Problem

A student records the following pairs of potential difference VV and current II for two conductors. Conductor X: (2 V, 0.4 A),  (4 V, 0.8 A),  (6 V, 1.2 A)(2\,\text{V},\,0.4\,\text{A}),\;(4\,\text{V},\,0.8\,\text{A}),\;(6\,\text{V},\,1.2\,\text{A}) Conductor Y: (2 V, 0.5 A),  (4 V, 0.9 A),  (6 V, 1.2 A)(2\,\text{V},\,0.5\,\text{A}),\;(4\,\text{V},\,0.9\,\text{A}),\;(6\,\text{V},\,1.2\,\text{A}) Which statement about their behaviour is correct? (a) Both X and Y obey Ohm’s law equally well (b) Only X obeys Ohm’s law more closely than Y (c) Only Y obeys Ohm’s law more closely than X (d) Only X does not obey Ohm’s law, whereas Y does
