The graph (Figure 4.32) shows how temperature varies with distance along a well-insulated metal rod conducting heat at a steady rate. The slope of this graph is the temperature gradient. If an equivalent electrical graph were drawn against distance along the rod, which electrical quantity would have the slope shown?

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Temperature corresponds to electric potential. The electrical graph would be potential against distance, and its slope is the potential gradient. B.
