The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

The I-V characteristic graph for resistors shows the relationship between the current (I) through the resistor and the voltage (V) across it. The slope of the line in an I-V graph indicates resistance; a steeper slope corresponds to higher resistance. To determine the resistances R1, R2, and R3:
  • Resistor with a steeper slope (lower rate of current increase with voltage) has higher resistance.
  • Resistor with a gentler slope (higher rate of current increase with voltage) has lower resistance.
Analyzing the graph, we find:
  • The line representing R1 has the steepest slope, indicating the highest resistance.
  • The line representing R3 has the gentlest slope, indicating the lowest resistance.
  • The line for R2 falls between R1 and R3 in terms of slope.
Thus, the correct order of resistances is:
  • R1 > R2 > R3
