Answer:

Correct Answer: 16.(True)

Solution:

Formula:

Combination of Resistances:

  1. $\frac{I}{V}=$ 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}} $

$\text { or } \quad R _{T _2} >R _{T _1} \text { or } T _2>T _1$
