Understanding Ohm's Law and Its Graphical Representation
<p>Ohm's Law states that the current (I) through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage (V) across the two points, and inversely proportional to the resistance (R) of the conductor. The mathematical equation representing Ohm's Law is \( V = IR \).</p>
<p>To graphically represent Ohm's Law, one would typically plot voltage (V) on the vertical axis and current (I) on the horizontal axis. For a resistor with a constant resistance, the graph will be a straight line passing through the origin (0,0). This line indicates that as the voltage increases, the current through the resistor increases proportionally, and each point on the line stays consistent with Ohm's Law \( V = IR \). The slope of this line (rise over run) is equal to the resistance (R).</p>
