To determine

To sketch: The resistance as a function of current.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The resistance is inversely proportional to the current.

When resistance increases, the current decreases. The resistor is an electronic component that is used in the circuit to control the flow of current.The sketch of the resistance as a function of current is given below, when V>0 ,
