If resistance is high that time the current flow is low. Bcoz current always flow through the low resistance path.

Why do inversely proportional functions have asymptotes?

Because the two variables cannot be zero voltage = current*resistance if we draw graph current against resistance we would see a exponential graph which means the two variables are inversely proportional but either cannot be zero because voltage is not equal to 0 n.j.p


Why is the resistance vs current graph is not linear?

resitance is inversly proportional to current when (v) is kept constant <><><><><> Because resistance is a function of temperature.


What does the slope of a graph potential difference vs current represent?

resistance of a material


What does the slope of voltage-current curve represent?

It depends. If voltage is drawn along the horizontal axis, then the slope at any point on the graph represents the reciprocal of resistance at that point. If current is drawn along the horizontal axis, then the slope at any point on the graph represents the resistance at that point.


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.


Why is a graph of voltage against current for a filament bulb curved?

Because as current increases, heat increases and therefore resistance increases. Since resistance is the gradient of the graph, the gradient will increase and therefore the graph will curve. (The filament in the bulb is an non-ohmic conductor; its resistance is only constant at a constant temperature.)Another AnswerIncandescent lamp filaments are manufactured from tungsten. Tungsten is classified as 'non-ohmic' or 'non-linear', which means that (in common with most materials, in fact) it does not obey Ohm's Law. For a material to obey Ohm's Law, the ratio of voltage to current (i.e. its resistance) must remain constant for variations in voltage -as you have discovered, tungsten doesn't do this, producing a curve, rather than a linear, graph. As the original answer indicates, the temperature coefficient of resistance of tungsten in such that, as it gets warmer, its resistance increases.Those few materials that do obey Ohm's Law are called 'ohmic' or 'linear' materials.


Graph of resistance of filament lamp against potential difference?

It will vary from 0 to a certain value but at a slower rate.


What is dynamic resistance of diode?

The Current-Voltage relationship of a diode is not constant (not a straight line) and hence the resistance cannot be measured. Due to this non-linear nature of the the curve, there exists a unique value of resistance at every point of the curve which is called dynamic resistance (not static of constant resistance). The dynamic resistance equals the change in voltage divided by the change in current, when the voltage is changed by a small amount. In other words it is the slope of the graph of voltage against current. The dynamic resistance is different at different current values. About 30 years ago, and I do not remeber the brand or maker, there was a digital multimeter that DID measure dynamic resistance in diodes. It was a God Send for testing diodes in circuit. Diodes only conduct in one direction, so the device would show an open in one direction and a resistance under 1000 ohms on the other or a short (0 ohms).


Why is the gradient on a current-potential difference graph not the resistance?

Resistance is defined by R = V/I where V is potential difference and I is current. It is not: change in pd / change in current - which would be the gradient of the curve. Thus to measure the resistance at a particular pd we simply read off the current at that pd and use the equation above. The problem stems from the way resistors are introduced before non-ohmic components, and for ohmic components it may appear that the gradient is being used for the resistance.


What difficulty will Aries while testing wheather the filament of light bulb obeys ohms law?

If you plot a graph of current against a range of voltages applied to an incandescent lamp, the result will be a curvedline. This tells us that the current is not proportional to the voltage and, so, the lamp does not obey Ohm's Law.However, the ratio of voltage to current will indicate the resistance for that particular ratio.


What is the shape of the graph between volt and electric charge where Volt is the potential difference between the ends of an ohmic resisitor and electric charge is the current flowing through it?

-- If one axis of your graph represents the current flowing through the resistor, then label it "Current", not "Electric charge". There's a big difference between charge and current. -- Ideally, the current through an ohmic resistor is a linear function of the voltage across its ends, namely a direct proportion with the resistance being the constant of proportionality. -- Ideally, the graph is a straight line, with slope equal to the resistance in ohms, and y-intercept of zero. -- In reality, the resistor dissipates energy at the rate of (voltage) x (current) watts. It must warm up as a result, and the change in its temperature always has some effect on its ohmic resistance.


What is the slope of the graph of versus for an ohmic material?

"Ohmic" means it obeys Ohm's law (V=IR, i.e., voltage = current x resistance). Since Ohm's law can be understood to be a definition of resistance, what this really means is that the material has a constant resistance. In such a case, the slope of current as a function of voltage will be a straight line passing through the origin.
