Q. $V \, - \, I$ graphs for parallel and series combination of two metallic resistors are shown in figure. Which graph represents parallel combination?



Question

Solution:

Slope of $V-I$ graph gives the resistance and since graph A has smaller slope, hence it will represent smaller resistance. parallel combination of two resistor will always have smaller resistance compared to series combination.
