The deviation of the I-V graph from a straight line is due to:
Correct answer: B. Increase in temperature and increase in resistance
- A. Decrease in temperature and decrease in resistance
- B. Increase in temperature and increase in resistance
- C. Decrease in temperature and increase in resistance
- D. Increase in temperature and decrease in resistance
Explanation
At a higher value of current, sufficient heat is produced which raises the temperature of the resistor and causes an increase in resistance.

About Current Electricity
Steady current relates charge flow to potential difference, resistance and resistivity, including how temperature changes a conductor's resistance. Sources with internal resistance have terminal voltage below their emf when delivering current, and maximum power output occurs under a specific load condition rather than at zero resistance.
