connection of normal wire star or delta?

normally delta connection wired in 3 phase induction motor. during starting wiring is in Star and after running normal speed changeover to delta .beacause starting time its phase voltage equals less root3 times of line voltage ,line current and phase current equals. in Delta phase voltage and line voltage equals, and phase current equals root3 times line current


Which mode of transmission would result in less energy loss high current and low voltage or low current and high voltage Explain your reason?

low current high voltage power dissipation in power line = I2R the resistance of the power line is hard to reduce, especially when it is a long transmission line. but reducing the current through the line reduces losses as the square, a dramatic savings. reducing voltage would have no effect and would dramatically increase losses due to increase in current to try to deliver same power.

How do you plot graph on forward and reverse diode bias?

You generally plot a graph of Voltage v/s Current (with voltage on Y axis and current on the X axis). The graph will not be a straight line.


What are ideal for showing trends?

A line or bar graph is ideal for showing trends.


Why is the graph of the non-ohmic conductor is curved in nature?

Ohmic (or 'linear') materials obey Ohm's Law. That is, their ratio of voltage to current remains constant for variations in voltage. Ohmic materials, therefore, produce a straight line graph when we plot current against variations in voltage;Non-ohmic (or 'non-linear') materials do not obey Ohm's Law. That is, their ratio of voltage to current variesfor variations in voltage. This means that non-ohmic materials produce a curved line graph when we plot current against variations in voltage.


What point on a graph represents ohm's law?

There is no 'point on a graph' which represents Ohm's Law. It's the shape of the graph that determines whether Ohm's Law applies.If a graph is drawn showing the resulting variation in current for changes in voltage then, for Ohm's Law to apply, the graph must be a straight line.If the resulting graph is not a straight line, then Ohm's Law doesn't apply.


Is there any similarity between the graphs plotted between voltage and current?

When you plot a graph of voltage against current, you can end up with a straight line or a curved line.If you have a straight line, then it shows that the change in current is directly proportional to the change in voltage and, so, the circuit is obeying Ohm's Law. If the graph is a curve, then the change in current is not proportional to the change in voltage and, so, the circuit is not obeying Ohm's Law.In the case of a straight-line graph, the gradient of the graph indicates the resistance of the circuit. The greater the gradient, the higher the circuit resistance.In the case of a curved-line graph, the gradient (i.e. the tangent) at each point along that curve will indicate the (changing) resistance at each of those points.

What is the type of graph that is useful for showing trends or continuous change?

A line graph is useful for showing trends or continuous change. Other kinds of graph also will show these, but a line graph is usually clearest.

Does voltage vs current graph passes through origin?

Yes. While it isn't clear what device you are talking about, and different devices have different characteristic curves (for example, a straight line for a resistor), a voltage is required for a current to flow, so if there is no voltage, there won't be any current, either.
