Graph Assignment 2025

The document outlines an exercise involving the relationship between current and potential difference in an electrical circuit, requiring students to draw a graph, calculate the gradient, and determine the y-intercept. It also asks for the identification of the law represented by the graph and the formulation of an empirical equation. The exercise is structured to assess understanding of linear graphs in the context of electrical circuits.

1. Draw a graph of current I as a function of potential difference V. [12]

2. Calculate the gradient and the inverse/reciprocal of the gradient of the graph
and show units (indicate selected points on the graph) [6]

3. What does the inverse/reciprocal of the gradient represent? [2]

4. Determine I(0) (y-intercept/ I- intercept) from the graph (indicate on the


graph)
[2]

5. What law is represented by the graph above and state the law and write the
Equation? [4]

6. Set up an empirical equation for the current as a function of potential


difference of the electrical circuit. Use the numerical value gradient and
intercept. (no calculations required) [4]
