1 A student carries out an experiment to investigate the

relationship between current and potential difference for
an ohmic conductor.
Diagram 1.1 shows the circuit set-up by the student to
investigate how the potential difference, V across a piece
of constantan wire varies with the current, I in the wire.
The current I is changed by adjusting rheostat.
