Question

For the graph shown in the figure, what physical quantity does the slope of the graph represent for a dc circuit? The plot shows the power as a function of potential. The potential is measured on the positive x-axis, and the power is measured on the positive y-axis. The power increases linearly from the origin.

Explanation / Answer

P/V =k=constant

P=I^2*R =V^2/R =V*I=>P/V =I

Therefore, answer is current

Let's assume you only one formula from above i.e P=I^2*R

substitute I=V/R

=>P=V^2/R =>P/V =V/R =I
