Question 58

A researcher investigates how the electric current passing through a new tungsten-carbide heating element varies with the potential difference across it.

I-V Characteristic Graph

a.

State the equation linking potential difference (voltage), current, and resistance.

[1]
b.

Calculate the resistance of the heating element when the potential difference is 15.0 V15.0\text{ V}15.0 V. Show your working and state the unit.

[4]
c.

The researcher reverses the connections to the power supply. Describe the shape of the graph that would be obtained for negative voltages.
