Resistance — practice question

The graph shows the voltage-current relationship for two resistance wires P and Q. Both wires are made of the same material and have the same length. However, their resistances and cross-sectional areas are not the same. Which wire has the larger resistance, and which wire has the greater cross-sectional area?

  • Agreater resistance P, larger cross-sectional area P
  • Bgreater resistance P, larger cross-sectional area Q
  • Cgreater resistance Q, larger cross-sectional area P
  • Dgreater resistance Q, larger cross-sectional area Q
