Q.
Suppose the drift velocity vd in a material varied with the applied electric field E as vd∝E. Then V−I graph for a wire made of such a material is best given by :
i=neAv2=neA(kE), where k is the constant i=neAkdV, where V is the potential difference and d is the length of the conductor.
Therefore, V=βi2 (Parabolic curve)
where β is the constant.
