A Levels Physics (9702)•9702/12/M/J/24

Explanation
Resistance from I-V slope at fixed voltage
Steps:
- Resistance R equals V divided by I for any component.
- At fixed potential difference V, greatest R means smallest current I.
- Compare I values from the I-V graphs at voltage V.
- Graph D has the lowest I at V.
Why D is correct:
- By Ohm's law, R = V/I; D's minimal I yields maximal R.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Higher I at V gives lower R than D.
- B: Even higher I at V results in smaller R.
- C: Moderate I at V leads to intermediate R, still less than D's.
Final answer: D
