Problem

A specimen of material X carries a current of 2 A2\,\text{A} when a potential difference of 5 V5\,\text{V} is applied across it. When the potential difference is increased to 15 V15\,\text{V}, the current rises to 4 A4\,\text{A}. (i) Calculate the resistance of X at each voltage. (ii) State, with reason, whether material X obeys Ohm’s law. (iii) Comment on the nature of variation of resistance with applied voltage for this material.
