Question

Difference between IV graph and VI graph

Answer 1

Explanation:

An IV graph is where the current is marked on y-axis and the voltage on x-axis.

Slope = y/x

Through the Ohm's Law,

V = IR

Slope of IV graph would be I/V = 1/R.

Therefore, slope of I-V graph represents inverse of resistance.

In a V-I graph, voltage is marked on the y-axis and current on the x-axis.

Slope = y/x

Through Ohm's law,

slope = V/I = R.

The slope of V-I graph represents resistance.
