I-V characteristic of a copper wire of length L and area of cross-section A is shown in figure. The slope of the curve becomes

a
more if the experiment is performed at higher temperature
b
more if a wire of steel of same dimension is used
c
more if the length of the wire is increased
d
less if the length of the wire is increased

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Slope of V-i curve = R= ρlA But in given curve axis of i and V are interchanged. So slope of given curve =1R= Aρl i.e.,. with the increase in length of the wire, slope of the curve will decrease.
