Important Questions on Electric Current and Circuits


The following figures show four situations, in which positive and negative charges move horizontally through a region and give the rate at which each charge moves. Rank the situations according to the effective current through the region greatest first.

Variation of current passing through a conductor as the voltage applied across its ends as varied is shown in the adjoining diagram. If the resistance is determined at the points and , we will find that

characteristic of a copper wire of length and area of cross-section is shown in the figure. The slope of the curve becomes

The resistance of a conductor varies with temperature as shown in the figure. If the variation is represented by , then

The graph for a conductor at temperature and are as shown in the figure. is proportional to
