====Description====
: The [[IV Graph]] for a [[resistor]] shows that:: *As [[Potential Difference|potential difference]] increases, [[Electrical Current|increases]].: *The relationship between [[Potential Difference|potential difference]] and [[Electrical Current|current]] is [[linear]] (the [[gradient]] is constant).: *The [[Electrical Current|current]] is [[Directly Proportional|directly proportional]] to [[Potential Difference|potential difference]].
====Explanation====
: [[Resistor]]s obey [[Ohm's Law]] so the "[[Electrical Current|current]] through a [[Electrical Resistor|resistor]] at constant [[temperature]] is [[Directly Proportional|directly proportional]] to the [[Potential Difference|potential difference]] across the [[resistor]]."
