2 (a) Figure 4 shows the results from an experiment where the potential difference (voltage) across a filament lamp was varied. The current and voltage were measured.
(i) Describe the relationship between the current and the voltage as shown in the graph in Figure 4.

Answer

(i) The graph in Figure 4 shows a nonlinear relationship between the current and the voltage across a filament lamp. As the voltage increases, the current also increases, but at a decreasing rate. This indicates that the resistance of the filament lamp increases with voltage, which is typical behavior for a filament lamp as it heats up.
