Question 11

A student measures the current through a newly developed conducting polymer filament at various potential differences. Table 1 shows their results.

Table 1

Potential difference (V)Current (mA)
0.51.2
1.02.4
1.53.3
2.03.8
2.54.0
3.04.0

The student uses these results to write the following conclusion:

"Since doubling the potential difference from 0.5 V to 1.0 V doubles the current, the current is directly proportional to the potential difference across the entire range, and it continues to increase throughout."

Comment on the student's conclusion.
