Answer:
Correct Answer: 16.(True)
Solution:
Formula:
- $\frac{I}{V}=$ slope of given graph $=\frac{1}{R} \quad$ or $\quad R=\frac{1}{\text { slope }}$
Resistance of a metallic wire increases with increase in temperature.
$(\text { slope }) _{T _2} <(\text { slope }) _{T _1} $
$\therefore \frac{1}{(\text { slope }) _{T _2}} >\frac{1}{(\text { slope }) _{T _1}} $
$\text { or } \quad R _{T _2} >R _{T _1} \text { or } T _2>T _1$
