Detailed Solution
Terminal voltage V=E−Ir. Hence, the graph between V and I will be a straight line having negative slope and positive intercept.Thermal power generated in the external circuit, P=EI−I2r. Hence, graph between P and I will be a parabola passing through origin.Also at an instant, thermal power generated in the cell = I2r and total electrical power generated in the cell= Ei. Hence the fraction η =I2rEI=rEI; so η∝ I. means graph between η and I will be a straight line passing through origin.
