Paper 5, Paper 6
A graph showing how the current through a component changes with the potential difference across it.
Revise: Circuit calculations and component investigationsPlot current on the vertical axis and potential difference on the horizontal axis. These I–V characteristics show whether current is proportional to potential difference and whether resistance remains constant.
