Asked by kelvin calin

A graph with resistance in ohms on the x-axis from 0 to 200 and current in amps on the y-axis from 0 to 5. The graph is labeled as current as a function of resistance at 50 V. Points are plotted at (10, 5), (20, 2.5), (100, .5) and (200, .25). There is an inverse curve through the points.
Use the graph to answer the questions.

Based on the graph, what happens to current as resistance increases?

This type of graph shows which type of relationship between the two variables?

What would be a reasonable estimate for current at a resistance of 50 Ω?

- As resistance increases, the current decreases — rapidly at low resistances and more slowly at higher resistances (approaching zero as R becomes very large).

- The graph shows an inverse (inverse-proportional) relationship — a hyperbolic curve: I ∝ 1/R (not a linear relationship).

- At R = 50 Ω a reasonable estimate is I = 50 V / 50 Ω = 1.0 A.
