Practice mode Current Electricity

Ohm’s law states that the current in a metallic conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference across it, provided which quantity stays constant?

Correct answer D. Temperature of the conductor

Explanation

Ohm's law holds only when physical conditions, chiefly temperature, remain unchanged. If the temperature rises, the resistance of a metal changes and V is no longer proportional to I.
