Problem

A resistor has a stated value of 4 Ω4\,\Omega. (a) Draw the expected graph of potential difference versus current for this resistor for currents ranging from 00 to 3 A3\,\text{A}. Mark at least two numerical points clearly. (b) Using the graph, find the potential difference across the resistor when the current is 2.5 A2.5\,\text{A}. (c) Explain what the slope of the graph represents and why it remains constant for this resistor.
